thank you

@Twin_styles here’s that listing I promised 😊
soappups
@mili927 you’re welcome. I really get upset seeing fakes sold as real. Share or copy any pic. The more this gets out, the better educated anyone interested in docs will be ❤️🤞❤️🤞

xryllex
I’m so confused I bought white jadon boots from journeys that have black eyelets
soappups
@xryllex are you sure they are black? Check the soles for the word BEX . Is it there?
archangelha
@soappups do they always say BEX? mine do not but everything else looks normal on them.
archangelha
haha I found bex on mine, it was harder to see. there is a BE on one of the squares and then an X on another.
soappups
@archangelha glad to hear it! ❤️❤️

Fake???
soappups
@mmarsh921 can you tag me to those ? I can’t see them
greenwoodstyle
Thanks for posting. Just got a pair of fakes off posh, waiting on posh to review my case I hope I get my $$ back. They didn’t post pics of the actual boots so I’m an idiot for not asking. I didn’t think this brand was a popular fake.
avadares
hi! can you check if a pair are not fake for me. do you have depop for i can message you privately the username
soappups
@avadares soapypup 😉
avadares
@soappups thank you so much, i just messaged you!
avadares
hi! sorry to come asking you again but can you check if the doc martens on Andythrifts on depop, i bought them and checked as much as i could and they seem real just wanted to double check with you
soappups
@avadares hello! Could you please make a listing with the pictures, and tag me? That would make it easier for me to look. Thanks!

Someone just listed a pair of white Jadon for $70, and seeing the stitching and other details they seem fake to me. Maybe she’s not aware of it🤷🏻♀️?
soappups
@vanessa_bravo those are not authentic for sure. Last time I told someone , they blocked me, I reported it and they still sold for $100 (was Sinclair style) 🤦♀️
soappups
@vanessa_bravo I just hope people compare to my info if they are not sure. 🤞
catsndocs
@soappups what? How can someone buy them, when they are clearly fake. Those sellers should be banned from selling here.
soappups
@vanessa_bravo I agree , and I had a few friends report too before they sold, but someone still bought them
catsndocs
I am glad you posted this for many potential buyers to read and learn how to spot fake docs. Those white Jadon make a $15 bill look real.
soappups
@vanessa_bravo thank you, I try to share it daily 🤞
alexusss2011
LITERALLY THANK YOU FOR THIS AND THAT COMMENT!
soappups
@lextoslinee I’m glad I can help, there are SO MANY fakes on posh right now, it’s horrible. 😤
alexusss2011
@soappups I’m a big collector of Nike so I usually can spot those but had no idea docs were being replicated 😳 I really appreciate people like u!
alexusss2011
Are the docs on @/martinezq fake or real?
soappups
@lextoslinee 100% fake
nycelebstylist
@soappups Ok last comment. I should've been better at spotting fakes on Posh because I went into a retail store in February 2020 last year and tried on a pair of Dr. Marten's Molly boots and remembered some details about them from when I tried them on. You know Mollys and Jadons are similar. Anyway that's really what clued me in that there were a lot of fakes listed on Posh. But the pandemic has scrambled my brain a little. LOL
soappups
@nycelebstylist hasn’t it done to us all. 🤦♀️ enjoy your Jadon! They look awesome ❤️
nycelebstylist
@soappups Apparently I'm not getting those Jadons because she says they're already sold even though the listing is still active. I swear people on this app.
soappups
@nycelebstylist 🤦♀️ I’m
Sorry
gogopandabear
@cdiedy she has real ones; the jadons you were looking at are really good dupes

There are another pair of Jadon white for $220, definitely fake, as far as I know Jadon boots have never been made in England. No to mention the look of the boots. Check them out!
soappups
@vanessa_bravo nope, that’s one of the signs they are fake 🤦♀️ many are showing up, it’s disgusting 🤬
catsndocs
@soappups I want to leave a comment so potential buyers can save the trouble, but it never works.
soappups
@vanessa_bravo sometimes I’ll message the seller privately in a bundle and tell them nicely, some sellers really don’t know
catsndocs
@soappups that makes sense.
soappups
@jaslio903 here’s some help identifying fakes
modaluxe
I just bought a pair of Jadon's and now I'm afraid they may be fake. Could you help me? Please?
soappups
@modaluxe sure, tag me to them
modaluxe
@soappups Thank you. I really appreciate it.
modaluxe
@soappups You just made my day. I was so afraid because I so wanted them. Thank you for helping me out. You rock! :)
soappups
@modaluxe you’re welcome, and that’s a great price too!!
modaluxe
@soappups I guess that's what made me nervous. Couldn't believe I got that lucky. :)
modaluxe
@soappups I guess I got happy too fast. Seller cancelled the purchase. So disappointing.
soappups
@modaluxe ugh, prob raised the price , I’m sorry. I’ll keep my eyes open for you 🤞🤞🤞
modaluxe
@soappups Thank you. I figured that’s what it was but still rude. I would never do that to a buyer after accepting their offer. 😞
arlenemorrissey
I purchased a pair of white Jadons and the eyelets are black, but everything else seems fine including the word "BEX," on the sole.
arlenemorrissey
Is "BEX," supposed to be on the inside or outside of sole?
soappups
@arlenemorrissey interesting, could you make a listing “not for sale” so I could see them? Please. I just try to help with as much info as I can for others.
soappups
@arlenemorrissey it’s embedded inside. There’s a picture in this listing to show it, I tried to make it as clear as I could

This is such a great and informative post!! Thank you for going through all the work to help other Poshers. I'm looking to buy my first pair of Doc Martens on PM and had no idea I needed to be on the lookout for fakes! Much gratitude to you!
soappups
@tashharper you’re welcome! If you see a pair you are not sure about, let me know, I’ll tell you. I’m not really selling docs anymore, just collecting 😁❤️ but I’m always happy to help others for sure!

