Are these CLs authentic? The label looks suspicious, as it doesn't say "Paris" but I am no expert at this.

Thank you ladies!

Not all CL's say "Paris" -- some of my older shoes (from the 2004/2005 season) bought from the boutiques do not say Paris, and have the spiked edge label, as seen in this pic.

However, the combination of the rafia and this particular heel and this particular label on ONE shoe leaves me uneasy. Unless someone else on this board can give you the go-ahead because they own the exact shoe, save your $.

I would like to see higher res of the Bruges. So far, it looks good, but like Foxy's said, these particular shoes have been faked often and faked well.

Yes, the shoe does have a curl in the toe, some more prominent than in others.

I've only seen authentic from this particular seller. Her customer service, I can't vouch for, however, as I've never had dealings with her myself.

I made my first Ebay Louboutin purchase with them recently. I paid immediately and it took a bit over a week to receive the shoes, and for some reason they had sent it Express Mail. Not sure why? lol Oh well! Shoes were awesome and 100% real. :yes:

Thanks ashakes and fatefullofus! The shoes looked good to me but her feedback was a little shaky and prices were low so I got worried. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, as my mother would say! :p

Also, at the risk of seeming super lurker-ish, I want to know where a medical student finds occasions to wear all of the cute shoes I see in your posts! I am a general surgeon and my (all male) partners totally make fun of me when I wear anything more glamorous than scrubs with brown clogs rather than black!!:smile1:

LOL. Well, I wear the ones that are not super high or showing any OBVIOUS signs of high end designer to work (almost halfway done with rotations now). I'll even dare to say "hookerish". I don't think that any of my shoes are like that, but you are a female in a mostly male profession, so I think you will understand what I mean. And, I wear all the other ones on my own personal time, vacations, weekends, and going out in general. I won't lie...I can often be caught wearing a pair of Louboutins for the heck of it while studying in my room. LOL!

I'm in my hometown rotating right now where my father is on staff, so I get away with a lot more than I would elsewhere. I can wear my designer labels and not get any evil eyes. Well, some may give me some evil eye, but they can't do anything and I don't really care. lol I wouldn't dare do that anywhere else though. Perks of coming back to your hometown though and working! LOL Nobody knows what the heck Louboutin is here anyways. I highly doubt many people in Ohio really do. :roflmfao:

Where do you practice, like what city or state, if you don't mind me asking? I won't be doing surgery as I don't think I have the magic hands for it. hehe

And, did you end up buying those Louboutins? Which ones did you get? I got the turtle patent decolletes from him, but I have to get them heat stretched a bit as I think my left toe may become seriously hurt if I continue to subject them to a couple of the Decolletes I own. ;) Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post your info here.

I so know what you mean about studying in your good shoes. Sometimes when I am tired and frustrated and ready for my two girls to be asleep, I pretend like I am going to the bathroom (which is a 50% guarantee of privacy) and try on a pair of cute shoes I haven't gotten a chance to wear yet.

And yes, I did win the turtle patent peanut wedges for $400. Since they are new shoes retailing for $625 on netaporter I am a little apprehensive but I am hoping for the best on that one and on the $280 NM yoyo slingbacks!!

I practice general surgery in Birmingham Alabama but did my training in Boston and went to high school and college up north. (Suffice it to say, my husband owes me big time) So I am a short not that southern left handed female surgeon in the land of tall blond men. Doesn't bother me one bit though!! Thats what stepstools are for. It's good to be different. See ya!

Love it...I also work with mostly men as I am a structural engineer and often have to tell them what is wrong with their little building. LOL
