The girl who wanted to buy the shoes canceled the order. I guess she isn't sure about the shoes either.

I'm not going to list any of the shoes I have on ebay. I just can't be sure that they are authentic and as long as I'm not sure, I just don't feel right selling them. I'll probably just donate them or give them to a friend or family member. I appreciate all the help you guys gave me. Thanks so much for everything! :smile1:

Here are some more photos. I hope they help. The photos aren't great; I tried with flash and without and what I'm posting is the best of my feeble abilities, lol.

I have two questions for you. Do you know of a good place to authenticate the shoes professionally (one that doesn't charge a ton of money), and, assuming the shoes are genuine, what would be a good price to list them as?

Thanks in advance!

Ugh, well here's the link to the whole album. Hopefully this will work: http://s1219.photobucket.com/user/merockssocks/library/Roger Vivier Shoes?sort=3&page=1

Between my eyes and your pictures, I'm going to suggest that you wait for Audreylita. The linings look OK to me. I really look more at how the shoe is made so the outside and upper of the shoe don't usually tell me a whole lot as that's the easiest part to copy. I haven't owned Vivier since Roger was still alive so wait for Audreylita who wears them but I think they're OK.

Sorry but I know nothing about pricing. That isn't discussed here. I also don't know what board policy is on recommending professional authenticators so wait for others.

Can someone help me to authenticate those Valentino Rockstud's please?
I've found them on depop.com website, therefore there is no item number etc
There is a link: http://help.garage.me/en/rachjessx/valentino-rock-stud-heels-size-2

You can post on the Valentino thread but I'm happy to look at them but need more pictures. If there are more on the link I can't open them. If you're the buyer please post clear detailed pictures of the sole stamp, the shoes in profile on it's side, the lining and the underside of the heel.

I am so sorry. I agree that leather soling should not peel like that. Can you take them to a shoemaker and doublecheck the material? Sometimes it is difficult to tell without having them in hand but I thought that they looked OK but one wearing should not do that to the soling.

Please don't apologise!
I totally understand the difficulty, and am by no means angry.
I'm thinking they are fake as they were terribly uncomfortable after only a few hours, it felt like there wasn't enough support between the sole of my foot and the ground.
I will take them to see what a shoemaker says though but either way I won't wear them again! Ouch!

Thank you so much
:)
