The Martens are all genuine. We are an authorized dealer and get them straight from the manufacturer. In addition, here are some ways for telling the difference between a fake and an authentic: Examine the shoe's rear heel. If the metal pin doesn't extend through the entire shoe, then it's not authentic. Also, check to see if there is a serial number on the inside of the shoe. Authentic shoes have these numbers printed on a label when they are made in small quantities by Martens (and other brands) to ensure authenticity. Finally, look at the soles of the shoes. A true Marten has red-colored rubber with a steel shank for support. The shoes should be hard wearing and clean. Our sales staff is trained on how to identify a fakes vs authentic shoes and will be able to help you out. You can contact us at 909-737-0100.
