Is this a scam store?

Shoes next to impossible to find else where they have in stock in the 100s. Everything's cheap. How does one go about investigating this kind of thing?

Probably fakes.

Maybe a scam though.

Try it

Alexa rank 477,812. Traffic Rank in China 27,268.

As Zefan mentioned probably fakes from China.

Also in the about us it says,

"Any product sold via the website and complies with the SAFEBUY regulations for internet trading, dodgyvansshoestore.net offers a 14 days money back guarantee on. as to more information on refunds, cancellations and general terms of sale, please see our Terms and conditions page"

The Terms and conditions page doesn't seem to exist and the English is downright shoddy to say the least. If it was me I'd certainly not be entering any payment details into that site.

Screams of Chinese fakes. Avoid, IMO.

If you have to ask then you already know.

I see no contact information: address, land-line number etc. Just a silly form. Run away.

I wish that was legit, first place in about 2 years I could order some uk14 half cabs.

But that isn't legit, at all. Even the reviews are written by someone who's first language isn't english.

Stick with the real vans uk store

I looked them up, and it looks like they may also be selling fake Barbour jackets (under a different name).
WHOIS information for the domain shows:

Organisation Name.... chen fengnian
Organisation Address. xiamensimingquxianyuelu

I wouldn't risk it.

I love the way every review is 5 stars, and the names of the people leaving the comments look like they have come from a random name generator!
