100% authentic Gucci; they come with a (Gucci) hard-shell case, cleaning cloth, and certificate of authenticity. The time came to replace them and I looked at other shoes to replace them with but was still drawn to buying another pair of Ghosts albeit the Ghost 13. With these though thats not the case. Perfect gift for your rugged outdoors guy. Suenan muy agradable pero un poco bajo, yo lo mejoro un poco con una aplicación de amplificador de volumen. They are a kids sandal but fit me well. Not so with mr Pink. If youre coming from a different brand, theyll take some getting used to.