oddballloulou
@greenwoodstyle I think mine are fake too. Looking at the pix again and then the ones I got…. They don’t match.
greenwoodstyle
@oddballloulou Open a case. I was able to return the boots I purchased. It’s possible the seller has no idea they are not authentic but posh can talk a look and will let you return if they are not.
soappups
@oddballloulou if you make a listing “not for sale” and tag me, I’ll be able to tell. Also, if you have a dm store near you they can verify it

itsmichelleg66
Hello! Can you help me tell of the dr. Martens I listed on my page are fake? I recently purchased on posh and I only have about a day to open a case 😬
soappups
@itsmichelleg66 hello! And yes they are authentic! “10072” is an older boot. From what I’ve read it’s “milled” leather which means it’s sorta a cross between “patent “ and “smooth”. It’s a really nice boot IMO
soappups
@itsmichelleg66 and the added bonus is you have the original box for it. Keep that with the boots. ❤️❤️
itsmichelleg66
@soappups I sure hope you’re right! should it feel so plasticy? It doesn’t feel like leather and I own different dr marten boots and these feel quite cheap. The soles also feel light and the insoles are a little sloppy - IMO. let me share some more photos. I just don’t want to open a case if I’m wrong, and I definitely don’t want to keep them if they’re not authentic, let alone not leather 😬
soappups
@itsmichelleg66 and...the box has “us” on the side. If they had Chinese letters or “hk” on it, then I wouldn’t be so sure. But I am, your boots are 100% authentic
soappups
@itsmichelleg66 sure! Add more pics, I’ll check them out. But I’m pretty sure they are authentic. Look on the outside of the tongue (on side of the tongue) there might be the word “milled” stamped on it.
soappups
@itsmichelleg66 the yellow stitching is correct, the stitching that comes down by the laces is correct. The bottom of the boot looks good. Fakes can’t copy the yellow stitching perfectly. Compare it to my samples. You’ll see
soappups
@itsmichelleg66 and they feel strange because they are “milled”‘leather. It’s discontinued, search “dr martens 10072” online and you should see more info to prove they are authentic. I have no doubt about them. I’ve seen many. If I wasn’t sure, I’d say that. But I am sure they are real 😁😊
knchoi
Uptown_style has a pair of Jadons in a 7 that I was going to buy - could you take a look for me? Thank you so much!
soappups
@knchoi real 😁
1stchimera
I’m interested in a white pair of white high top boots listed for $200 now on Posh. I can’t send a pic but would like your opinion.
1stchimera
Surresale is the seller of the white Docs I’m interested in.
soappups
@1stchimera I think they look very good 😁👍
1stchimera
Thanks I saw the black eyes and was worried. I saw your post about eyes being silver?? So ok I’ll bite what is a JADON?
soappups
@1stchimera Jadon is the platform docs. The ones you like are made in England, and last longer for sure 😁 better quality
1stchimera
Thanks hun!!!
soappups
@1stchimera you’re welcome 😊
darden56
@soappups This is so nice of you to do this!!! It’s hard to believe that there are people out there who DONT give a damn if they rip you off. It’s all about the green. What happened to integrity?? Sandy
soappups
@darden56 it’s all over, every platform has greedy pos people that do it on purpose. Some got scammed themselves and when I tell them, they remove it, others have attacked me. 🤦♀️😟
darden56
@soappups yes I know it’s out there, it just blows my mind. Greedy SOB’s.
1stchimera
Ok I’m going to bug you again. Amberlbay has a pair of 90s? Docs. They have a black sole. Sooooo are they real??
1stchimera
@soappups oh btw, I did buy them. Great price as the seller accepted by offer. I can’t wait for them!!! Thanks so very much
soappups
@1stchimera lol, sure but can you please tag me in the listing , it makes it easier to find
1stchimera
Not sure how to do that but I’ll find out lol
1stchimera
https://posh.mk/QesCpw8q9ib. Here’s the link hun. I’m still trying to figure out how to tag. Lol
soappups
@1stchimera they are authentic for sure, just older. Price is kinda high. But that’s up to you 😊

hannahbelleliza
hi, I just bought a pair of Jadons off of here and now I'm thinking they are fake could you help me? https://poshmark.com/listing/Dr-Marten-Jadon-8-Eye-Platform-Boots-Size-8-155-61291480ed2f3f286486a3ec the seller is stylishsales
soappups
@hannahbelleliza hi, those are authentic, but there’s a reason they don’t show the women’s size “8”. These are men’s sizing. For women’s, they are best for 8.5 for sure. Docs made in LAO PDR always run half size big. They are better made IMO. I have a pair of normal 1460s made there and they are my most worn black pair.
