Are these trainers fake?

Sorry, first attempt at posting an image.
I bought these from ebay about 4 months ago, but worn them very littel and even then only for going out - no walking or football etc.
The black has worn off exposing red underneath.
Are they fake? How do I find out for sure? I paid good money for these.
Thanks

you expect someone to know if they are fake from that image?
easiest way is go to a shop and compare0 -
Lots of fake trainers flooding ebay so wouldn't be surprised if they were. Did you check the feedback on the seller to see if anybody else have a problem? A good place to find out if their fake or not is crookedtongues.com0

They are 4 Months old for goodness sake, and they don't look like they have had "hardly any use". I don't mean the red, they just look like an old pair of trainers.
I think you're onto a loser if you are hoping for a refund after such a long time.
Lesson learned, if you want genuine, buy genuine at the RRP0 -
If you want to be sure, why not contact adidas(?) for their opinion?0

Custardly - Of course I expect someone to know from that image, thats why I posted it. perhaps the red under the black is a sign of a fake?
Chong- Thanks for the suggestion , I will look there now.
Apples 2 - Did you read my post before replying? Thats the whole point that they dont look like they have had hardly any use. I already know that they look knackered hence the post. As stated in my first post they have had very little use...... do you get it now?
Yes I am looking for a refund if it turns out that I have bought fake trainers and I would report the seller to trading standards.
Lastly, You assumed that I bought them at a bargain price when this is not the case. ( ASSUME - make an !!! out of U not ME). I wanted a black pair of trainers with velcro not laces and these were not available localy so I bought them online, price was not an issue.
Paddy. Thanks for the suggestion.
By the way, Ive changed my signature.On the internet you can be anything you want.It`s strange so many people choose to be rude and stupid.0
