How do I know if my shoes are original?

Hi,
I recently purchased my first pair of Blundstone 500’s, and I wonder if these are original or fake. I need a Blundstone expert to help me out.

I have no idea sorry ... but I have to ask what's the point of a heavy-duty lugged sole on a pair of slip-on shoe/boots?



IME the only thing those will do in heavy snow is slip off as easy as they went on.

Maybe you could try asking Blundstone...

Def check with manufacturer. Could be product from new production location, or could be counterfeit and they want your info to help prevent people like you from getting ripped off again. Could mean a new pair of kicks for your time.

I suggest checking out Keen. Their cold weather stuff is fantastic.

S'funny, my size 13 Anchorage boots don't make me feel like a manlet. Might be my favorite winter foot wear, so damn comfortable.

"Manlet" is more a state of mind than anything else!

Did you buy them out of a white van parked at an Exxon gas station while you were pumping gas??

Denial is a good survival skill.
