Maybe.
Design-wise, it looks quite similar to the real deal, but it's not made of leather or nice materials which even from a distance makes it look cheaper and like an obvious knock-off.
Still looks quite nice, though, and are more resistant than I expected. I wear them as regular, everyday shoes and have been doing so since June and there are little signs of wear, the only ones are made by the shoes themselves (because apparently I can't walk like a normal person and keep rubbing them together) and the material that is kinda wrinkled because ankles move.

Here's a picture of them on the first day. They are from your usual taobao shop, there were literally dozens of shops with these same shoes, same prices, same stock pictures.

About other knock-offs, it really depends. On a previous thread a girl posted a really pretty replica of those Melissa + Vivienne Westwood winged RHS but before that I only heard of these being shitty, poor material etc. Read them reviews.
