the best indicator i've found is the toebox. i tried to draw it real quick to illustrate; real geos are on the left, and the toebox angles straight up, then curves down, then goes straight again. fakes on the right are round and curvy throughout the toebox.

other indicators things that all real geos have that fakes might not include: the sawtooth sole and staples in the back of the sole

>> No.7190806

>>7190793
No staples, but for all the pics of these new ones on ssense and stuff there haven't been any. My only qualm so far is that there is one to two darker stitches on the back of each shoe. Other than that, they look pretty by the books. I'll try and get some pics.

>>7190806
oh another surefire way to tell is the zipper, though i myself don't actually know how different authentic zippers are. i think real geos' zippers are a bit longer or heavier or something

they seem real from here, given what i can see.
the stitching is small and straight. the back bumpy parts look even and sturdy (usually on fakes they're lumpy and uneven).

plus if you have them on you then just feel them, fakes won't go through the trouble of making them out of real leather

Back of zipper says Raccagni Italy, has a heavy well built feel to it.

ok i recognize R-something-italian-something from some other thread the other day about geos, those are the real zippers. congrats

4 sure fake then?

>> No.7190877

>>7190864

As I recall, only the larger zips on the clothing actually say "Raccagni". The smaller ones on shoes sometimes just have a number stamped in, often a "2" or "3".

So, final verdict?

>> No.7190918

>>7190875

Not saying that. Just seeing the crooked stitch made me sad. If you're sure about the zippers, then you're probably fine.

zippers and toebox are like the most heavily weighted out of things to check, so if those check out then ur good to go

>> No.7190927

>>7190918
Ok, so the insole is leather and has his name on it, there are numbers and made in italy on the inside, the name is on the sole, it came with some big ass black bag, and the tongue tag is wider than the pic. Zipper looks p legit and well made. If you think the rest is ok besides sad face stitch then i've just gotta say one thing. I might love you.

so should the toebox be "boxy" or round? and how should the front of the sole look, from where it connects with the toebox to the bottom?

>> No.7193208

>>7190927
They're real.

could easily tell from the leather

don't real ones have black stitching next to the zipper

>> No.7193429

must be a sad day when u cant even tell if ur own shoes are real or fake

wow

>> No.7193483

>>7193368
they're real. the toebox has slightly sunken down because it's worn. you can also tell it's an older season because it has a low tongue.
>>7193392
this is incorrect. that's for standard colrway. this is reverse colorway and so the color of the stitching is reverse as well.
