Authenticate Those SHOES

This link leads to no listing. I don't know what fiasco happened with Bluefly but it's not uncommon for sites like this to have authentication problems with all the 'superfakes' that are on the market today. Sometimes even true professionals can make mistakes.
 
Good evening, can someone please authenticate these shoes I purchased from eBay.

Item: TORY BURCH LAURA FLAT SANDAL - BLACK - SZ 7 (style no. 36487)
Listing number: 352960614817
Seller: always12shop
Link: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-TORY-BURCH-LAURA-FLAT-SANDAL-BLACK-SZ-7-FREE-POST-/352960614817
Comments: I purchased these from eBay as the seller looks reputable. I have a couple of TB shoes purchased from a department store and in comparison a few things have me questioning authenticity. The shoes have a slight smell, there is a noticeable seam on the vertical thong/toe strap at the front, the shoe label on the box is different to my other shoes, the sole sizing only indicates a number i.e. 7 and not 7M. These are a few things I was made aware of to look at on a few authentication blogs/youtube.

Your prompt help is much appreciated in case I need to look at returning ASAP.

Is there a link to an original listing? Could you please tell me how the buckle is affixed to the shoe?

Hi Audreylita

Unfortunately there is no public listing. I already asked for this info and will share shortly once I get a response (I missed this detail actually). The first red flag for me is the logo. I read that the logo on the buckle should match the logo on the outsoles (contemporary style), not sure however if this is updated. I will provide info on how the buckle is attached shortly.

Thanks a lot!

Hi again Audreylita

There seems to be a metal plate before the buckle and then underneath, there are 2 screws in the front cap toe. See attached images please. Thank you so much for looking into this.
