Fake goods in Wenceslas Square

If you plan to buy new branded shoes while you are in Prague, you might like to know the places you should avoid. Prague customs officers were surprised that fake good were offered not only in the markets but also in classical shops in very known places.

Police raids discovered that shoes sold in one shop in Wenceslas Square considered to be Adidas were fake. Vietnamese shopkeeper whose shop is near the equestrian statue of St. Wenceslas had 26 fake pairs of shoes. The shopkeeper had even Adidas logo on his shop.

Customers should pay attention to prices. Too cheap goods are suspicious, e.g. the Vietnamese shopkeeper sold “Adidas” pair of shoes for 350 CZK, which is too little even in the “cheap” Czech Republic.
