My friend just purchased these without letting me post here first. Luckily the seller has a pretty generous return policy. Can someone please take a look at these and let us know whether they are authentic or not?

Hi there I'm posting for help in regards to these shoes I want to buy for my boyfriend. I am wondering if they are authentic Gucci.

I contacted the seller on eBay and he said he had received them as a gift but did not like them...and he thinks they are authentic as they came with a shoe bag, shoe box, & authenticity card.
I asked him to take extra pictures of the shoes etc and here they are included...
Any help will be appreciated in authenticating these shoes.

thanks in advance,
Eileen.

ps. the card pics are blurry and have asked for better ones but i haven't received a response yet, so this is what I've got right now.

^^^those are fake, sorry. Gucci shoes don't come with an "authenticity card" and there is a rainbow tint to it (3rd photo), which automatically makes it fake. Also, the box is way off.

So, DO NOT BUY THEM! I'm glad you asked before you did. :)

Thanks Ashakes.

Just wondering for future reference what constitutes legit vs fake Gucci when it comes to shoes?

a) What colour is the shoe box?
b) Does it always not come with an authenticity card?
c) Is there any strip or symbol that depicts its authenticity? (ex. silver strip, etc..)
d) Are there any other things to look out for when trying to see if a shoe is authentic?

Thanks, and I appreciate everyone's response.
Eileen.

^ Granted that this is a picture for women's shoes, it gives you an idea of what the box should look like:

As you can see though, the font on the fake box isn't even the Gucci font.

I believe Ashakes is saying that Gucci shoes NEVER come with an authenticity card. Although for reference, one should never use that as any sort of "proof" that something is authentic as those are faked all the time for fake Louis Vuitton and Prada bags.

Hi
I am new to this forum. I recently purchased a pair of Prada shoes from a thrift store and so I have no idea if they are real or not. They are in totally new condition, they even had a part of the sale sticker on the bottom when I bought them. Does anyone know if they are real? I attached the photos using reply to this thread, I hope this is the right way to attach them.
Thanks so much, so glad I found this forum,
Fancyfrancie!

Sorry, I can't figure out how to post the pictures.

blackbird · Jan 7th, 2008, 04:32 PM

here are the photos that fancyfrancie! is trying to post:

Are these authentic?
And is it true about the Vincini/Zanotti thing?

Thank you!

That seller/their shoe inventory is authentic. Yes Vicini & Giuseppe Zanotti are essentially the same thing (same company, names used interchangeably).
