Difference in size between real and fakes? -

Hows everyone doing? Got a quick question for anyone that can help. As i have just realised that i have been stitched up with a fake pair of Ian Brown Superstars I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the sizes between the reals and fakes differ? These fakes actually fit really nice surprisingly... The fake ian browns i have are a UK 8 and i am looking to buy the adicolor g5 (typo if anyone noticed i had put 4) camo. If anyone can advise me on this that would be great.
Cheers

Should be around the same size as the real thing BUT G5s are based on SS2 and Ian browns are based on vintage SS.
Personally, I'd go half a size up for G5s (so you'd be an 8.5) as the SS2 has a lot more padding and I find the 35ths are a bit big from the start.

Thanks, yeah i was looking at them on mr shoe shotta dont fancy getting stung as u said. however may need to wait for next months pay packet. But yeah if i find any on ebay im going to make sure to check them out from now on!
I think 8.5 might be right as these were slightly tight at first... thanks for the help... glad i stumbled across this site!

You'll find that a lot of fakes are all the same size.. just labelled up differently. ie 8's 9's 10's all actually a size 9...
Buying fakes.. just don't do it!
