Authenticate Those SHOES

Can someone please authenticate this! thank you!
Format for private sales:
Item: Nude Jelly Sandals
Seller: A friend
History: Bought it from a professional reseller online

I don't do jellies, sorry. Almost impossible to authenticate a molded shoe without having it in hand and even then it's questionable. I will say that those look extremely clean and I don't see anything suspicious but that's as far as I can go. I don't think Audreylita does them either but wait and see.

Great post with good info. She's in Russia but for those of us in the states, Leather Spa in NYC are magicians at repairing patent leather heels. They have fixed not only my patent but also suede heels to the point that you would never know there'd ever been a problem. I used them when I lived in NY and now mail order my repairs. They have everything set up on the site for mail ins. These guys are genius.
And, for those of us on the other coast, Jack at Progressive in Beverly Hills is amazing IMO. My post was really directed to those who are buying preowned shoes on a budget and aren't able to use professional repair.

BTW I'm sure there are many terrific cobblers on the west coast and was merely stating who I use when I don't do it myself. Anything structural is totally beyond me but I've pretty much mastered simple cut repair LOL.

Hi Hangisi lovers,

I need help authenticating these cobalt blue Hangisis. It is my first pair I'd like to try before investing in brand new ones. Thanks

Here is the link

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Manolo-Blahnik-Hangisi-40-Cobalt-Blue-/192174130791?ul_noapp=true&nma=true&si=7Kpnyjf2Zv8eHLIYaEny35R1hto%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

please help. thanks
Could you please take close ups of the stitched seam on the outside satin on inner part of shoe, inside where the leather meets the suede, and the heel stitching where there appears to be a blue tab? Thank you.
 
Has anyone heard of the classic Gucci horsebit loafer in black leather with black horsebit (instead of silver or gold)? I bought a pair recently and everything about it checks out (serial number along side, good quality leather, good stitching, made in Italy, etc.), but I can't find ANYTHING online about a black on black version.

Not all information about every style will be found online.

Post pictures of your shoes to have them authenticated based on the details of the shoes themselves.
 
Hello everyone and everyone, it's my first post here and I would like to get a help. Is this Manolo Blahnik original? Thank you.
