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



FOR AUCTION SITES:

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:

BACK
FRONT

CL STAMP ON THE OUTSOLE

Item: Unknown style
Seller: wickedhard
Comments: bought these from eBay and seeking authentication assistance. I'm not at all familiar/never saw these before. I received them and they are constructed with LOTS of glue rather than stitching... Not sure if that's a thing! I'm hopeful, but not holding my breath. Thanks in advance! Also would be excited to learn their style (or the style they're mimicking if counterfeit)ImageUploadedByPurseForum1469394932.616807.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1469394962.745154.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1469394984.980018.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1469395011.715088.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1469395035.665959.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1469395057.251453.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1469395078.786287.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1469395100.702572.jpg
 
Please authenticate shoes I bought a while back.
Unknown item: possibly Yo Yo Zeppa black suede 37
They have since been dyed darker due to being worn--I did get black dye on the right sole, which is why it's a little darker and splotchy in spots. I also had sole protectors put on a few years ago.
Thanks!

Item Name: So Kate 120mm Pacific Blue

Hi ladies! So I posted the link for these when I originally bought them and based of those pictures they were authentic. I've finally received them, and while they are beautiful, I'm having some small doubts as to the authenticity. For instance, the picture of the heel, the red sole isn't cut perfectly straight. Also on some of the pictures where the red sole meets the the shoes at the top of the heel, it looks a little roughly cut. When comparing them to my other pair of Louboutins (which I know are real) the 4s on the size are different, the D from "Made in Italy" is different and the Paris in the inside of the sole looks like a slightly different font. Also on the inside of the sole, the Christian Louboutin signature is indented, whereas on my old pair it is not. Not sure if I am being too picky? I know they are different styles and made at different times. Just want to make sure they are authentic. Any thoughts are appreciated! :)

Good, these are normal variations
 
Item: 252468476885
Listing number: ?
Seller: carisena
Link: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Christian-L...5-Worn-Once-/252468476885?nav=WATCHING_ACTIVE
Comments: I have a few pairs of CL at home but I'm just a little weary about this seller as she claims she has no receipt as they were bought online, but surely that means she should have the invoice or confirmation email. I realise this isn't an indicator of authenticity but it did rouse my suspicions.
