text: Without a doubt fakes, I knew it immediately looking at the fake leather and the fake leather sole. However, they are nice looking, good quality for whatever material they are and have held up well.  Real Jacks take a while to break in so comfort is TBD. Not thrilled that they aren't real but, happy that they look nice and are holding up. Several people mentioned hand written size indicating a fake- that is incorrect, real Jacks have hand written size. The faux leather is the giveaway here.