soappups
@hannahbelleliza the ones you bought are also the newest type, more shiny like patent, dm recently changed it, for Jadon and also for Sinclair’s
hannahbelleliza
@soappups oh my goodness thank you! I'm so glad!!! you're a life saver I was going to be worrying about it still they got here lol
soappups
@hannahbelleliza no need to worry, they are real docs. 😁😁 they should be very comfortable, LAO PDR always are. ❤️❤️
astravictoria
Recently saw a bunch of poorly made fake rainbow stitch docs.. reported them but they still sold 😩
astravictoria
what’s a way I could show you a pair to see if authentic?? I asked for more angles of the Jadon and they said that’s all they have which is a red flag
ree_marie
@greenwoodstyle I think I just w
made the same mistake and got a pair of fakes... any tips when I write my review/ask for my return?
soappups
@astravictoria if it’s in posh you can tag me by commenting the @ symbol and my name after it (no spaces) and I’ll take a look 😊
soappups
@ree_marie hi, if I can see them, I can tell you how to get your money back, don’t accept the order if its in posh
greenwoodstyle
@ree_marie Yes just like the other posher said don’t accept your order. Post photos of what you received in the claim and posh will allow you to return if they are fakes
ree_marie
@soappups I've just tagged you in a listing I created to show you. really appreciate your generosity in looking. I haven't accepted the order from PM.
ree_marie
@greenwoodstyle thank you!
soappups
@astravictoria if you don’t want to tag me, snapshot a few pics of what you can see and make a listing and tag me (price it high and say not for sale) shouldn’t be a problem 😁 many do it that way to show me)
jasphi123
Hi, can you verify some docs for me?
soappups
@jasphi123 sure! Either tag me in the listing or make a listing with the pics in it for me to check out. 😊
jasphi123
I posted it!
soappups
@jasphi123 💯 authentic 😁😉
jasphi123
@soappups Thank you!!
kim_geee
Hi there, I was talking to you previously about the Leona boot in bone..I ended up finding a pair but wanted to see if you have a recommendation for a cleaner that won’t discolor the leather? I have a faint spot on it from a spilled drink and haven’t touched it yet—I’m afraid to discolor the leather further. Thanks!
huntermarisa77
I wish I had seen these before I was duped last week. I was going to resale them when I noticed they were fake. The sole was wrong,, they were light and the stitching was terrible. Also the shoe size was not on the inside of shoe. The seller never even apologized or offered a refund.
soappups
@huntermarisa77 I’m so sorry, the amount of those popping up in here is getting out of control. I try to share this many times a week to help new buyers. If you see a pair you are unsure Of, tag me or make a listing with their pics for me to check and I’ll give you my honest opinion
huntermarisa77
@soappups thank you so much. I told the posher I was going to sell these to about you. I told her I couldn’t send them to her because I noticed they were fake. Fortunately Poshmark refunded me after I sent the pics of the fakes I was sold. I’m just glad I noticed the discrepancies before I resold them. These people should be ashamed of themselves. It’s so wrong.
soappups
@huntermarisa77 it happens in every app like this, and it’s getting worse. It’s good to know you got your $ back! Many are not so lucky 😟😫
huntermarisa77
@soappups thanks again. I googled how to spot fakes and it lead me to you. Have a great weekend.
soappups
@huntermarisa77 oh wow! I didn’t know it did that from google! That’s awesome!

upnxt_yurcloset
Hello 😊 I just bought two pairs on posh. I’m also sure they are real, but can you help me make sure? Can I share them to you or can I send u pictures of them since I now have them? Thank you in advance 😊
soappups
@upnxt_yurcloset sure you can share them to me. 😊
upnxt_yurcloset
@soappups just tagged you 😊 it’s actually 3 pairs. I fell into the brand’a hands lol hopefully I made smart choices with these. Thank you for your time in checking this!
soappups
@upnxt_yurcloset both are 💯 authentic imo. And both in excellent “close to new” condition 😁
upnxt_yurcloset
@soappups thank you so much!! 😊😊 glad I found you! Did you get a chance to see the 3rd pair? Those are definitely more worn in.
soappups
@upnxt_yurcloset just now, yes they are authentic 😁 sorry I’m at the airport picking up a friend 😊
upnxt_yurcloset
@soappups no problem, thank you again!! Have a great rest of your day.

@chuntifabulous this is helpful too 😁

donnakay0812
thank you.. what size do you buy if you wear a 7.5 women.. a 7 or 8?
soappups
@donnakay0812 depends on a few things. Which style? Jadon/Sinclair imo more tts. (For the most part 🤦♀️) Leona runs large
donnakay0812
@soappups .. Jadon stack heel
ruraltag
I just tagged you in a pair I purchased. I would like to confirm the authenticity, if possible. Any help is appreciated!

