Is www.newbalance574australia.com a legit website?

Posted at: 2015-03-04 
That's a counterfeit site. You can tell because New Balance does not allow any sites but the official site to use the "New Balance" trademark in their domain name

The site is already breaking the law by failing to provide a registered business address on their homepage and/or Contacts page. This is a legal requirement for all e-commerce sites

You never buy from any site that doesn't even list an address or a phone number

That site has nothing to do with Australia. It was only registered in February this year to someone in Delaware, USA. It certainly does not appear legitimate.

If I can add, they have another site on the same file server

max2014.fr using the same Contact Us form lacking any identifying phone# or address.

Don't give your money to a site with nothing but an email contact form.

FYI 95% of the sneaker sites people ask about on Answers turn out to be Chinese counterfeit sites, watch out...doing a domain name whois lookup more often than not exposes Chinese ownership.

Here's the official Nike authorized store finder

Here are some large respected shoe sites:

Zappos.com (has free shipping and return shipping) did have some bad publicity after their customer database was hacked.

6pm.com ( Zappos owned clearance store)

Onlineshoes.com

Shoebuy.com

Shoemetro.com

eastbay.com (shares facilities with Footlocker)

There are forums that are dedicated to sneakers, which can be educational.

Hell no. First, that URL is garbage - NB has a website here: http://www.newbalance.com.au/

Second, read the FAQ - there's a lot of Chinglish in there.

You've been scammed.

No.

The site is only a month.

It only sells cheap Chinese fakes.

hell don't trust Australians or Americans

I bought a pair of shoes from www.newbalance574australia.com 11 days ago; no confirmation email, money left my account, shoes haven't arrived. I was wondering if anybody else had used this website before and if so whether they were scammed, or had a good experience. I even went into the "Contact Us" section to inquire about my purchase and it wouldn't let me send the question.
