The other reviewers are right. If you own another pair of Emmies you'll be able to tell there is something odd about these. I wouldn't go as far as call them fake.... but maybe. The outter soles are glued on to the bottom. Other Emmie flats are stitched but these go as far as having the stitching &#34;stamped&#34; or designed into the rubber sole. And the color seemes more greyed out than in the picture.
