How to Spot Authentic Diduo (And Why It Matters)
Counterfeit footwear is a £400m industry. Here's how to make sure your Diduo is the real thing.
Every authentic Diduo product comes with markers that counterfeiters consistently get wrong. Here's what we look for — and what you should too.
The logo. The Diduo wordmark uses a precise diamond accent on the 'D'. Counterfeits flatten it into a square or skip the accent entirely.
The stitching. Real Diduo uses 8 stitches per inch on the upper. Counterfeits typically use 5–6, giving a coarser look on close inspection.
The sole. The platform's tread depth and the rubber's give are dead giveaways. Authentic soles compress slightly under fingertip pressure; counterfeit soles feel rigid and hollow.
The packaging. Diduo ships in matte black boxes with embossed logos. Glossy or printed-logo boxes are a red flag.
The provenance. Buy from authorised retailers. Diduo UK is one of them — every pair we ship is sourced direct from Diduo with verifiable batch numbers.
