I'm not sure I can do these. I need to see more of the way the lining is put in and finished and that it's leather. You can also take them to a local cobbler to find out. They look good to me but that interior label is so badly put in that it's throwing me but I also find that their outsourced shoes are not IMO finished the way they should be. The reason that I don't do Asian footwear (with a few exceptions) is my expertise is the "usual" ability to tell Asian production from Italy, Spain and France so when a "designer" shoe is made in Asia, even if it's authentic, it still looks like Asian product (e.g. counterfeit IMO) to me. I do own a ton of Prada, both Italian and Asian (don't get me started) so post some more pictures and I'll look. That label stitching is really a mess. Is there a "made in" stamp somewhere? Please look carefully. By law, it must be in the shoe although it could be buried and in a very small font.

I searched high and low, but there is no made in country label. I took the flashlight and looked all the way through the shoe to make sure I wasn't missing it. I agree about the label inside, but the finishes on the shoe are so good that I don't know what to think. Shoe is definitely leather throughout. Prada Milano label is sewn on the tongue (not glued). Rivets look hammered in and are not flimsy at all. The shoes are stitched throughout. I've posted some more pics. Thanks again for your help.

I understand but still need to see the photos i requested of the interior seaming. Post a few and definitely show me the interior area where the lining of the back at the heel meets the lining of the side. Check your pictures before posting them and make sure they are focused and close.

Thank you. The only reason I was worried is because the bottom of the jewel has some discoloration/rust. Do you still think it's authentic? Is this normal?

It would help enormously if authentication requests adhered to requested details in the first post of this thread. Thank you.

I do not own any of the hangisi with pearls. It's possible he attaches them differently than the rhinestone buckles so I can't really comment on what you see. The seller was amiss in the e-bay listing, they should have been sold as, New With Defects.
