Is this normal or are there fake Thorogood boots out there?

I recently Amazon ordered two pairs (a normal and a wide) of the same size, same boot: Thorogood American Heritage 8” steel toe. A 10.5 and a 10.5 wide.

My question is if these differences are normal manufacturing or are there actually Thorogood fakes out there?

One pair had no odor, the other hit my face with a chemical smell as soon as I opened the box.

-sole: one is significantly shiny, almost glossy and way less texture.
-side logo, slight differences in the wings and general depth of the stamp.
-moc toe, the perforations? Are almost doted on one and elongated on the other.
-tongue, one is noticeably thicker and the label is placed differently.

Thank you for your input.
