PIC SOURCE : THE STARONLINEThe above was published in The Star not too long after I bought the cheap Crocs from the stalls. Crocs had issued official statements warning the Malaysian public about imitation Crocs flooding the night market recently. Crocs do not have any reject stocks from China.
Referring to the above picture - the Real Crocs is on the Left!
The article oulined some guidelines to help us differentiate Real vs Fake Crocs.
1. Every pair of Crocs has its own unique barcode/serial number printed on its hangtag. If you see the same serial number appearing on the hangtags of any other pair of shoes of the same model or other models, then you definitely have an imitation in your hands.
2. Every original Crocs hangtag contains information relating to its corresponding pair of Crocs shoes such as its style name, colour description and size.
3. Check for authorised retailers and Crocs concept stores selling Crocs footwear listed in the official website at crocs.com.my. Only stores listed on the website sell genuine Crocs shoes.
4. Check the website product listing and compare the available designs and colours. If you see a shoe with the brand Crocs in a design or colour that is not shown on the website, then it is not an authentic Crocs product.
5. You can also go to facebook.com/crocsmalaysia and post a query.
Customers can contact the official Crocs Service Centre ( 03-6203 2336) if they have any enquiries about the availability of genuine Crocs products in Malaysia.
Sigh.
Can you guess which one is my real Crocs?
As if the M'sian consumers care if they are buying a fake or real one, majority of the consumers don't.
