Hi!

I few weeks ago I visited Paris, and found a shoe outlet called "Mi-Prix", and I bought a pair of Valentinos from there. I hope someone could please tell me if these are authentic? or if this style has even been made..? I have no experience in fake shoes or Valentino. I don't know how much fakers care about comfort, but these are very comfortable, and beautiful!

Thank you all so much in advance! :heart::heart:

Thank you so much! :)

With handbags I would never chance it, to buy without checking first.. But the shop seemed realistic.. A lot shoes on sale..mostly summer shoes, which is logical at this time of the year..and a lot in small sizes..like 34 and 35..which also makes sense to me..those super small sizes are rarest, and most likely to be last ones sold..?

I thought that in Paris the police would have closed the shop if they openly sell fakes..but then again..there were one fake bag, but it was a really bad one, maybe it did not have anything to do with their shoe business.... I mean there were couture too, but mostly shoes :)

I googled the shop out of curiousity and it appears like what they sell are genuine. Of course I'd wait for someone to properly ID these but this is what I found on fodors.com:
Mi-Prix
Address: 27 bd. Victor, 15e, Montparnasse, Paris | Map It
Phone: 01-48-28-42-48
Category: Shoes/Luggage/Leather Goods (Budget)
Location: Paris
Fodor's Review:
Mi-Prix is a jumble of end-of-series designer shoes and accessories from the likes of Alexandra Neel, Michel Perry, Valentino, and Rodolph Ménudier, priced at up to 70% below retail.
Metro: Porte de Versailles

HTH :smile1:

Thanks Jen! :smile1: I have also googeled it, and I've read that same review! That's the place! Our hotel was across the street! :D I just don't know how reliable that review is, people are so unaware of the fake business.. But then...they are strict in Paris! The airport had a lot of advertisement about how you can go to jail for 3 years for wearing a fake bag.. And that shop sold one bad fake bag, it looked like a fake bag bought from beach stand in the 70's.. Well I just assumed it was fake 'cos it was so badly crafted..I just can't remember what label it was supposed to be..!

Here's a few more websites with Mi-Prix:

Too bad I don't know French :p And I have no idea how reliable those people are..