WOW! you are amazing for taking the time to let others know how to not be scammed, that's awesome! I would love how to spot fake Hello Kitty Doc's, I just bought a pair for my daughter and would to make sure they are real. Thanks a bunch!
soappups
@hosmanemily please look in my closet, I have a listing for those too . Just look at “shared” . You should see it 🤞
lblack13
Thanks for letting me know about this. Maybe mine are actually real..going to look them over again. 🙂
soappups
@lblack13 you’re welcome. I’ve handled over 600 pairs. Yours look good, the scuffing comes off. I think think yours are worth more. 75-90 😁
soappups
@lblack13 fakes have thin yellow stitching. And soles are all transparent, I’m 99% sure yours are authentic. 😁
rioammari
@soappups hi! I recently bought a pair of white platform chelseas. I have the Arcadia red version already. The soles on the white ones however are pitch black. Did they change that for this pair? Also the heel loop font is different. Wondering if they changed that too? I’ll post the photos on my page right now. Thanks!
peachpeonyt
Great info, thanks for sharing with us 👍🏻🖤
soappups
@edgarg hello. Yes, those are authentic. The “UK5” pair BUT.. those are mens sizing. Which means will fit a womens 7.5 more. You can tell by the size boxes. There is a 6 in the mens “box” but the womens “box” is empty. If both “boxes” have a number then it’s “unisex” size. If just the womens “box” has a number then it’s womens sizing.
soappups
@edgarg womens sizing is more narrow, mens sizing is wider by the toe box
soappups
@edgarg the “JY” is a code for Journeys store. (I recently learned that because my Devon’s i sold have it on them and I needed to know why 🤣)
sjsanchezjess
Hello! I was wondering if you can help me find out if some docs are authentic. I saw your listing and I don’t see the BEX on the shoes but everything else looks fine
They are by @ (melanie210) I made an offer but wanted to check
sjsanchezjess
I also noticed the “made in” is over a white label rather than on the actual leather, are they also made like this?
soappups
@sjsanchezjess hi, yes they are real, 😁
sjsanchezjess
@soappups awesome! Thanks so much for helping me out!! :)
soappups
@sjsanchezjess anytime 😊😊
cwozny13
hello! I am making a listing right now for you to view, of I am now suspecting fake jadons from amazon. the bottom seems way more all black(& no bex) than my 1460s(from dsw-that I can see letters(dml)) in .. anyways no letters in the jadons, can you let me know? I can still return them luckily, which I'm going to either way now I think. but I'd love to hear your opinion!
also, do all or any docs still come with a pair of extra (yellow)laces?
TIA!!🖤💛
soappups
@cwozny13 I believe all new docs come with them, off Amazon, I think it should say “dr martens”‘as the store?
cwozny13
@soappups it does say visit the dr. martens store at the top but it says sold by shopbop fulfilled by amazon. I made a listing in my closet if u have time to check it out (or want to use any of the pics)
cwozny13
@soappups one red flag about the listing is it only has 1 picture of the boot
143katie
THANK YOU FOR THIS. So glad I found this in good£e.
So ONLY the vegan jadon have a solid black sole. No other platform boots have a solid black sole??
143katie
Just made a listing on my page. Please help me out. I don’t think they are legit. They are listed for 125$ free shipping. The bottom are what really confused me. Thanks for your time, if you can take a look for me. 😊
soappups
@143katie those both are authentic, the solid black is okay, those are not Jadon . The stitching is another way to easily tell fake.
143katie
@soappups ohhh ok thank you for letting me know. Appreciate it sooo much.
thriftydrifter
@soappups I just purchased a pair of docs on Poshmark and I’m not sure if they are real or fake. Could I get your help authenticating. I will post photos of them on my Poshmark but listed as not for sale. Thank you!
soappups
@thriftydrifter okay, tag me when you get them listed and I’ll take a look 😁
vanessairene21
I just bought some 1460 smooth docs on this app an hour ago 😔 what are some key giveaways to tell if they’re real, some of the photos are hard to tell a difference.
soappups
@vanessairene21 make a listing with the pics and tag me or tag me to the sold listing and I’ll take a look if you want.
soappups
@vanessairene21 I’ve added comparisons in this listing to help, mostly the stitching, and the size info , how it’s displayed
alexiespinosa
Hi!! Can you please tell me if these jadons I bought are real or fake? I posted pics on my account!
alexiespinosa
the shoes smell weird like smoke or something I can’t put my finger on and the zipper doesn’t match up with the zipper I see from the pictures on the Dr. Martens website. They say “bex” on the bottom but the soles are not orange and super transparent like they are on the website
laposherdeals
Thanks for posting this! I think I bought real ones!
soappups
@laposherdeals if you want, you can tag me or make a listing with pics and I’ll let you know. I don’t mind helping if your unsure
laposherdeals
@soappups thank you! I will post today!
laposherdeals
@soappups hi! Posted today and tagged you. Let me know your thoughts.
shemhazai
Hi, how can I message you a link to a pair of Docs to check if they are fake? I'd really appreciate any help, thanks!
soappups
@shemhazai hi, you can either tag me in it, make a new listing that’s “not for sale” to show me or can text me, which ever your comfortable with 😁
shemhazai
Thank you, just tagged you, it was the stitching in particular that made me think they might be a knock-off.
soappups
@shemhazai they are nice, MIE docs (made in England) always have a little uneven stitching. They are steeltoe, womens 8. I recommend getting insoles, the “comfort insoles “ from dm site are on sale now too. I use them in almost all my pairs (Sinclair’s, Jadon, hell, heaven & coralia) they help a ton, without them they’d be too uncomfortable to wear for sure (if the insoles are too thick, get “classic insoles” they are thinner and still do a great job keeping your feet from wanting to kill you.
shemhazai
@soappups Thank you so much!
soappups
@shemhazai you’re welcome anytime! 😁😊
soappups
@shemhazai tbh the price is abit high, maybe because posh takes 20% or just a greedy reseller. Good will also carries docs on their sites. Much much cheaper. 😉
shemhazai
@soappups Thank you for that tip, too!

