Today I needed new cleats real bad since my old ones were falling apart during games. A teammate mentioned * and I thought why not give it a shot? But then I wondered if it’s even legit.
Starting My Legit-Check Journey
First thing I did was Google “is * legit” expecting clear answers. What a mess! Tons of old forum posts saying totally opposite things. Some people swore it’s great, others screamed SCAM. Typical internet nonsense. Couldn’t trust any of it.
So I started snooping around their actual website. Checked for basic trust signals like the little padlock icon in the browser. Saw one, so that’s good. Then I clicked every useless link in their footer – return policy, contact page, you name it. Looked real enough, but that doesn’t prove anything nowadays.
The Test Purchase Move
Decided to risk it for science. Threw a pair of basic $20 socks into my cart. Went through checkout biting my nails. Used a credit card on purpose – figure it’s safer if things go south. Paid… and the payment actually went through? Website showed my order number and everything. But hold up, that doesn’t mean the socks will ever show up!
Checked my bank app right after paying. Saw the money left my account. Damn. Emailed customer service about changing shipping address just to see if anyone would reply. Surprisingly got a human response in like 2 hours. Color me shocked.
The Waiting Game & Final Verdict
Tracked that package like it held state secrets. Took almost a week (felt like a year) but brown box finally showed up at my door. Ripped it open – actual socks inside matching my order. Tried returning them just to test their policy. Printed the label off their site, dropped at UPS, saw my refund hit the card 7 days later.
Final Take: *’s legit. Bought stuff, got stuff, returned stuff without issues. Website didn’t crash, payment didn’t get stolen, humans answered emails. Still, here’s my big warning:
- NEVER use debit cards online, period.
- Watch return deadlines like a hawk.
- Track packages religiously.
- Read descriptions super carefully.
Glad I tested this myself instead of trusting random online rants. Now I need those cleats…
