easy.. the white stripe on the real one is made from leather. the fake one is just normal material.

puma makes pretty decent shoes but beware of fakes coz i've seen some at shopping complexes. i think common sense will tell u that if u see a 'puma' selling for RM50, its pretty obvious its fake. also, those the box of the shoes will tell u if its real. check out the material and stitchings. fake pumas normally have very plasticky look. last but not least, buy from authorised dealers.

i have a puma shudoh lifestyle. its one of my favourite with its nice fittings and weight. used it for casual wear and occasionally futsal.

But those from Petaling Street damn good..even the box looks like real. I gather that somebody in the factory order extra material and make extra without the knowledge of PUMA. In some sense it is as close as the original.

sometimes, pirate stuff won't perform as good as it looks
i even bought a few counterfeit shoes before
and speaking about durability, normally it won't lasts long

Well compaired to all the highcut race boots to date the nicest when it comes to heel and toe is the Replicat hi cut.
Plus it's the cheapest FIA approve racing shoe to date.
But the odd bit is that in Europe it's the most expensive and most sought after.

After the Replicat, my next choice is the now non existant No Fear which is still the best looking boots. Followed by the Sparco and lastly Alpine Star.