Hello! I’ve found this post very helpful in identifying previous pairs of docs from sellers. I was wondering if I could shoot you a message about a pair I’m interested in, and if you could tell if they are real or fake?
soappups
@dillardgurl sure! Either you can tag me in the listing, or make your own with the pics and put it “not for sale” and tag me in that
dillardgurl
@soappups Will do! Thank you so much.
soappups
@dillardgurl that listing just disappeared
dillardgurl
@soappups As in, you can’t see it? I’ll try posting it again, may be my error.
soappups
@dillardgurl tag me in the listing and I’ll reply here , not in comments of the person selling them 😁
soappups
@dillardgurl seems like your having problems listing. You can send the link to me if you want here 520582 7879.
soappups
@dillardgurl it still says “not found” but I see you did make 2 listings. Posh is removing them for some reason. I’m not sure why
dillardgurl
@soappups Hm, that’s so weird. I’ll see if I can find a solution on google.
soappups
@dillardgurl text me if your comfortable, number is above. You can send the link to them or pics to me
dillardgurl
@soappups Alright, I will text you.
ninirific
@soappups Hi there! I just received a pair of DMs I purchased on another site and would love your feedback on their authenticity. Is there any way I can get the pics to you?
soappups
@ninirific sure. Text? 520 582 7879
seaaashelby
Hi there!!! I just posted a pair of Jadons I just ordered from another app and am hoping you wouldn’t mind looking at them for me for authenticity. Thank you for all you do and for being honest and helpful with this problem for so many people.
soappups
@seaaashelby thank you! 😁❤️ having you say makes it all worth it. I appreciate that!
romanos
Curious about a pair I just bought - it's been awhile since I've had docs and coming across your page has me second guessing 😂 How can I get the pics to you?
soappups
@romanos hi, you can either make a listing with pics, just price it high and say it’s for viewing only. Or can text them to my cell. 520–582-7879. Whichever you’re comfortable with 😁
erinlescinsky
Hey! I am wondering if a pair of Jadons are authentic or not? Here is the listing- https://posh.mk/icqTVb9Fxqb
Thank you so so much!!
soappups
@erinlescinsky hi, i can’t copy that, (on my phone) you can either tag me in the listing, or make one and list it “not for sale” with the pics of them. 😉
erinlescinsky
@soappups Oops sorry! Just tagged you in it!!
soappups
@erinlescinsky thanks! They are authentic 😁😁❤️
erinlescinsky
@soappups thank you so much! Unfortunately they just sold ah, would you mind checking the pair I just tagged you in?
soappups
@erinlescinsky Aw! I’m sorry. That was a great price, but also because they were 10eye. And yes, that other pair is also authentic 😁
galaxyfinds
Hi, is there still a dr martens scammers account? I tried to find it but nothing came up. I have a pair that I suspect are fakes but I wanna make sure. Thanks
soappups
@galaxyfinds if you tag me in the listing , or copy pics and make your own, I’ll check them out for you. 😉
galaxyfinds
@soappups I don't want to list them because I don't wanna get reported for trying to sell fakes...
soappups
@galaxyfinds list as “not for sale” so I can see them. If you want. Otherwise , idk what to tell you, if I suggest anything outside of here, I get flagged 🤦♀️
galaxyfinds
@soappups I'll list the pics and tag you, thanks!
chocopie03
Hi, i was wondering if you could check out donuts001’s doc listing on dep0p? They’re seIIing it at such a discounted price, i cant tell if it’s too good to be true. Thanks so much!
soappups
@chocopie03 hi, if the account is new or has little or no sales, prob is a scam. I don’t know how to look up names there. You can send it to me if you like 5295827879. I don’t mind checking it for you
soappups
@chocopie03 oh I just figured it out lol. They have one pair for 54? That seems like a more fair price than most I see here lately. Sales are slow and resellers lost their minds with ridiculous prices here imo
chocopie03
@soappups thank you so so much for letting me know!
soappups
@chocopie03 you’re welcome. 😁😁
tiffbest00
Thank you so much for this! I was a collector 25 years ago and just got back into them. There’s so much out there now that is even real but looks fake. I’d like to tag you in one or two for your input if you don’t mind.
