The heel trademarks are not only red, but also pink, black, green, etc., so your shoes are not necessarily fake.
The main way to distinguish the authenticity of Vans is from the shoe label, back label and steel seal.
1. Shoe labels
1. Observe the font thickness. The authentic font thickness is natural and smooth, and most shoe labels will not have fonts that overlap, and the fonts will not be too thick or too thick. If you encounter it, please be careful if it is too fine (except made in Vietnam).
2. Observe whether the internal standard letters e and a are bold (this is the mark in the lower left corner of the picture above). Even if some fakes are thick, they are different from the real ones.
3. Observe the color of the shoe labels. Basically, the current shoe labels are natural white as shown in the picture above. If the shoes you purchased have yellowish labels, you need to have them identified.
4. Observe the box. The size of the box is appropriate and the thickness is even.
2. Postscript
1. Observe the font of the postscript. The font is even in thickness and will not be too thick or too thin, so it looks good naturally.
2. Observe the unevenness of the rear mark. Authentic products will have a certain degree of unevenness at the splicing of the white stripes on the heel, and will basically not be flat as a whole.
3. Observe the color of the back label. Most styles of the back label appear dark red and are not particularly bright or abrupt.
4. After observing the transparency, the genuine transparency is very natural. DT stamped shoes are easy to wear and tear. If the rear mark of your shoes is a little worn, don’t immediately suspect it. Bumps during transportation often lead to this situation.
3. Steel seal
1. Observe the steel seal font. The genuine steel seal font is natural, even in thickness and smooth.
2. Observe the thickness of the steel seal. The genuine steel seal has an average thickness and is generally natural.
3. Observe the C letter. The C letter of most ICC/SHC stamps will be bent as shown in the upper left corner of the picture above.
