tough to say with that shot. The stripes are supposed to go from light to dark (or dark to light - can't remember), but they all look reasonably the same here.

No they ain't fella.
All together the stripes are nearly always too light on the fakes.
The chaps are right though, they're 100% fake, no doubt about it.
But I'm guessing you only paid about $80 for 'em anyway ?!?

What did you pay for the Unions ?

[Lorrie]

if you look at the Unions at PYS: http://www.pickyourshoes.com/casual/adid..._union.htm

You'll notice that the stripe closest to the shell is dark, the middle is lighter and the third stripe is the lightest. This is what I was referring to - the stripes on yours appear to be all the same lightness.

[mr.pure]

I think that's only those shoes and it's the same side of just one shoe in every shot.
Mere coincidence.
Mine aren't like that.

[Lorrie]

Mine are like that, Mr. P.

EDIT

Also clearly seen on this listing on the bay (item number 160329251689 if link doesn't work):

Here's mine.

The darkness of the snakeskin stripes is just random on every pair imo.
I don't think its a point of reference you can use in which to decide real or fake tbh

[mr.pure]

Absolutely.

[mr.pure]

There's no if's or but's.
They are fake, no doubt about it.
