And I know that too but I would like to continue this conversation in an appropriate place if there is such a thing. The topic of authenticators who authenticate a single (or small number) of labels vs. those who authenticate by understanding and being able to differentiate problems of construction is obviously near and dear to me and I don't consider one better than the other regardless of whether authentication is free or charged but from the comments posted it seems that you guys do and when it comes to a paid service an authenticator is best label specific. That's all I'm disagreeing with. I don't think you have to be expert on a specific label to give an expert opinion on designer footwear authenticity if you're expert on how footwear is made but you do need to be expert on how fine footwear should be made.

Oh my, just read all the last posts. Certainly wasn't referring to shuze at all. Her knowledge of shoes is obvious. This company that the original poster referenced authenticates everything including shoes, purses, jewelry, sunglasses, belts, watches . . . from every designer which is listed from A to Z on their site.

My comment was taken completely out of context and I do apologize for any misunderstanding. That is the problem with copy on a computer screen or texts as well, things can be interpreted in a way that the writer did not intend.

I Know you were referring to them and not me but the whole point is that the statement applied to me too LOL. I know you read my shock when I asked who authenticated those but I just don't ever want to do jellies as there are very good counterfeits. That was not one of them.

And again, I totally agree that anyone who authenticated every category better be expert in the production of all of them and I know of no one who can do that. I'll stick with shoes and a couple of leather houses which is broad enough for me.

Please authenticate this pair of Prada sandals? I would appreciate it so much!
This is the pair i purchased:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/262022176791
This is the actual sandal:
http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/Prada-Multi-Stone-Satin-Ankle-Wrap-Sandal-Sandals/prod71860055/p.prod

I noticed the Ebay listing has excessive stones on the front strap. Also, there is a sole padding on the back of the sandal from Bergdorf's. I'm starting to second guess my purchase. The seller has numerous negative reviews from customers who've said he shipped fake items. Please help me, thank you! :smile1:


Edit 1:
I am adding extra pictures the seller sent after i requested them:

Hi Guys! Long time lurker, it's really about time I signed up!

I got a bit click happy, I should have checked on here first.

What do we think about these babies? I'm concerned about that leather icon but I know these shoes have been around a long time and I'm not sure if that could be normal for some.

Any assistance greatly appreciated!

These arrived today, they look ok to me compared to other vintage shoes I own but I don't have any in this brand.

Any thoughts?
