Makes for interesting reading this, i'm learning lots, is there a definative hit list of items to look for which we can all take on board? I can go and check mine out in detail, and then be elated or dissapointed

you can check yours against stock pics from www.pickyourshoes.com

This is doing my head in!! i've just been down in the hall examining both pairs of Ian Browns, now the ones thought might be fake seem more beleiveable now, but the ones i thought were fake seem real?? arhhhhh!! The ones i've been wearing are the ones i thought were the crap ones, but now there grubby and will crap in the cabinet, my worry is though cause i use my foot to take the other one off i've scrapped the one letter of the Adidas on the heal where i've contunuley rubbed it with the other sole, they do have the adidas name in the heel quite small across the back?? i give up......

Also the leather should be nice and smooth the fake ones I got stung with were more of a mottled leather un like my real ones also look for the little L on the box as a sticker guide and the spare laces should be tightly wrapped hope thats of some help

(any chance of some more stars please olstar?trying only to post decent stuff now and not sh#t)

miles apart = how far is that? as in a few digits or intergalatic?

also, again call me a novice, which i trully am, and still feel embarissed even typing here and now!! but, why would they release the IB's (which i so love) with the 'white-ness' to them as opposed to making them look clean / mould free??

you mean 'rubberising' shelltoe? i'm sure they were plain color just like leather, it's just time who changed their shade..
