Authenticate Those SHOES

[ctlwyer]

Hi everyone!

I got these off ebay, but now that they have arrived, I wonder about them. The leather soles on the bottom have the Manolo Blahnik branding, but its the label on the inside I wonder about. It looks like the regular Manolo label, but instead of the label being flat and kinda "inside the sole" so to speak, --instead there are two end slits and the label remains raised in the center and only attached where it goes into the slits.... check the pic..... are these fake? Have you seen labels like this? I have never seen the label loose so to speak. All of my other Manolos I got at Neiman's and their labels are flat and cannot be moved. This one (because of the slits) I can move the label side to side.

Thanks so much!!

Ctlwyer, None of my Manolos have slits like that, they are all stitched, so yours do look very suspicious. Can you post some pics. of the shoe for us please?

Thanks Dallas! Here are some more pics......

^^ They look like an older Manolo style, like pre-2000, that's probably why the label is different. I don't think they are fake.

270483722359 - Definitely fake.

190348292886 - More than likely fake, pictures aren't clear enough for me to tell for sure.

Basically, with a shoe that's as heavily faked as these, I would recommend to anyone that they only buy on eBay when the seller has had an extensive history/track record of selling luxury shoes for years.

Hi everyone!


Are these Manolos real? My sister would love them for Xmas.... they look real to me, but I have been fooled before. Also, does anyone know if the D'Orsay's run small? I know folks say Manolos can run small, but my sister has 2 pair of strappy sandals and one Manolo pointed toe pumps that are true to size for her. Not sure about this style though.

Thanks so much !!!

Authentic. D'orsays run large, not small. Anything open toe is going to run larger, and D'orsay styles are even more generous in fit. HTH.

Could you please help authenticate those shoes for me:

http://cgi.ebay.com/PRADA-BOOTS-SHOE...item439b0ce849

They look ok to me; but the seller seems to have lots of Prada shoes for sale so I have some doubt.
Is the price too good to be true? Are those styles highly faked? I must say that I know more about handbags than shoes re authentication.

Many thanks for your help and opinions.

I think authentic. I'd be curious to see a full shot of the bottom sole, not just partial. You may want to write the seller to see if there's writing/store stickers on the upper portion of the sole -- that will help legitimize the shoes actually.
