First pair are authentic.

Second pair looks good but I'd like to see a full shot of the shoe's profile standing on a flat surface and not taken at an angle. And also a close up of the stamp on the sole.

Hi again Nolita! I got some additional photos, non in profile though. Is it enough for authentication? Thank you so much!
Sincerely, Sara

Item: Christian Louboutin Very Prive Popi

Listing number: 130970049689

Seller: xxxx

Link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Beautiful-A..._s_Shoes&hash=item1e7e6c5c99&autorefresh=true

Comments: I won the bid and then realized that the colors on the fabric of heels doesn't quite match up like the other popi styles. Can someone please authenticate for me and tell me if the colors heels should match up to compliment each other.
 
I found these at Value Village and not knowing better purchased them. I am pretty sure they are fake even though they were priced at $100. But I thought I'd check anyways :smile1:

The weird things are that the heel tap and bottoms look new but there is some discoloration on the white satin (could have been worn indoors). The sole doesn't look right to me either but then I wondered if they could have been resoled. Especially since the original size was 40 and they are restamped with a 39 (seems odd in a mass produced fake).

Pretty sure I can't return them especially after removing the price sticker. I guess I learned my lesson though and hopefully will recognize the real thing.
 
Please help authenticate! These shoes look funny to me. The seller told me they are just an old style. I don't know. Please help!
