    BS meter swinging wildly on the poor design, lack of information on all tabs, multiple currencies on a UK site etc.

    That's also backed up here and here.

    Absolutely nothing to suggest its real. Avoid.

    common trick is to use a domain that used to be something else and use its registration details to make it look domestic. In this case, it was actually a mobile DJ: http://web.archive.org/web/20100828025352/http://www.coastydisco.co.uk/

    Current season branded trainers are never discounted that much either.

    The discounts on all the mens runners seem to be either 52% or 53%. As are the ballerina shoes. Despite them being different brands and different styles which would usually have different markups and therefore different reductions in price possible.

    I am amazed at how little effort these scammers put in.

    There are plenty more tell tale signs but its so obviously a scam its not worth bothering with. There was talk of having a sticky with a checklist of things to look for.

    It appears legit to me, but I would wait for 1 or 2 more confirmations from other people, especially as the stuff on it is so expensive.

    There is also a fashion forum where people are likely listing other legit online shops. I see the top "sticky" thread is about recent purchases.

    Geographic phone number. Actual physical shops listed. Website registered 2004 and was flogging shoes in 2005. Safe I'd say.
