Would you buy Converse trainers on ebay if they are being shipped from Korea?

[Merguez]

They are the cheapest - but I wonder if they are fake?

nope, no chance whatsoever - if they are fake cost of tracked return is ridiculous. Would only buy from reputable UK shoe retailer on ebay to be sure.

how much are they? you can track down converse quite cheap from the UK

No because they are not converse.

Thanks, that's what I thought!

They will be fake.

Having bought several pairs in Egypt for £5 a pair I can tell you this. They look identical to the real thing. They come in the right boxes with the right labels and you are very hard pressed to tell them apart....but...the soles are not as hard wearing as genuine converse and will wear through in a quarter of the time of genuine converse.

I have genuine converse that have been on the go since about 2005 and still have decent soles, my Egypt ones are almost smooth in a year.

no no no
