This link posted earlier has some pretty detailed pics. http://www.pickyourshoes.com/casual/...underworld.htm

If they haven't got Underworld on the back tab of one shoe and Tomato on the back of the other, that's a bad sign for a start. The other thing would be the soles of the shoes which, as you can see in these pix, have a very distinct design, and also the insoles which have random lyrics on them.

If you are unsure, I would suggest emailing the store and asking for all these details to be confirmed, and ask them to confirm they are genuine. If you then purchase them and find they aren't, you can get your money back through your credit card company/paypal/whoever and return them. Sucks to have to do that, but unless you can actually look at the shoes before you buy them, there is no way to tell 100%
