I am often skeptical of knock-offs but decided to give these a try. I ordered "light grey" and I also found a pair if red Tom's on sale for a similar price to compare. I went into this purchase knowing fully well that I have a high arch and need support - I also know fully well that lightweight flats don't offer much arch support. This should NOT be a shocker to anyone who needs supportive shoes. But I've found arch support inserts can be invaluable for situations when I really want a certain type of shoe but it doesn't off support. Problem solved.Both shies arrived and as you can see from thr photos, other than colors and label these shoes look nearly identical. Canvas has same feel inside and out on both. Textured outer sole on both for some slip protection. The fit was the same. I used thr Amazon fit recommendations....I've ordered a fair amount of shoes from Amazon and zappos (an Amazon company) so they recommend my size. I usually wear an 9.5 or 10 medium width with a high arch. The front of my foot is a little wide but wide widths are too wide for me. I have mild bunions too...I call my feet difficult because I find a lot of shoes uncomfortable. These were comfortable immediately. My first thought was they were too loose but I had to remember I'm adding arch support. If I don't use arch support I'd use Terry cloth shoe liners that I also buy from Amazon. You don't need a sock at all when you wear themStitching was same quality on both. Insole was of same thickness and quality.My only disappointment was that I ordered "light grey" and received light tan. I went back and looked at thr options assuming I accidentally ordered the wrong color. No, I ordered light grey. The available colors are black, light grey, natural, dark red, blue, brown. The natural appears white in the photo. Either that sent me natural by accident or their colors are off. I noticed another reviewer mentioned she also ordered light grey but received same color as me. I would not have chosen this color due to how quickly they will show dirt but I will keep them regardless.As a comparison, the Tom's i ordered came in color I ordered and color was exact match. If thr Tom's hadn't been on sale for same price as these though, I would not have ordered themHope this review was helpful
