No one seems to have replied to you so here's my opinion and take it as an opinion only. The reason I don't authenticate molded footwear is because it is virtually impossible to distinguish a well done secondary mold from a primary (authentic) mold if the shoe is copied correctly. The only possible differences will be a very slight diminishing of detail and a hair of difference in size. A well done mold will be virtually indistinguishable from authentic product unless you have authentic product in the same size to compare point by point or at the least, a near size for comparison. Hopefully someone who owns the shoe can comment but all that aside, they look cleanly done to me and the seller's Fords are IMO authentic so I think you're most likely OK on them.

Just and FYI, see Shuze's note to another auth request for a molded shoe. It's the reason I don't do sneakers. Without having the time in hand, it can be really hard to tell.

Thanks JetSetGo. I now understand that I can authenticate nonlisted shoes but my personal feelings on molded footwear stay as posted. It's really impossible to tell without comparing to a known authentic item and i don't own those but someone here must and hopefully they'll post. Like the Valentino flips the Chanels look very clean to me and the camellia appears well formed but I really don't want to guess at authentication which IMO defeats the whole point of volunteering here. I may make mistakes (although I try my best not to) but I'm making a rule for myself that if I'm not 100% I'll pass on giving an opinion.

TOTALLY understand and I agree. The textures look right, but without holding them in my hands, I would not say for sure one way or the other.

You rock! :flowers:
