The exponential growth of e-commerce sites has multiplied the availability and offerings of original Hogan shoes online, but it has also led to a proliferation of fake Hogan shoes.
The Hogan Interactive model, for example, has become one of the most sought-after models online, and for an inexperienced buyer, it is often difficult to distinguish between an original and a counterfeit.
There can be many reasons to decide to buy a pair of Hogan shoes online.
Buying a pair of Hogan shoes online can be a necessary choice when you are looking for a discontinued model, such as the Hogan Rebel or Hogan Club.
Or it can be a convenient choice when you can take advantage of promotions or discounts available on a particular website.
Or, more simply, you buy online when the nearest official Hogan retailer… is too far away!
Whatever the reason that drives you to buy Hogan shoes online, there are some rules that are important to consider to avoid the risk of buying counterfeit products or, worse, being defrauded by sites that, once they have collected your money, disappear without a trace.
1. Be wary of HOGAN shoes with excessive discounts
Nobody gives you anything for free. If you see a product with an excessive discount, it's right to be suspicious. A reasonable discount for a product like Hogan can range from 15% for a seasonal item, 30% - 40% for sale items, and 50% for an older item. 60% only if it's the last pair of an old stock.
2. Verify the reliability of the site
There are several ways to check a site's reputation. One way is to check if the site represents a physical store, meaning if there's a real store behind the e-commerce site that you can contact by phone before making a purchase.
Another way is to check for customer reviews, both on the site and on search engines.
Another way is to check for security certificates visible next to the site's URL in your browser.
Avoid ALL e-commerce sites that contain the word hogan in their name; they pretend to be the original site, and they will do the same with the shoes they sell.
In general, we advise you to be wary of retailers who cannot be reached by phone and who are unable to provide telephone advice regarding your purchase.
3. Check product codes
Let's take a concrete example. As we said, one of the most counterfeited models is the Hogan Interactive. One way to easily recognize fakes is to check the existence of the color variant through the product codes, which should always be shown on the site. An example of a Hogan Interactive model/variant code is HXM00N00010KLAB999, where HXM indicates it's a men's Hogan model, 00N00010 indicates it's a variant of the Interactive model, and KLAB999 indicates the material and color. Once you have the product code, try entering it into a Google search. If the product code does not appear in the search results, then investigate further…
4. Hogan for sale on general e-commerce sites…
It often happens, when searching the internet for the best deal, to be directed by the search engine to sites that sell everything. It's better to give up and rely on e-commerce sites specialized in footwear and clothing.
5. Don't forget after-sales service
Before proceeding with the purchase, remember to check for after-sales service guarantees, both in case you wish to return your Hogan shoes because they are the wrong size, and in case the product has a manufacturing defect. If the site from which you purchased is not an authorized retailer, the manufacturer would not be responsible for any defect.
With this short guide, we hope to have given you enough tips to make an informed purchase… in case you don't find your favorite Hogan model on SANGIORGIO
