How can you tell if mercurials are fake?

Answer 1

you know when they are fake because if you look at the bottom, the carbon fiber squares should be shiny metallic and diagonal going toward the toe. If carbon fiber checkered squares are black and charcoal grey and they aren't shiny jet black, and aren't diagonal going towards the toe, and they are lined up in horizontal rows going towards the toe then they are fakes. Also real cleats are suppose to be almost nothing in weight. So if it has a little weight to it, then they are fake. Period.
