Therefore the jury cannot accept the authenticity of these shoes. These were my first purchases in Birka. I don't normally spend $90 on sandals, but I had an Amazon gift card so I bought it instead of going to an authorized retailer. Honestly I can't tell if these are fake as I don't have the comfort/quality barometer of this item. Pros: Hardware matches close-up photos from Birkenstock website. The T-strap sits flat on my foot, contrary to some complaints I've read about fakes. I didn't notice any sloppy glue or other signs of cheap manufacturing. Cons: came in a package, not a box, no tag. The lettering on the insole was black - for the liquorice color on the official website it appears to be gold, although black lettering is standard for other colors. The verdict is unknown. I'm not sure if I messed it up or not. I'm guessing that might be the equivalent of the factory riots you saw at the outlet? If I were a Birk lover and didn't rely on a gift card to make a purchase, I'd spend the extra $10 and go to an authorized retailer.
