Are these real? I'm hoping they are but this seller said pick your size when you pay so I'm thinking they aren't...

I had these shoes about 6 months ago before I sold them and from the photos everything is authentic. She lives in Troy, MI which is where a nice mall called the Somerset Collection is (I go shopping here lol) and they have a NM, Nordstrom, and Saks and also a Nordstrom Rack down the street. My pair was actually a charge send from a Nordstrom in California and I only paid $150 (retail $430) at the height of their popularity, and I know any pairs left went to a Nordstrom Rack so my guess is that she grabbed several sizes from her local NR. I was just in Troy last week so I guess I should have checked out that NR. lol

Depending on what size you are interested in, perhaps ask her for photos of that particular pair, mainly the bottom to see that she actually has the size, etc.?

My friend just purchased these without letting me post here first. Luckily the seller has a pretty generous return policy. Can someone please take a look at these and let us know whether they are authentic or not?

Hi there I'm posting for help in regards to these shoes I want to buy for my boyfriend. I am wondering if they are authentic Gucci.

I contacted the seller on eBay and he said he had received them as a gift but did not like them...and he thinks they are authentic as they came with a shoe bag, shoe box, & authenticity card.
I asked him to take extra pictures of the shoes etc and here they are included...
Any help will be appreciated in authenticating these shoes.

thanks in advance,
Eileen.

ps. the card pics are blurry and have asked for better ones but i haven't received a response yet, so this is what I've got right now.

^^^those are fake, sorry. Gucci shoes don't come with an "authenticity card" and there is a rainbow tint to it (3rd photo), which automatically makes it fake. Also, the box is way off.

So, DO NOT BUY THEM! I'm glad you asked before you did.

Thanks Ashakes.

Just wondering for future reference what constitutes legit vs fake Gucci when it comes to shoes?

a) What colour is the shoe box?
b) Does it always not come with an authenticity card?
c) Is there any strip or symbol that depicts its authenticity? (ex. silver strip, etc..)
d) Are there any other things to look out for when trying to see if a shoe is authentic?

Thanks, and I appreciate everyone's response.
Eileen.

^ Granted that this is a picture for women's shoes, it gives you an idea of what the box should look like:

As you can see though, the font on the fake box isn't even the Gucci font.

I believe Ashakes is saying that Gucci shoes NEVER come with an authenticity card. Although for reference, one should never use that as any sort of "proof" that something is authentic as those are faked all the time for fake Louis Vuitton and Prada bags.

Thanks blackbird. I appreciate all your help.

Hi
I am new to this forum. I recently purchased a pair of Prada shoes from a thrift store and so I have no idea if they are real or not. They are in totally new condition, they even had a part of the sale sticker on the bottom when I bought them. Does anyone know if they are real? I attached the photos using reply to this thread, I hope this is the right way to attach them.
Thanks so much, so glad I found this forum,
Fancyfrancie!

Sorry, I can't figure out how to post the pictures.

Are these authentic?
And is it true about the Vincini/Zanotti thing?
