Stefanie Rutsch site - is it legit?

I was looking for some shoes in the sales. I came across this US site https://www.stefanierutsch.com/category-product/mens-shoes/ The prices seem to good to be true though, and when something seems to good to be true that's because it is! The Loake shoes on here are at most 20% of the price you would pay in the UK, and if you spend more than $60 shipping, to any destination worldwide, is included. The shoes I was looking at re $77 on this site and the cheapest I've seen them in the UK is £199. Even with import duty and VAT they would be way cheaper than £199. 

I'm tempted but worried the shoes are fake or there is some other issue. Does anyone know anything about them? I can't find any reviews online, which also seems strange and they have no 'About Us' section on their website. Unless people on here have used them and know they're ok I will give them a miss I think.

    It's very difficult to tell, but the contact address given on the website is for a residential home, that might be the home of the person who owns the site, or it might not. I'm not sure I would take the risk for any amount of savings. 
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    The quality of the website is low, the email address for contacting them does not look legitimate, the website is registered to Alibaba.

    It's not a website I would be buying from
  • Whois database says it's based in Kuala Lumpur 
    Website registered via Singapore 

    Looks like a US website? Looks sus to me 
  • Yes, I'm definitely going to give it a miss.
