Just wondering if any of you can tell me if these are legit or not? The serial numbers are different and everything else seems to check out ok.

The thing that's worrying me though is a scratch or maybe a leather join that appears on the in step near the front stripe. It starts at the stripe and arches to the top of the rubber sole. It's hard to see in the photos but I was just wondering if anyone has seen or heard of this sort of thing before and whether it's an indication of fakery?

I've tried a zoom in and you can just make it out but my camera isn't good enough to show it up properly. If you click on the pics the more high res shots show it up better but not perfectly. Can anyone help?

Thanks for helping. Here's some more pics. Do you know if the 'scratch' I mentioned in my previous post means anything?

look fine to me.. how much did you pay for them?

$195 US but do you think the scratch means anything? I bought some fakes a while ago (being a bit of a novice at the time) and they had a lot of these types of scratches which actually split the leather. Have you ever heard of this?

nope never heard of a "scratch" being a way to spot fakes. From the pics you've posted they look ok to me.. The aging on the toe and sole are a good sign. The scratch could be a fault in the leather, or just a... scratch.

Also the leather should be nice and smooth the fake ones I got stung with were more of a mottled leather un like my real ones also look for the little L on the box as a sticker guide and the spare laces should be tightly wrapped hope thats of some help
(any chance of some more stars please olstar?trying only to post decent stuff now and not sh#t)
Three stripes is the only way unless its a red one