soappups
@tiffbest00 anytime! I don’t mind at all. (I’m awake atm cuz my dog needed to go out, going back to bed 🤣) bit pairs are a really good deal, if your closer to a womens 6 don’t get the 1460s , they will be too tight . Those never run big imo , that other pair, the tall ones, she says it but maybe ask for measurements
tiffbest00
@soappups greatly appreciated! Also that was the exact same reason I was up at 3am 😂
tiffbest00
@soappups Did you ever think the Trulia style shoe with the pointed toe ran big? I can only find uk 4 which is always huge on me since I’m a 5.5
soappups
@tiffbest00 I never went back to bed, I’m a zombie lol. As for the shoe size, I don’t know, I only really collect and sold boots, my favs atm are the Jadon and Sinclair. I find them very true to to size. If they feel big, it’s too much room around feet inside, add an insole (dm comfort insole) and that fixes the problem perfectly
soappups
@tiffbest00 if you downsize you’re toes will touch the end and that will make them super uncomfortable
tiffbest00
@soappups all of mine are from when I was in high school (over 20 years ago 🤦🏻♀️) and are UK 4 and are too big. Everything I’ve bought within the last year or 2 have been 3s and fit perfect except for the oxfords…yet the 4s were too big 🙄
gigiii4728
@soappups just bought a pair of 1461 SMOOTH LEATHER PLATFORM SHOES and now I'm afraid they may be fake. Could you
help me? Please?
soappups
@gigiii4728 yes, tag me in the listing and I’ll tell you here
cyndeecdesigns
I just found this listing. I have a pair of vintage boots that say Dr. Martens and am pretty sure they are very real. Also very vintage. Since other people have asked, I am hoping you will look at them for me. I will tag you in my listing. I sure don't want to offer something that is not real
soappups
@clutterclear Good morning, yes, those are real, but, they are very worn, the soles are more than 50% imo, Which will make them very uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. I see there was an insole added & removed, by the pattern inside.
soappups
@clutterclear those are worth more like 30$. Best way to see what I mean about the sole is look at the bottoms of any BEX and it will be highly noticeable for both the heel and the front part of sole
cyndeecdesigns
I think you mean NOT worth more than $30 .. I will change my price...someone will like them
soappups
@clutterclear oh they are yours? I’d start them at 50 and that way you can offer deals when you get likers
soappups
@clutterclear inside the boot, half way down, should be a number. That will be UK size. Add one for mens and 2 for womens. Like UK5 is a womens 7
cyndeecdesigns
@soappups Yes Mam they were my husbands and he wore them a long time. I don't know about the insole. There was a foot pad that had been added and I took it out because it was old. That is when I noticed the name and really started looking. Thank you for your info because the last thing I want to do is misrepresent anything I am selling.
cyndeecdesigns
@Soappups somehow I hit the wrong button and reported a comment. I did not mean to do that.
cyndeecdesigns
@soappups there is a number 9 on the insole. I show measurements on the soles of all my listed shoes because sizes always seem to be so different.
soappups
@clutterclear 🤣🤣 it’s fine, I’ve been reported before, most just get removed when I call out fakes, other items I’ve spoken without a filter and those I got warnings for. Lol Let me know when you get them listed, I’ll share them to my followers 😁😁😉❤️
cyndeecdesigns
@soappups I have revised them and added a comment about the condition.
cyndeecdesigns
@soappups I shared it to you. I am learning all the time how to do things! Thank you so much for what you do! I want to be successful so I want to do things right and never, ever misrepresent anything
soappups
@clutterclear you’re very sweet! If you ever wonder about how to price, look up “just added” and “sold” listings to see the most recent prices. That helps a ton. Resellers look for things priced too cheap, then lowball even more, then resell at 3x-5x as much. I understand profit, I just hate greed, and dishonesty. Selling is harder now than ever. That’s why I don’t do it much anymore. And I use M, cheaper fees, and have options for cheaper shipping rates. (Best for items under 2lbs) 😊
cyndeecdesigns
@soappups I use both as well. I am reselling bc I am retired and been to clear clutter as well as generate extra $$.. so I am really trying
soappups
@clutterclear there are some very informative groups in fakebook for resellers, thrifters. For posh and for m and others. I highly recommend them, also updates on those for how scammers work. Seems to be getting worse lately. Sucks
daisyalondra_
Hello, I’m wondering if you can please tell me if the Sinclair’s on (laceygattis) are real? I purchased them but the soles are throwing me off. Thank you ahead of time 😭
soappups
@daisyalondra_ hello, those, I’m sorry to say are 100% fake. ☹️☹️ if she won’t refund you, you can get confirmation from drmartens through email to prove they are fakes. I’m so sorry
daisyalondra_
@soappups thank you so much!! Luckily I just purchased them today so I’m gonna just gonna through the posh mark policy and hope for the best. Appreciate your help 😭💓
soappups
@daisyalondra_ maybe ask the seller first? Some really don’t know, she sells many shoes, so it could be an honest mistake. If she doesn’t believe you, tag her in my fake post, she might just go ahead and refund you so she doesn’t get in trouble with posh for selling them
daisyalondra_
@soappups yes I messaged them first and I’m hoping that they will cancel. It might be an honest mistake but I also think the Jadon’s on that page that they sold are fake as well.
