These are definitely fake. I bought two pairs in different sizes to compare. They were both completely different inside linings and the Troopa was misspelled and the materials were cheap and looked nothing like the authentic SM Troopa boots. I have had these before and purchases them from an official SM store. Amazon needs to investigate their merchants more carefully because from reading some other reviews I am definitely not the only ones who have had this happen to them. Pretty disappointed I must say.
