I agree-just wanted to point out that I don't see how the bow style could have been bought in quantity off price given that they're still at full retail. I'm also done on this authentication request too as from the getgo I don't like to give opinions on jellies. I know the OP really wants an answer on her question and I had hoped that someone who actually owns them could compare, but in truth a counterfeit off a rubber molded shoe is still just poured in a mold and if done well will lose very little detail from the original (it will lost a drop and be mm's smaller by definition of a secondary mold) but that won't actually show to one's eye without a side by side comparison and maybe not even then.Ah yes - I didn't doublecheck the original ebay listing - those are indeed different flipflops! However the other tPF member did reply back to me that the studs appear the same in both styles, FWIW. Beyond that, the styles are too different so cannot do a valid comparison. Maybe someone else will come along and help otherwise it's possible that we've exhausted possibilities on this thread now.
There are going to be some questions that may not be answerable and IMO this is one of them,.
