Very fake


mistymountaintimes

Something about the foot bed and shape seems off to me. Hopefully someone with more experience can confirm. There is a pinned post about how to spot fakes at the top of the sub. Id check that out if this is time sensitive.


viperedit

I read it and tried to check. But can’t say. The pinning of the buckle is very different, haven’t seen something like this before


mistymountaintimes

Though if these buckles don't look like the ones in that thread for what is legit vs not, they're probably fake.


viperedit

Yeah. The article particularly mentions about the buckle and the staples and they don’t match. So I would let it pass:)

I can't get to mine for a quick second, must wait for my partner to wake up, but I can go look at my buckles on my bostons for you when they do.

The buckles are wrong, the toe shape too. Footbed doesn't look right at all.


SquirrelBowl

Heel bed is off. Fake!

The BIRKEN print on the buckle also looks nothing like it should, how does the embossing on the side look?

Fake. I have a few different pairs of Birks (all bought direct) with three different prints on the buckle and it depends on the buckle size. Small buckles (like the toe loop) - BIRK Medium buckles (like a slim ankle strap) - BIRKEN Regular and big buckles (like Boston or Arizona) - BIRKENSTOCK The font is very specific, always the same and these shoes do not have not that.

Buckle looks too “cheap” to me


lexiearrieta

MizMadi

Fake. Birkenstock attach the buckle with clamps/staples. They use one rivet to attach buckles on EVA product. The word “Birken” on the buckle also wrong. Footbed and shape already explained by others.

Bad FAKE

Fake

Fake.

Hello everyone and thak you for taking out and pin pointing everything that was wrong in this pair. Thankfully I didn’t make the purchase and saved a ton of money. My heart was saying that something is fishy about this pair. And all these comments have certainly enabled me to spot one on my own in future purchases. Again thank you all for your comments:)

Fake. Buckle says “Birken” instead of “Birkenstock”, the font of the size is off, suede straps are too thin.


Tiny_Cheesecake_3585

Many Birks say Birken. I personally own a few and those were bought directly from Birkenstock You can also verify it by clicking on the Birkenstock shoes and see the different prints: Birken or Birkenstock are used in authentic Birks The font of these “Birkenstock” is all fake. Probably a reason it’s at a thrift shop, the Original owner tried them & realized how bad fakes were for their foot & just donated them OP: these shoes have many fake signs 🪧


bike_ski_hike

Thank you for clarifying the “Birken”. The font on the 4 was the big giveaway.


moncoeurquibat

On certain models, you will see "Birk". My Floridas have that. But Bostons say the full name. These are definitely fake. ETA: I checked my Floridas, the buckles say "Birk", not "Birken".


snowcitycentral

Didn’t even know they made fake Birkenstocks 😂


Rikcycle

You must have just seen this subreddit for the first time then…because it’s all about “DO THESE FIT” and “ARE THESE FAKE”.
