Just picked up a pair of these from eBay Not quite @Tel (they/them) spastic boots level, but not far off Winter walking sorted.
As in fakes ? Nah they are genuine. I’ve had a pair before. Great insulated winter boots and nice and cushioned too
It's basically because they look nothing like the actual Terrex Gore Tex boots Adidas sell. I reckon they're snide mate. Bought from Ebay, nuff said.
What, like these you mean please log in to view this image https://www.tradeinn.com/trekkinn/en/adidas-terrex-free-hiker-c.rdy-hiking-shoes/138961548/p I'm not sure what you're seeing tbh
I'm seeing what looks like fakes! You brought them for £100 less than Adidas sell them for, from Ebay. They just don't look right.
Are your suspicions not aroused when someone will sell something clearly unworn on Ebay for way down on value when they could have just sent them back? I'd smell a rat myself. Vinted, maybe not, but Ebay is known for it.
They are worn mate, they have a couple of small scuffs and a bit of scratching to the heel support thing. If they looked like some cheap chinese knock offs then yeah, I would be suspicious. But I've had a pair of these before and I know what's genuine and what's not.
I reckon somebody has bought them, worn them a couple of times and then decided they don't like them or they are too big or something.
When you get up close, you can see that they are worn For a saving of £100, when they are going to look like that anyway after a couple of wears, I’ll take that. Those continental soles are some of the best grip l’ve ever had too. Brilliant on wet granite and rocks.
Those pics they look different, it's the first one you posted where they looked brand new and suspicious!
It's just the lighting indoors I guess. They have got a couple of marks, but nothing that would bother me. The last pair I had of these lasted really well, as that Conti sole is really durable.
