Really ? Based on what you think they are real? The blurred stamping on the insole and the bottom made me doubting
I’ve handled a ton of Ferragamo, there are a lot of tiers of quality, a lot are garbage and some are very nice. That’s. Well put together shoe and very unlikely a counterfeiter would go through the trouble of copying a whole cut shoe, that particular style, not that it’s ugly is just not popular

Thanks a lot, i was 99% sure that I had been scammed. My Santoni's seem a lot better quality wise, seeing SF prices on their website i expected a lot more from these shoes.

On a quality level Santoni beats out Ferragamo hands down, most people buy Ferragamo for the flashy logos. If you want some really quality Ferragamo their handmade Tremezza line is top notch but will set you back about $1.2k per pair

I don't believe Ferragamo have a shoe factory, and buy from various factories for different collections, countries and years. No reason to believe they are fakes at all - as there is no such thing as a Ferragamo factory - they all just use the name. If they are inferior or not, it all depends on the factory and their focus at that time - these things vary from year to year, and country to country. If you're not happy, eBay them on, someone will be happy at the price, just as you should have been, if not, they will pass them on, and they will find their value somewhere. Branded goods, especially for non-shoe makers, are a it and miss - you can see this in the Gucci collection of shoes over the years...

They certainly don't look to have any quality about them. I'd defer to someone who really believes that such meagre standards makes them real but it is very unconvincing especially at that price.

not hard to find new Tramezza shoes for $500 or less.
