Authenticate Those SHOES

Isn't the label backwards and the back lasting isn't clean. With respect to all, I can't authenticate those. When a fabric shoe is lasted on rubber it's much more difficult to see construction faults compared to leather but those are IMO a mess. Thanks BB for reposting. I can never pull ended listings.

Forget my rubber comment-just looked on a larger screen but the labels are backward.
 
I did not see the backwards label, I think it may be time for new readers! Authentication for this and so many other things is easy when you have an authentic item in one hand and a faux in the other because the weight of an item is critical. This is a weighty shoe by all accounts, most Roger Vivier shoes are heavier than other brands, they often slip off my feet because of this but I wear them anyway.
 
Audreylita-Don't beat yourself up. You're an amazing asset to this board. We all miss stuff but there's just no way that pair could have made it through a retailer, let alone a production check. I agree that pictures will never be the same as having the item in hand and that's one of the reasons I try and really look at how the shoe is made.

Agree that IMO they cannot be authentic.
 
Hi, could you pls authenticate these RV? The seller has 100% positive feedback but RV has US size on the bottom? Thanks in advance!

Can you provide a link to the listing?


I can't comment on authenticity (that's Audreylita's and Shuze's areas of expertise) but I would think that the seller's ID of goodwill723 's selling ID could be challenged by the charity Goodwill Industries because it's so similar and can be mistaken to the various Goodwill ebay sellers as one of their charitable IDs.
 
I already bought it so I think the item was already removed? I have the shoes on my hand right now.

I personally have never seen a wood stacked heel on a Roger Vivier so I'm guessing they are vintage. Otherwise they have the hallmarks for what appears to be authentic. Please anyone feel free to chime in on this heel.

I was thinking the same thing. Plus not somewhere I would not trust authenticiation of high end goods.