soappups
@daisyalondra_ I’m taking to her on the listing, letting her know, she might change her mind after she sees it. 🤞🤞
soappups
@daisyalondra_ she apologized for it, I hope she’ll refund you. 🤞
daisyalondra_
@soappups she did 🙂 thank you so much for all your help! 🥲
soappups
@daisyalondra_ oh good! That’s great news! I’m glad I could help. 😁
mjklein9
Thank you for this post! I have a pair of T-strap Mary Janes that I would love your opinion on. Would you mind if I send you a picture of them? I’m afraid to sell them before I verify if they are real or not. Thank you!
soappups
@mjklein9 sure, 520582 7879
mjklein9
@soappups thank you! Just sent the pics.
catsmeowleather
Wow, I love this. It’s hard to find articles that have visual aids of actual fakes.
soappups
@leathernthrift you’re welcome. I had the same problem too, that’s why I made this. ☺️☺️
catsmeowleather
@soappups I spent all morning taking photos of a pair I sourced that was fake. I’m sad but I’m more knowledgeable now. I want to thank you again.
christinacar97
Can you help me see if my docs are fake?
soappups
@christinacar97 sure, scroll up on pics and you can text them, or make a listing in here and please tag me. (I’m on my phone, I can’t c/p links) and I’ll check them out 😁
gigiii4728
@soappups just bought a pair of
Dr. Martens Chelsea boots
and now I'm afraid they may be fake. Could you
help me? Please?
jmfirefly6
How can you tell if vintage Dr. Martens are fake? I recently bought a pair of vintage Mary Jane’s but I don’t know if they are authentic.
soappups
@jmfirefly6 yes I can, please make a listing, not for sale. And tag me in it. I can’t copy links. I’m using my phone , I’ll be happy to help you. 😁
jmfirefly6
@soappups done!
soappups
@jmfirefly6 if you have more RR jeans. Prices then higher. They sell quickly for more 😉
jmfirefly6
@soappups The shoes I asked you about had a solid black sole. Also, Posh ruled in my favor and the seller was mad which is why he commented on my listing. He was getting nasty in the comments so I deleted the listing and reported and blocked him. I never claimed to be an expert but when I started questioning the authenticity, he just got nasty. Sorry for dragging you into it and I appreciate your insight.
soappups
@jmfirefly6 ohhhh! Don’t worry, it’s fine. If you saw the arguments I’ve been in, this one is PG rated. 🤣 I’m glad you got your $ back. Stay away from older docs, they never are comfortable. Imo. I’ll argue all day if he wants to. You’re the buyer, if you don’t feel comfortable with your purchase. I think it should be returned . 😉
jmfirefly6
@soappups I really don’t like arguing on the internet, but I also can’t afford to pay for shoes I don’t want. I bought some newer Mary Jane Docs because I have wanted a pair forever! Thanks again!
soappups
@jmfirefly6 you’re welcome. And newer are better, more comfortable, not shaped to someone else’s foot. What was his name? I never saw anything lol
jmfirefly6
@soappups it was something like “just a distraction” but most was in the communication on the purchase and not (thankfully) on my public posts. He only commented on the post with the shoes where I was asking you what you thought.
juliettes12
Hi, would you be able to tell me if a pair of rometty boots are fake or real?how can I send you pictures ?
smilegenuinely
@soappups thank you so much for your tips, it helps me identify some fake docs on posh and other platform
helicine
hey! wondering if you might be able to help me figure out if a pair i just bought are fakes?
soappups
@helicine sure, make a post, and please tag me in it
helicine
@soappups i actually just looked at them more closely and i’m like 99.9% sure they’re fake lol. thanks for this post though - so helpful!
abril2019
Hello fellow Poshmark friend 😃 I’d like to see if you wouldn’t mind taking a look at a pair of Dr. Marten boots for me that I purchased, (not from this platform, a relative though) I have never seen them before, I’m not able to find anywhere else, seller said rare but that’s not why I purchased them. Very curious about them, let me know what you think ☺️ I’ll post in my closet if you agree to check them out
soappups
@abril2019 of course I’ll check them out! You got my curiosity big time! 😊😁
abril2019
@soappups Flew right here as soon as I heard my notification 📣 I’ll let you know as soon as I post!! BRB! Thanks!!
abril2019
@soappups Hi, I have listed ☺️
soappups
@abril2019 I’ve never seen them before either. “12390” is the tag number. Older docs don’t have a style name, they are super cool imo! And definitely not easily found for sale
abril2019
@soappups so do you suspect they are fake then?
abril2019
@soappups I didn’t know that number either close but not that one
soappups
@abril2019 they look authentic to me. 😊
abril2019
@soappups Oh wow, oof, thank you, I came so close to doubting myself on this one for a moment. The only reason I thought they were is the stitching. That’s all. I searched high and low, and believe it or not that’s how I found you! So i really appreciate your insight on these. Thank you so much for your time!! 🫶🏻
odaatcathy
Thank you very much for this...I just bought a pair at a 2nd hand store...what do the labels inside look like? I found BEX on the soles but more like underneath the surface. The really strange thing is on the right boot it's Dr. Martens and on the left boot it's Dr. Marten. Would you kindly take a look for me if I post them?
odaatcathy
I posted pics and tagged you, whenever you have the time, please let me know...these are weird. Everything in me, says they're authentic, but I'm doubting now...
haleighvb15
Anyway I could send you pictures to be sure I’m not buying fake Jason’s??
