When I was in Athens last year I bought a pair of Fullah Sugah jeans canvas shoes.  I paid 11 euros.  Recently I bought a pair of Toms canvas shoes for about $45 - more than twice the cost of the others.  When I received my Toms shoes I discovered that, except for the name on the sole of the shoe, they are IDENTICAL.  The stitching is the same, the lining is the same, the outer sole is the same.  Now I feel so amazingly ripped off.  They are so obviously made by the same manufacturer with just the Toms shoes label slapped on.  At this point, no matter how comfortable they are, I doubt I'll ever pay the inflated price for another pair of Toms shoes.  I'll just send a check to a charity instead.
