Pro-Direct Soccer review: is it a reliable site?

Solved/Closed

Hello, I'm thinking of buying a pair of Mercurial Vapor Superfly II FG Safari on this site (http://www.prodirectsoccer.com/Products/Nike-Mercurial-Vapor-Superfly-II-Firm-Ground-Safari-Mens-Boots-White-Total-Orange-Black-22289.aspx).
However, does this site sell original football shoes or are they counterfeits? The price difference is quite significant even considering that they were released almost eight months ago (original price: €375).
Additionally, I heard that payment on this site is made in pounds; would that mean there would be an extra charge when paying by credit card as a French resident living in France?
If someone who knows and/or has previously ordered from this site could enlighten me and give me some advice.
Thank you :)

The site is English, it has existed since 2000, and the last renewal of the domain name was in 2010, valid until 2020. (source NIC)

In the UK, there are sales year-round, although there is a particular period around the end of the year when everyone makes a big effort... On this site, it seems to be clearance sales, not all sizes are available.

When you buy in the UK, there is a conversion from £ to Euro. Banks take a percentage and sometimes also fixed transfer fees... ask your bank what additional fees to expect (generally, it’s between 1.5 and 3% (of the transaction amount) plus a few euros in fixed fees).

Be careful of shipping costs... In the UK, it's quite expensive to Europe...
