Please authenticate these Lanvin! I have 2 pairs already and wanted a new black pair where the elastic wasn't as harsh... I just got these in the mail and I'm wondering if they're authentic or not. They're not as soft as my other pairs, the elastic is very weak (though comfortable, I did think it would be a little stronger), the heel is peeling off on the bottom, the glue seems to be less strong on the insole, there's a stitching snafu and the leather is very textured and thicker than my other pairs. They don't smell quite the same as my other two pairs, either, but these don't seem very worn and may have been stored differently than mine.

I'm not familiar with every kind of Lanvin flat so I'm not sure if that's just how these Ete ones are? I bought them from a very reliable consignment seller on ebay. I thought the stitching snafu, the leather thickness/texture and the heel peeling were odd (low quality glue?), but they are used, so I'm not sure.

Advice and input are very much appreciated!!

Could someone look at these Giuseppe Zanotti sandals for me? I have this style from years ago, but my have a different insole. Not sure if the different style of insole is because these are more newly made, or if they're fake.

Thank you so much!

Could you just post pictures of the shoes in question-the complete bottom, the inside, front and back view, side view. Ete just means summer-I have about a dozen pair of these, my two black pair are different from each other as they are different leathers, but I'd like a clearer set of pictures of the ones you are questioning. According to the tag, they are also 10 years old, so they could be different from your others, but I'd just like to be sure.

Please authenticate these Isabel marant Betty sneakers! Are they real? Does the Betty sole usually have that star mark on it? The inside label says made in China. View attachment 3004225View attachment 3004226 thank you!!

You will need to post some additional pictures of the actual sneakers, front, side, inside, etc. Some of these sneakers were made in China, so that in itself does not mean unauthentic.

On the YSL's

The first pair is a "You've got to be kidding". No clue on authenticity. No in focus pictures showing any detail.

The second (ankle strap) is authentic IMO. I'd like to see the sole stamping but I can see everything else and they look right to me. If you buy them post the sole stamp when you get them but again, IMO they're fine.

And just for clarity, the "you've got to be kidding" is directed at the seller of the shoes on ebay because the pictures are so crappy, right?

Yes, the pictures are crappy. No idea if they are authentic or not and cannot imagine how anyone could possibly tell anything about the shoe or expect anyone else to know anything about the shoe.
