Bump! Anyone? Anyone? Are these authentic? I never heard back from anyone on this.
 
Re: Dior flats. Sorry, I don't think you're being ignored. It seems that only two of us respond on this board and I've already said that I can't give an opinion on these. Can you post a better picture of the side lining where it meets the heel lining? Really close up and focused. Also, the sole looks synthetic. Is it? If so then they are definitely counterfeit. You can try scratching the sole. Leather will scratch while synthetic will just dent and pop back. They're not well balanced or wrapped IMO. If I didn't say it before, take them to a shoemaker and ask if all interior materials and soling are leather, If anything in the interior (beside the label) is not leather, then they are counterfeit.
 
Hi, I bought the gianvito rossi plexi pumps on eBay, but I found there are some differences (logo inside the shoe and the logo on the sole) from this pair tothe ones I bought from neiman. Also the stitches near the heel in the left shoe is not in the middle(last picture ).. Are they good?

Thank you for responding. I think I have a picture of the sole on my posts numbered 9192 and 9193. They're on page 613, here: http://forum.purseblog.com/threads/...s-read-1st-page-before-posting.32044/page-613
My guess is that they probably are not real, but since I know next to nothing about designer shoes, I thought I'd get the opinion of you smart ladies first. Again, thanks for responding.

Can't do it off those pictures and prob can't because of the plastic. If you can take a very clean clear picture spreading the interior back showing the lining and how it is finished and another showing how it is attached to the plastic on the interior, maybe. As I've always stated you can also take them to a shoemaker to check if any of the interior materials are synthetic as a genuine pair will have all leather linings and insole. Sorry but that's the best I can do. Maybe someone lurking will post.

Thank you @shuze, I have some more pictures. The last two pic with black heel are mine(from neiman).Can you check these pictures for me? And I will check with shoemakers today. If I can't find a shoemaker is it ok to check with cobblers? Thanks!ImageUploadedByPurseForum1467981464.530722.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1467981474.797906.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1467981487.323477.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1467981501.516389.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1467981515.502030.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1467981529.184989.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1467981544.993416.jpg

Those pictures were definitely what I asked for and I don't like the way they're finished and stitched but I still don't want to make a call on them because of the vinyl. Take them to a cobbler and have him check interior materials and if everything is leather they're probably OK as I have yet to see a fully leather lined and insoled counterfeit.

Thank you @shuze, I checked with a cobbler this afternoon and I was told everything is leather. Does it mean probably the shoes are authentic?

And as you said, I don't like the way they are stitched either.

Again, can't authenticate without having them in hand but in my experience Asian counterfeits always use synthetic interior materials so yes, I think you're probably fine but like you I am disappointed in the finishing at those price points but that is just my personal opinion.
 
Hello I just received these shoes but they just don't feel right. Wanted to post pics and see if they are authentic. Also the K seems to be almost missing on the bottom of the shoe, is this normal?

A weak strike is nothing unusual which is one of the problems of authenticating by font depth although consistency is more the norm. Wait for Audreylita who wears the label. Just double check that the sole is leather as I'm not home and on a small screen but the interior looks good to me. Scratch the sole with your nail and check that it scratches rather then dents.
