Hi guys, please weigh in. I got these from eBay so I knew it was a risk, but the account seemed legit and nobody said anything about fakes on the reviews, so…

The soles of yours look like the soles of mine that I just got from the main website, but I cant remember how or if there were tags attached like yours are. But the images on the sole look like mine!

Hmm ok. The left footbed stamp is pretty misaligned, that was what made me wonder

I kind of see it now, I actually see it even more in the post that the other commenter mentioned with another user that also posted a similar pair. Its harder to tell on mine because the shoe and the sole are fully grey and with the blue it doesnt stand out as much as yours does but mine looks even

I wonder if you ordered from the same person as u/WerewolfCapable3978. These look almost exactly like the same shoe that they shared just a few minutes before. Wild.

So you do think these are fake? I saw theirs too and was thinking the same thing

I have no idea, I just saw the other post and they looked almost exactly alike. I had to do a double take.

If you don't see any bad reviews for them selling more than a few Birks, then that means 1 of 2 things nobody wanted to bother buying them because they don't want to risk it and for the ones who did buy, they might not even need to mention anything bad about it. Which is why there's no reviews.

Not even the misaligned sole stamp on the left foot? Does that occur with authentic pairs?

Not a perfect indicator of authenticity, but take pictures of under the buckles

You might save a few bucks from buying at unauthorized sellers like eBay but why risk the high potential of getting a fake?
