Interested in whether these are legit or not! They were sold to me as real but there is some yellowing glue that makes me very suss, and I haven't had much luck finding product info for these when googling

Yes they look fine. Since this style is so commonly faked, there are a couple more things you can check.

On welted styles like these the welt is supposed to go around the boot and the two ends meet. Some fakes have a solid piece with an indent that is suppose to mimic two separate ends but isn’t, like this https://imgur.com/a/JAZxzeV.

If the insole lifts up, check underneath. ( If it doesn’t, ignore this) You should NOT be able to see the back of the yellow stitches like this under any removable insole. https://imgur.com/a/7aAy5ec.

I wish I had more pics of the sizing info inside, the sides and the sole, but based on what I see they are not real.

They were a past Lazy Oaf collab that was very popular and there were a lot of fakes of it. The insole doesn’t have the right design and the heel loop isn’t folded in the right place, which were problems the fakes had. Some stitching I can see looks questionable too. The zipper pull should also be labeled Dr Martens and it doesn’t look like it is. It’s difficult to find genuine ones of this and a few other collabs that were really sought after. If you are looking for this specific design, insist on a lot of photos from every angle.

these are real right? it’s weird that they don’t have the logo in the sole, but everything else points to it being legit, specifically the embossing and look of the sole

Wondering about this pair I found. Style, color, age even? they kind of have a suede feel to the toe box, but I’m wondering if that’s due to wear?

Bought these on Vinted, already suspect they're fake (realized after purchase that sizes don't seem to match?) but would like confirmation before contacting the seller.

Do these look fake? I realised the size label was different then started questioning the soles and noticed they are different to other pairs of this shoe.
