They are mostly fakes - do you really care? No one will know.0

yes i do care!! i dont want to pay £40 if they are fake! the whole point of shox is the suspension in the heel. i assume the fakes would just look the same and not neccessarily perform the same.
ive just checked the official nike site and for £120 you can design your own colour way and even get your name or something else written on the back lol. still i cant justify that.
whay are trainers so blimmin expensive anyway? lol0 -
But that's the point - they are a copy - they will have a similar heel. I doubt you would ever notice a difference. It's only plastic - not exactly hard to copy.
Just like a fake Rolex - for most users it's just as good as a real one - except that the fake only costs £20.
If its very cheap and branded from Ebay then it's likely a fake.0 -

You'd get called worse than a fashion victim around hereNike Shox with a hoodie and tight jeans and you're Miss Chavtastic UK :eek: for men, team with tracky bottoms (tucked into socks) for that 'Scally' look
Personally I'd steer clear of ebay if you want authentic, I wouldn't pay £40 for fakes either..... it may be worth the extra money for peace of mind. Good luck xJust run, run and keep on running!0 -

If i were you i wouldnt buy shox. I worked in a shoe shop where Nike Shox were sold. However when i spoke to the people there and heard experiences it was clear that Shox are bad for you rather than good. Once the ruber at the bottom wears away there is an uneven bottom which is bad for your foot. Asics are the best shoes i think.

I had my Shox from Littlewoods Even More for £49 and I also used a discount code which took them down to £39. Can't see them on there anymore though"There are no pockets in a shroud..."0
