I'm not sure what to say here as there are not enough pictures for a true authentication. At the least, a picture of the soling with a clear picture of the sole stamp should be included. However I can see enough to tell you that I would buy them for myself without a second thought.

thank audreylita. one more question to understand about manolo hangisi.
I see the area as images below. Sometime the suede stitch the lining. sometime the suede paste on the lining.
in the second position, the suede is on over the lining or the lining is on over the suede.
many thanks
You have to remember that most true luxury footwear is finished by hand and humans are not calibrated machines. A touch of overdye is nothing and Blahnik uses both stitched quarters (that back area you're asking about) and glued quarters. You can find the same shoe made both ways depending on the factory. One is not considered better than the other although I personally prefer glued quarters as I can sometimes feel the stitching.
Thank you so much for your input Shuze - I think along with my own thoughts that's given me the motivation I needed to buy! Thank you

Hi, guys! I am asking again for your help to find out if these Gianvito Rossi are real or not. I found them on depop and I am a bit worried about the black insole. I thought that Gianvito makes them only in cream. I have a pair which I bought from Stanley Korshak ant the insoles are cream. I am sorry but I really don't know luxury brands well. I only have these four pics and I know that they are not the ones required but I hope they will help you in some way! Thank you in advance!I need more pictures. I see nothing wrong from what I can see but given that I too am used to light insoles I need to see a closeup of the sole stamping and the way the back is lined and finished at the vinyl side.
hi Shuze/Audreylita , i accidentally clogged up the Gucci subforum with this request, not knowing that all shoe authentications must be posted here, unless they are Louboutin's or Valentino's. If you can help out, i'd really appreciate it. Many thanks

Comments: In love with the "Frame" loafer and was wondering if you can offer advice on fit? I have tried on size 38 which is my normal Italian size and it was way too big (read: too long and too much space in front of toes) .Wondering if i should go with 37.5 or 37. I have a wide-ish forefoot so if i'm doing lots of walking, wondering whether the 37 will end up too tight. Have you experience with this seller? Kind thanks

Shoes are authentic but this is an authentication thread and questions on fit etc. need to be posted separately on other Glass Slipper threads. You can do a search to see if your question has already been addressed or start a new one. In general, I agree that Gucci runs full and I, too, downsize from what I consider my usual Italian size but best to talk to others who own the specific style.

I own them and everything looks absolutely correct but for a true authentication you should request a picture of the interior stamping. If that picture is not available, I personally would buy them as authentic but would suggest you post a picture upon receipt.
