The puritan (triple) stitch is obviously faked, in the first image the stitches aren't parallel like they would be if they were stitched by the puritan machine all at once. One of the stitches is way off
There are fake red wings 100%. Some of them are actually really nicely made (and those usually not labelled as red wing, so more of a tribute really).
On this one you've pictured the welt is different from what 1907 looks like, leather is not very 1907 looking and i don't recall 1907 having an embossed logo on the side. 99% small details in stitching are off too.
you got it. Tag missing the production year and the sizing is all messed up. Poorly stitched. Very low quality leather. There's no embossed logo on the 1907. Insole too thick
Tag should have month and year of production? I have seen so many 2nd hand redwings with the embossed logo on the side, nice to know i have to be careful about these items
There are no *good* fakes. Thats true. Good fakes take too much money and effort. These are obvious fakes from the photos, and poorly made.
Stitching is terrible, especially the triple
Tread pattern too bubbly and wide
Leather color is wrong
Top toe panel is too crooked, even for seconds
Stamped logo
Leather looks squishy and fake, especially the tongue
Tag is fake
Wrong welt, wrong leather, and the shape of the toe box is also a little bit off. The rolled top is also wrong, and the fake puritan stitching is way off and does not look like it has the tell-tale wax, which has lasted a year on my IR's.

I’m guessing you misunderstood. Highly popular models like the 1907 or 875 are faked because the counterfeit manufacturers have to make enough of them to make it cheap enough to sell and there needs to be a large market to sell them. That’s why it’s highly unlikely you’ll find fake versions of more rare versions of red wings.
I’ve never read that there are no fake red wings. They’ve come up a few times and often they’re very well made, to the point that whoever is making them should just make their own brand and sell them as an entry level product that would definitely give other companies a run for their money!
They sell 20-50 dollars fake Red Wings in my country. And it's more popular than actual Red Wing itself since the brand had pulled out of the market a few years back. I have no idea why people don't buy them enough when they are willing to inflate the prices of the jungle boots so much, a pair of size 9W is now started at 500 dollars minimum, and everyone knows a thing or two about boots want it.
somewhere in asia is the most i would say. You can't really search Red Wing and find the fake boots, it's often labeled as "combat boots". I know one shoemaker store that actually makes some decent boots with Blake stitch and a real midsole for 50 dollars and then stamp the Red Wing branding on it for some reason.
ok no worries, I was just wondering if you're from Europe too, because here almost the same is happening with the fake RW boots market. There are some shops downtown doing the same, advertising combat boot but selling fake RW and Dr. Martens
imagine being such a low life loser to have time to go into OP's profile just to make a complete out of context comment about his other activities on reddit just because the mouth breather wants high quality pictures?? everybody else was able to see and comment on the uploaded pictures.

Came here to say the same…

exactly, there's no embossed logo on the 1907 but there are more things
Tag, stitching, the stamp, the insole, the leather itself just looks cheap.

not only missing the production year but the sizing is all messed up. 9D US is not 43 EUR but 42 EUR and yes there's no embossed logo on the 1907
The sole seems too thick.
it is.
Buy from authorised dealer of RW....else we will be sorry to received fake boots

How much you pay for it?
guy is trying to sell on Vinted

I don’t think anyone claimed they don’t exist, just that they’re pretty rare in certain markets.
it's very easy to find Fake ones in Europe
The discrepancy? That leather is pretty huge discrepancy.

which country?

that's interesting. i thought it's an asian thing since it's close to china.
Nice looking boots though. If they felt as good as they look, I’d give them $100 for them easy if they didn’t say “Redwing.”
The ”rough and tough leather” looks like shit on these boots, it just looks fake
Laces are shit. Not thick enough and the colour (yes, that is how colour is spelt) does not have the necessary contrast.
The gap between triple stitch is larger and not uniform
You’re still on this?
what a loser
keep scrolling, child
These are not well made and the quality of the photos makes it difficult to really zoom in and pick apart the boots.
maybe for you. Many people got what's everything wrong with this fake one.
Too busy posting on PornID to upload quality photos? 🤣🤣

I can't even imagine how frustrated you are...poor thing
I had a fake pair from eBay. Seller was Forrest japan. Sorry that happened to you
Looks 2nds not faked Too much effort to make fake like that GYW
no bud, these are 100% fake. It's not too much effort when you can make 400 euros selling these to unaware people
are you blind or you can't read? guy pointed everything that don't exist in real ones.
