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.****

Hello! Can you help authenticate this vintage pair of Bow T Dorsets? The shape looks good but the sole isn't as glossy as my other Louboutins... Thank you!

The bottoms are way off but agree that everything else looks good. Just compared to my pair and everything else is the same. As there are numbers painted on the shoe as well, maybe someone wore and repainted bottoms for resale? Huge difference from my pair.

Thanks for your response! I didn't buy these new and wondered the same, if they could have been painted. I have a nude pair that are IDENTICAL, except for the sole...
 
Can you please help me authenticate these shoes? Thank you in advance!

Item Name (if you know it): mad Mary Janes
Comments: the stamp on the red soles look a bit off to me

Would greatly appreciate some help authenticating this. Thanks in advance!

Item Name: Follies Strass 100 Rete/Glitter Version Ronsard
Link: Bought these on Japan Mercari
Seller: Already bought them
Comments: They look authentic to me but what makes me question is the fact that there are some visible shoe glue stains between the shank and sole (pictures attached). Does LB allow such defects through manufacturing?

good
 
Is the signature stamp on the red sole always the same for Christian Louboutin shoes? I have noticed that sometimes the “b” and “o” touch and sometimes they don’t and both are deemed authentic. Did his signature change over time?
