Just bought some work shoes at Aeon. Is it me, or did I just bought some fake shoes for Rm469?

Mildly interesting

This Polo Polo you find in AEON is obviously not Ralph Lauren.

RM 469 is ridiculously expensive.

You should be able to get decent work office shoes for around RM 150-250 from Aeon

You can get decent work shoes from Bata - I think they go for about RM 80-100 and they last for a while (source: my Dad)

Go look at Tomaz. Local and exclusive looking but cheap with superb quality. Switched to Tomaz about 5 years? Or less? Bought a pair under 200 and lasts more than a year. Never went to Bata anymore (The longest I wore with Bata with no damage is about half a year)

Looks like a real shoe to me..

How is it fake, is it actually a slipper?

Siganture and Signature.

Unsure how they made a spelling mistake. Must be the machine sewing the design or I bought a fake!

You bought a fake for sure. The machine was set to stamp that logo. Polo is a massive company that wouldn't be making typos.

But it still fits, and is comfortable? As long as it still functioning as a shoe i dont see a problem

The problem is the price he paid for a fake product from a reputable retailer.

Yup, let's just hope it's genuine leather "upper" as per the shoe says it is - so it's a little bit of comfort that it's still real leather (or at least the exterior). - like it does feel and smell different to the other cheaper shoes on the rack.

At least I'll be trying to use the most out of it - 5 days a week, 9 hours a day for the next couple of years till I get a new one. 😓

Well when i buy a shoe, i just care that it works as a shoe. Wether its a rm10 croc copy or a rm400 columbia hiking shoe, as long as it does the job, doesnt break prematurely or cost discomfort, I wouldn't care if its a fake or not.. and the price, well if u can afford it then theres no issue.. not like a real polo is gonna make u any money once it's worn anyway

Those polo brands in department stores are obviously not Ralph Lauren. They’re brands who are mostly sold in department stores around Malaysia. This particular brand is Polo Haus. There are other similar brands like Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club too.
