Authenticate Those SHOES

My lovely husband purchased me some Manolo Blahnik's off ebay after I said I like them, they arrived today and I am not convinced they are authentic, as the stamp on the bottom looks different to the one I already have. Any help would be much appreciated.

Audreylita seems to be away but I believe she would agree that there are no where near enough pictures. Please refer to the first page for needed pics for the future and add closeup focused shots of the interior, label, and lining showing the area where the side lining meets the heel lining. Thanks

And the link to the e-bay auction would be helpful as well. Thank you.

Also, Manolo uses a variety of stampings on the soles of his shoes.
 
Sorry! Here are some more pictures, I hope these help, I don't have my husbands password for ebay so I can't get the link till he is home.

I'll wait for the link. I personally own many of his BB heels (which is what this appears to be) and all of my innersoles are glued in whereas this one is stitched. That said, I do have the occasional MB heel that for some reason does have a stitched in innersole. So I'm a little thrown and would like to see the original listing. Everything else on the shoe at this point looks good but I would like to see the listing. Thanks.
 
Thank you for your help.

Husband won't be home till tomorrow, here is the old item number if that helps! Not the one he used I don't think! There were from eBay.

It's the stitching and the stamp which has thrown me as my other pair the stamp is completely different.

Wish we'd gone to the choo outlet at Bicester now - but these match my dress so well.

The stamp in the shoe or on the sole?
 
the stamp is different and on my other pair is a R after the Manolo Blahnik
I really don't want to interact on a question that audreylita has been responding to and no one knows Blahnik better than she does but I'll tell you that the R is NOT on all shoes so why don't you wait a bit and give her a chance to get back to you since it was a holiday here in the US.

I own about a dozen pairs of BB's and none of them have an R on them. There are consistently differences in the stampings and having or not having an R is immaterial to authenticity. We judge his shoes by other standards. Trust me I've been buying his shoes since the 80's and have seen many changes.

As an aside, my avatar is a Manolo shoe that was named after me. The shoe came in several colors and fabrics. None of them bear the letter R. I saw a site that sold knock offs of Manolo's shoes and was amused that they'd knocked off my shoe so I ordered a pair. I just looked at that shoe and that one does have the R and it's a knock off.
