Authenticate Those SHOES

[audreylita]

Hi Ladies!

I just bought a Manolo Blahnik Hangisi from a fairly well-known Singaporean (I live in Singapore) website, which sells designer goods. I just received the shoes and there are a few things that I would like to check with you all.
1. The box came with the Manolo Blahnik label in grey (instead of black). I placed a couple of pictures, including the dustbag
2. The label on the insole of the shoe does not have the trademark R, but I suppose this is fine because I have seen the Hangisi shoes on Barneys (and a few other reputable sites) without the trademark R
3. I also haven't seen close-ups of how the bejewelled buckle is attached. I have taken a pic of mine and I could kind of see how it was glued on / attached. It's not very obvious and I am not sure if I'm being too nitpicky.

I would love to know your take on these pictures. If there is any doubt at all of its authenticity, I will be returning the shoes.

Thanks,

Marielli

Authentic IMO. This is exactly how the rhinestone buckles are attached to all the hangisi's. And I have one of these boxes with gray lettering as well, came with my denim 4" hangisi pumps, it's the only one I have so likely it's a limited edition box. Enjoy!

Apologies in advance - i can see some of my pet's shedding on some of the pics!

I think they look fine but wait for Audreylita who owns the shoe in multiple colors. I don't wear Blahnik but do understand shoe construction. Thanks Audreylita for posting that Blahnik usually uses water snake. Makes sense as I believe that python is illegal in CA which is such a huge market for him.

Thank you so much, audreylita! Checked with my local boutique as well and they use the same box. What a relief. I hope the shoes are not very high maintenance but it seems like maybe it is, given the satin material. Really appreciate your feedback!

I have several pairs of the satin and not one of them has a snag.

Hi, I posted to the authenticate this Gucci thread initially but think I will have better luck here. I am new to this forum, so if you need additional info, please let me know.
Name: Tall Gucci boots (not sure what type)
Site: Purchased off TRR consignment site
Pics: Taken by me
Additional info: Listed in good condition (used), resoled. I am skeptical, honestly. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I also have a pair of Chloe loafers I need authenticated.
Brand: Chloe
Site: TRR
Pics: Taken by me
Additional Info: I believe they were listed in good or very good condition, used. They were not listed as resoled, but look like they were. The stitching looks pretty authentic as does the hardware. What concerns me is the font, which is different than the current Chloe font. Did it change at some point? Ugh, I hope not .

The boots look fine to me but please also post a picture with the shoe in profile and a picture of the interior label

Hi guys. This is my first time doing this. Was looking for your help to authenticate this pair of sergio rossi butterfly. Seller confirmed twice that it is authentic but after getting the shoes and comparing with pics on internet, I am not sure... I have a feeling I bought a knock off... thanks in advance for your help

More pics for your reference. Thanks in advance!!

Sorry but I can't authenticate those without having them in hand. Too much reflection for me and I cannot see how they are lasted. Can you post a straight profile picture with the shoe on the floor and the heel and toe touching the floorboard (wall)? Shoot from straight over to avoid distortion. I still may not have an opinion but I can at least see how they're lasted. You can take them to your local shoe repair and ask if all elements (except the heel) are leather-lining, insole, sole. They must all be leather. I don't like the way the logo stud is attached but that is not enough to make a call. You also should post a macro setting picture of that stud. Apologies that I'll probably pass on these but hopefully someone who owns them will post.

A simple google search of this shoe shows clear differences. Agreed detailed macro photos are needed, also a link to the original listing would be helpful.
