It's Schuh they are a well known and well regarded company who have an ability to order and guarantee business that would see them lambasted if they resorted to fakes.

I'd posit they are genuine, and that the cyclical nature of fashion means lots of sales and 18months of near lockdown means lots of old stock.

The Schuh price is €361.

OP posted a link to another site with a cheaper price, and was asking about that one.

I'm only seeing the Schuh link, no other link displaying for me?

The site has no physical address, no email or contact number. It would raise a red (no pun intended) flag for me.

Edit: the site appears to have been registered in Singapore, per whois lookup of the domain name.

the domain was only registered less than 2 months ago and it is registered in a different state to the genuine red wings shoes site. They have also copy and pasted the Shipping & returns page from a UK site as it references UK legislation. A definite scam.

Total scam. Even without looking into the site, the price is way off. Golden rule applies, if it looks to good be be true…
