There is nowhere near enough detail for me on finishing or stamping but I see no obvious red flags and the seller has excellent history on luxury items. You can always request more pictures showing macro setting details of the sole stamp, lining details, platform wrap etc. and post them here.
Stuart Weitzman Lowland Black SuedeWhat I can see looks just fine but as you said, you need to post way more pictures showing the interior finishing and the sole. I need to see the insole imprint and the area where the back of the interior heel lining seams to the side lining. I don't need to see the box or any other element that could, in theory, have been switched out from the item being authenticated. Unattached materials should, IMO, never be considered. That being said, it makes perfect sense to me that this particular boot be shipped in a short box since it's suede with a textile lining and can easily be folded which is significantly more space and cost efficient. The shipping increases greatly for "oversize" packaging and that gets passed to the retailer first and then on to the retail customer. Most stock rooms (and closets) don't have enough space so small boxes when appropriate are a good thing IMO.
One more-roll them down and shoot the inside insole for me. I think they're fine.
Please post pictures in the format on page 1 with the original listing number. Make sure that there is a photo of the shoe on its side and one spreading the heel to show a better picture of the interior area where the heel lining meets the side lining.
I can go look at the boot on Wed. but perhaps others can look at theirs now. I don't own them but would think insoles are stamped. Hang in and I'll def. post by Thurs. unless you go to SW or elsewhere.
