HOW TO BUY A GENUINE PAIR OF TIMBERLAND BOOTS : eBay Guides

I GET EMAILS ALL THE TIME ASKING HOW TO SPOT A FAKE PAIR OF TIMBERLAND BOOTS.I HAVE SOLD OVER 6000 PAIRS IN THE LAST 5 YEARS SO I THINK THAT SHOULD TELL YOU I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

THERE ARE 3 EASY WAYS TO CHECK IF THEY ARE FAKE.

1, INSIDE THE BOOT THERE WILL BE A 5 DIGIT CODE NEXT TO THE BOOT/ SHOE SIZE,THIS WILL CORRESPOND WITH THE CODE ON THE BOX.

2,ALL TIMBERLAND FOOTWEAR CARRIES THE AMERICAN SIZE ONLY.MENS FOOTWEAR IS HALF A SIZE BIGGER THAN THE UK SIZES, FOLLOWED BY EITHER A W (WIDE FITTING) OR M (MEDIUM FITTING).LADIES FOOTWEAR STILL CARRIES THE AMERICAN SIZE BUT THIS IS 2 FULL SIZES BIGGER.FOR EXAMPLE A UK SIZE 6 WILL SHOW AS A SIZE 8 INSIDE THE BOOT,AGAIN USING THE W AND M FITTINGS.

3,SOUNDS RATHER SILLY BUT GENUINE TIMBERLAND BOOTS DON'T HAVE A BIG CARDBOARD TAG HANGING OFF THEM SAYING GENUINE TIMBERLAND,THEY SOMETIMES HAVE A TAG SAYING GUARANTEED WATERPROOF BUT NEVER EVER ONE MADE FROM CARDBOARD.

JUST ASK THE SELLER FOR THE 5 DIGIT CODE,AND THE SIZE STATED INSIDE THE BOOT,IF IT DOES NOT HAVE 1 THEY ARE FAKE.

I HOPE YOU FIND THIS HELPFUL AND IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PAIR OF GENUINE TIMS LOOK UP MY USERNAME.