meadorl
https://poshmark.com/listing/Gently-used-Dr-Martens-Safety-Shoe-6462d5648634cb371dd7c8d3
soappups
@meadorl can you tag me? I can’t copy /paste comments
soappups
@meadorl on my phone is why
meadorl
@soappups they sold, so it doesn't matter anymore. Thanks
soappups
@meadorl I see the pair you just shared and they are not sold. Also. They are authentic
soappups
@meadorl the pair for $45. I think those are juniors size. (Because of the zipper sides.) which means not as durable, and will run larger in size. I’m not entirely sure on “juniors size” but I’ve not seen them with zippers. Ask to see the “size tag” and if there is a “J” after the style number, then I’m correct. Like this “1460J”
sherrykao
Hi there, I've been looking to buy a pair of 1461 Bex oxfords, found a listing on posh by emitch115 and wondering if they're legit
soappups
@sherrykao 100% authentic 😁❤️
soappups
@audreykwebb see here
tinker000
Just bought a couple pairs now I’m worried I got a fake
soappups
@tinker000 make a listing and mark it “not for sale” and tag me and I’ll come check them out . Add pics of the size part on the tongue, the soles , and side views. As clear as you can.
tinker000
@soappups thank you I will
tinker000
First time I have listed so how do you tag I have 2 pairs
tinker000
Ok I listed and sent I think
tinker000
https://posh.mk/qoVFz8FDNHb
Just bought these could you check them out and those other 2 on my listing thanks so much
soappups
@tinker000 yes those are authentic, the 3rd pair I can’t see because I only use my phone and can’t use the link you added. To tag me, you can go to the listing and comment the “@“ then my username and I’ll see that. Or pictures
tinker000
@soappups did you get it?
tinker000
I guess one of things I was worried about silver pair on the loop the B looks like an 8 and the word soles the A starts above the C instead of the I
soappups
@tinker000 they look authentic, dr martens quality has gone down since they outscored to China and other countries. If you find any made in “LAOS” or “LAO PDR” those I find to be really really good. Thicker leather, better stitching, and more comfortable footbed.
soappups
@tinker000 and that black/wht pair. Those are awesome! Gorgeous boot and super soft leather. I love those, and yes, authentic 💯
tinker000
@soappups Thank you so much I really appreciate it just don’t know sometimes everything looks fake lol
soappups
@tinker000 I get it. Trust me. I’ve handled over 550 pairs in 18 months. I did extensive research to figure out how to tell fakes. As you can see from all the messages above yours. I’ve helped many, I miss selling docs. But I own a hobby store now and that takes up all my time. Too bad you didn’t wear a 7. I have to sell all mine as I don’t fit in them anymore. I have some very cool pairs. Sucks to let them go
tinker000
@soappups actually I can they feel better they just slip a little in back the ones I have. Ow are a 6 I had to stretch out I’ve tried on the unisex 6/5 and those fit with a little slippage I bought some heel pads different kinds haven’t tried yet
tinker000
@soappups can you shoot me a pic of some of them thanks
soappups
@tinker000 I can make a listing with all of them for you to see. I’m in bed still. We didn’t get home till 230am. It was our late night at work. I’ll get those together after breakfast and let you know, I’ll tag you. The ones I have are heaven, hell, vintage blue Jadon. Orange MIE, yellow. Portland rose. Year of the dog.
tinker000
ok thanks again for your help
soappups
@tinker000 sorry I haven’t gotten to it yet. My one betta fish died, had to go to the to store. The tank that I ordered came today. Wasn’t what I expected. So I had to move things around. I have 3 females and 3 males and needed to move them around and get a few smaller tanks ready for them, I’m not ignoring you. I just have life stuff to do atm. I will let you know when I get them up.
tinker000
@soappups your fine sweetie I’m sorry no rush
tinker000
There are so many out there with AW004 Tailand and Vietnam how can that be so bottom left is country code what is bottom right box mean thanks
tinker000
Hey if you don’t mind I was looking for these and I bought the boots look a little different from each other one is higher, one tongue is thicker, and even leather feels a little different, stitching looks off too
tinker000
If you get a chance could you take a look at my closet thanks again so much
soappups
@tinker000 they are not perfect, most aren’t. It’s leather. Look at the stitching, that’s one of the , if not the hardest part to try to mimic.
soappups
@tinker000 and sometimes it’s takes me a few days to get back to answer you. I own a business now and don’t have the time to keep checking this. I have a lot going on. Please don’t take my advice or kindness for granted. You seem abit rude.
tinker000
@soappups I’m so sorry I never meant to be my apologies
doggystylzby6
In addition, the fake Jadons or any fake Docs don't have stitching along the outside of the eyelets, they're flimsy and rubbery. I've been wearing Doc's since the early 80s. I still have my first pair (legit Oxblood 10 eyes) and they're VERY different and would be assumed to be fakes because the tags are printed not stitched ICO. There are so many styles it's hard to spot a fake these days, they've gotten so good. I love that you're taking one for the team. Thank you
doggystylzby6
@greenwoodstyle Did they help you out? I hate that for you. I got fakes too but from another site. So sorry that happened to you, also look to see if there is stitching along the outside of the eyelets. That's another way. I'm curious about whether they helped you.
