CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN AUTHENTICITY QUESTIONS GO HERE.


****

FIRST, PLEASE DO A SEARCH BY SELLER NAME OR ITEM NUMBER TO SEE IF YOUR QUESTION HAS ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED.
This is not a thread to ask general questions about CL, please refer to our main CL forum for information about sizing, seasons, etc.


IF THE AUCTION/SHOES HAVE NOT YET BEEN AUTHENTICATED, POST HERE.

This is a free service, so it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format. PLEASE LEAVE A SPACE AFTER THE COLONS.

PLEASE LIMIT YOUR REQUESTS TO THREE (3) PER POST.



FOR AUCTION SITES:

Item: xxxx
Listing number: xxxx
Seller: xxxx
Link: xxxx
Comments: xxxx

If the shoes in question are
NOT ON AN AUCTION SITE, please use the following:

Item Name (if you know it):
Link (if available):
Seller:
Comments:
Please give us as much information as you can and then attach any photos (all authentication must include photos).

This format to prevent duplication requests and to make it simpler for people to 'search' for items which may have been posted previously. If you feel that your post has been skipped, you may repost but please copy and paste the ORIGINAL LINK, do not just copy and paste the link from your post.

Please post ALL of the following photos to insure ACCURATE authentication:

ON A HARD SURFACE, NOT A BED OR CARPETING ;*We need to see the ENTIRE shoe, not a cropped portion.


PROFILE: this is a shot of the entire side of the shoe, and should be taken straight on, NOT from above or below
BACK
FRONT
LABEL/LOGO inside the shoe
SOLE 1: a clear close-up shot of the logo/size stamp, preferably no flash
(a macro lens is best for this shot &; it's the flower icon on your camera)
SOLE 2: a shot of the entire sole
BOOTS: Please do your best to get a clear shot of the label inside the boot. This can be tricky, but it can be done.

SNEAKERS: For sneakers good quality close-ups of the following details are required:

SIZE STAMP
CL LOGO ON THE INSOLE
& MADE IN& STAMP ON THE OUTSOLE
CL STAMP ON THE OUTSOLE


AUTHENTICATORS: Please utilize the "QUOTE" feature when responding directly to another post. Please do not publicly post details about why you think an item is or is not authentic, sellers of fakes have been known to lurk here and we would not want to help them.

Should one of YOUR items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity. DO NOT handle disputes with other members in this thread &; take your differences to Private Messages.
****Failure to do so can result in BANNING.****

Can someone help me authenticate these?

I spent a lot of money on them and when I received them, they weren't perfect as I would've hoped. What's freaking me out the most is on the red sole, by where the name is, the red sole looks wrinkled, it's not smooth and perfect as in the one pair i own which I bought at the boutique.
I bought them on ebay , and seller even included a receipt, which is another thing, on the pair I bought at the boutique in Miami, the receipt is the same size as the one the seller sent me, but is a pinkish color, and on the back of the receipt it has the entire back page with "terms and conditions" of the purchase. The receipt the ebay seller sent me, the back of the receipt is blank???
Another thing that bothered me so much is seller sent me extra heel tips, in a horrible tiny little ziplock bag, and the heel tips were way bigger than the original tips.

They are gorgeous and they seem great, I want to believe with every inch of my body that I wasn't fooled and that they are authentic.
Before I post a negative feedback, please help me be at peace.
I've never seen a fake pair of CLs so I'm only comparing with the Daffodaile pumps I own which i purchased at the CL store. Please see below my conclusions so far.
Boxes - identical
Tissue paper - Identical
Receipts - Different, mine is a peachy color, in the back has terms and conditions
The seller's is white, and is blank in the back
Dust bags - Mine only has one big one, smooth suede material. Seller's brings 2 dust bags, the print looks the same, material is not as smooth as mine.
Red Sole - Mine are perfectly smooth. Seller's color is the same, bright red, CL name is the same, but part of the sole looks wrinkled.
Heel tips - Seller's don't even belong the shoes.
CL Bag in the back of the pictures, not from the ebay purchase.

Help!!

Can you please authenticate these sneakers! Thank you so much in advance :)

Item: Christian Louboutin Mens Rollerboat Sneakers
Item Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Christian-Louboutin-Mens-/271229910249?pt=US_Men_s_Shoes&hash=item3f268ffce9
Item number: 271229910249
Seller: malikah_09
Comment: The seller has no feedback so I am suspicious, plus they seem off to me. Let me know what you think.
I'm not an expert on sneakers...PLEASE WAIT FOR ANOTHER AUTHENTICATOR.
Didn't want to think we skipped you, if you can get the auctioneer to rotate the pics, it would help.

These look good, some of the soles are wrinkled, I have a pair of VP's with some slight wrinkling. Dust bags are not an indication of authenticity. Not sure about the heel tips as I didn't see a picture of them. Were they sold as new or used? I see that there are vibrams, it could be that the shoes were worn and the heel tips replaced with the original CL tips and she threw in some "other" heel tips. I have had a white receipt from Costa Mesa and it is white with no printing on the back, it could be a difference from one boutique to another. If you would like you can wait for a second opinion.

They were sold as "Worn once for a photoshoot", and seller did post that she puts vibram on all her shoes before wearing them.
