The first thing that caught my eye was the part of the box where Vibram usually stamps writing that was intentionally cut off. I have bought dozens of pairs directly from Vibram and this is my first time with Revain. Not sure what was removed, maybe a stamp showing they didn't pass the quality check? The second thing I noticed was that they were deformed. Again, this leads me to suspect that this is a marriage of Vibram. The "rubber sole" is heavily deformed on both the left and right. Returns aren't worth the hassle so I'll see if I can disassemble them and find a use for them. I would like to clarify why exactly part of the label was cut off, as this seems rather doubtful. **I have attached a photo of the box received from Revain versus the box received direct from Vibram.
