I bought a pair of Doc Martens shoes (the old classic ones) from amazon before discovering doc marteens had its own selling website. I bought a second pair there after 2 weeks not seeing the one I ordered on amazon, the very same model which made Doc Marteens famous around the world.

They both arrived the very same day.

From the seller addresses on the package, I could know which pair were coming from Doc Marteens website and which pair were coming from the amazon seller.

I put the pairs side by side to compare them.

At first sight, you couldn't tell the differences, but once you got close it was very clear there were not the sames : - The laces were thinner on the fake one. - The leather were thinner on the fake one. - The sole were differents, with different markts and scripture. - The logo at the back of the shoes was very badly reproduced.

The amazon seller had recorded an obviously fake address situated in New York city. The front of the address on google map was a store which has nothing to do with shoes or clothing business.

I posted a review telling the shoes were fake and the seller was selling counterfeit products and had posted a fake address.

Amazon informed me 24 hours later they had removed my review because I didn't stitch to only review the shoes.
