    Not quite @Tel (they/them) spastic boots level, but not far off

    Nah they are genuine. I’ve had a pair before. Great insulated winter boots and nice and cushioned too

    Yeah.

    So how much were they on Ebay? Adidas sell them for £180.

    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.

    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.

    That's because they are second hand.

    They are genuine, just used. Which is why they are cheaper.

    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 look unused in the pic, which is my point really.

    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.
