All the positive reviews are Vine reviews. Those are nearly always just paid reviews for all intents and purposes.
Vine reviewers are not paid.
They get items to review for free but have to pay income tax on the MSRP.
And they do not have to give back positive reviews.

While this may technically be true, if they start piling up bad reviews, all the seller has to do is take it down, make a new name for the shoes and start all over. I steer clear of random brands nobody has ever heard of for this reason.

Not sure why you are getting thumbs down on this. There is no incentive to give a good review on Vine. You said nothing but facts.

How is not paying full price for shoes (even with tax paid) not an incentive for good reviews? Fact is, chances are very high that the "reviewer" will provide a positive review.

I'm sure there are plenty of fake reviews out there from people who received products for a good review. But Vine is handled by Amazon, and there is no incentive to make a review good. They pay Amazon for reviews, and it's Amazon's policy that they are truthful. No incentive to be untruthful. I make bad reviews all the time on Vine. Shoot, I'd be worried that Amazon would kick me off of Vine if all my reviews were positive. That would be sketchy.
For those that are Prime and live close to a return method, does it really matter if the 14 reviews on this are fake or real? It's a $14 shoe that's Prime. If ya like the way they look then get them and if they don't feel comfy or otherwise are undesirable in person, then just return them.
