Welcome to How to spot fake pit vipers. Pit Vipers are all the rage, mostly sold out on the website with scammers alive and well looking to make a slimey buck. I bought my Pit Gobby Originals directly from Pit Viper and found some noticeable differences between the pair I bought from the site and a pair I picked up on Merc. Do your homework, be diligent to look for details—unless, you like paying over full price for fakes (like me apparently). If you know other ways to spot fakes post below!

Thank you for sharing this! I was able to use this information to get a full refund on the fake pair someone tried to overcharge me for.

@maddiecunfer so glad it helped! Sucks there’s so many fakes floating around right now. There’s a ton on here in the men’s listings, on Merc and e🅱️ay too!

To add to your list of fake details: the fake pair are flimsy, light weight and will float. Real pits will not float! Real ones are sturdy and just feel good. It feels like if you drop them on the ground nothing will happen to them. I have tried on several other real pairs ( friends have them) and the feel and fit real vs fake ones are not the same. At least that what I noticed.

@mamalu1982 thanks! That’s a good tip. If the posting has no actual photos or has Z-something in the title— also Fake.

Hi!! I just bought a pair that looks exactly like this one, and I was wondering how much you were charged? I am hoping they are real, the guy has super good ratings, but I want to be diligent.

@swalund I was charged $96+ ship and was refunded my money. I have since gotten an authentic pair of Miami nights and can add photos to this post of what they should look like tomm.

@shebee08 where the heck are you finding real ones? I have been searching for hours lol

@swalund it took about a month before a pair popped up and I haven’t seen another real pair since. Overwhelming Majority are fake. Sometimes you can find other styles on here, mrC and the bay but many of those are too. They’ll restock on site in October/November and that’s your best bet.

@swalund no problem. I also bought two pairs from the site back in July before everything went out of stock, so that’s where I got my authentic pairs from (except Miami nights, I got 2nd hand)

Are there websites with similar urls that sell fakes?
Sep 04Reply

shebee08
@candycorn555 yes. And if you ever see a site with pits “on sale” they are fake. The original site rarely does sales.
