The shoes are real converse or at least seem to be. Sailor moon looks okay, but the other sailor scouts look absolutely nothing like the images that were shown. I know this is a hand made product but there should be some consistency at least. They took a long time to ship/get to me. Originally when ordered it said by July 31st and then August came and estimated date changed. No way to actually track.I will be keeping them but will probably figure out a way to remove the image of the sailor scouts.I cannot recommend their work enough! Exactly what I asked for, beautiful detailed work. I will most definitely order more AND recommended to everyone I know. Thank you so much ??These shoes exceeded my expectations and are amazing!Perfect
