We know the feeling. You spot your dream pair of shoes online, the price is wild, the site looks almost right… but something’s off. And in today’s world of online shopping, it pays to trust that instinct.
At Ketch Shoes, we’re proudly Canadian—and we only work with authentic brands we trust. Sadly, not everyone plays by the same rules. There are fake websites out there copying the look and feel of real stores, and even pretending to sell the same brands we carry.
So how do you know you’re shopping smart? Let’s break it down.
Why Fake Sites Are on the Rise
We carry brands that people love—ones that blend comfort, quality, and real style. And with that popularity comes, well… impostors.
Scam websites often copy product photos, names, and branding from legit stores like ours. They might claim to sell shoes from the same brands you see on ketchshoes.ca, but they don’t ship what you ordered—if they ship anything at all. Even worse? Some are designed just to steal your personal or payment info.
Long story short: if it looks too good to be true, it usually is.
How to Spot a Fake Website
Don’t worry—you don’t need to be a tech expert to sniff out a scam. Just keep an eye out for these red flags:
🔍 Look at the URL
The only official site for us is ketchshoes.ca. Anything slightly off—like a weird domain name or subtle misspellings—is cause for concern.
📷 Blurry photos or off-brand fonts
If a site looks a bit… messy? That’s a bad sign. We (and the brands we carry) care about how things look—so fakes often stand out.
💸 Prices that are too amazing
We love a good deal too—but if a brand-new pair of premium shoes is 80% off, there’s probably a catch.
📭 Missing contact info
A real business will always give you a way to reach out. If there’s no phone number, physical address, or proper customer service email, it’s not worth the risk.
🔐 Use tools to double-check
Sites like the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre and Get Cyber Safe have easy guides for spotting shady sites.
Real Brands. Real Sites. All Canadian.
To make things easier, here’s a list of official websites for the brands we carry—so you always know you’re shopping the real deal in Canada:
These sites are secure, authorized, and ship within Canada. If you’re not shopping at one of these or ketchshoes.ca, take a moment to double-check.
Think You've Found a Fake?
If you come across a website pretending to be Ketch—or pretending to carry brands we offer—report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. You can also let us know directly. We’ll do our best to help and spread the word.
Why It Matters
We’re more than just an online shoe store. Ketch is a family-run Canadian business, and we’re here to build a shopping experience based on trust, care, and the belief that quality matters—from the shoes on your feet to the people behind your purchase.
When you shop smart, you’re protecting more than your wallet—you’re supporting real brands and businesses that care.
