I just looked at my Bobby's and yes they are made in China & yes there's a gap inside where you can see the wedge. I bought my shoes from Barney's so I know they are authentic.
For sure I could see why you'd be alarmed though as the Dickers are made in France. I have a pair of Jenny's and those are made in Portugal. I guess it just depends.
Correct me if I am wrong but I think this seasons Hi Top Sneakers are made in Portugal. Can someone verify this?
