People keep saying these are fake TOMS but if they are then they fake them very well! I received the shoes with TOMS stitching inside and on the back, TOMS bag, sticker, pamphlet, etc. If it's fake then they have totally fooled me. And in that case who else would know if they were fake? They are built well (at first a little snug, but after a day or two they stretched out), so I don't see anything wrong with them. Maybe I just got a really good pair, but for a reasonable price I think they're definitely worth it.
