I'm so sorry but IMO there is no way to authenticate molded footwear unless you have them in hand against a known authentic pair and i don't own those for comparison. I don't see anything suspect though and the one thing you can do is to run your hands over the petals. The copies do not finish the edges for smoothness.
 
Hi! Is anyone able to authenticate these Prada oxfords for me? I don't know the name of the style either

thanks! :smile:I'm just kind of thrown off because on the Prada website the logo on the interior looks like this. Is it possible that the logo varies even on the same style? :confused1:

Wow-that's enough to drive anyone nuts and give any authenticator a stroke....BUT, before you flip out (and I give up authenticating) know that there was absolutely positively an earlier version of that shoe with a stamped insole. So, no, there should not be variance on the same style but I'm pretty sure that Prada just changed the specs on the later production. Seeing the fabric label really threw me too. I just looked again and not only does everything look clean and correct but that shoe was a bear to make and if it was knocked there's no way it could be that clean and lined in leather. You may want to contact the company to verify what I've posted and I'm shooting myself for not buying them as there were two pair at the outlet over a year ago in my size and they were $150-runway samples. They are beautiful!

Remember too that yours are preowned from the minimal wear on the sole so that means that they most likely were from that earlier group.

Thanks so much! I hope to one day be so knowledgable too. Mine were 150 as well, haha :biggrin:
 
Hello! Are these Prada sandals too well-worn for authentication? I would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you!
