Hey guys!
My neighbor next door moved out and sold me her old Fiorentini Baker boots for just half the price. I bought them since they looked absolutely fine. She bought them around 2008/09 in Italy. Has anyone has boots without the Logo on the outer sole and the Graving on the buckle? Since they are made in Italy and she bought them there, my concern is that they could be fake. What do you think?

The imprint inside the leather is there. Something that’s also been bothering is the missing zig zag stitching like here

Does anyone own a pair of F+B bought before 2010 or do you know if F+B changed things regarding production? Couldn’t find anything helpful on the net.

You need to post the pictures. Some of us won’t open links beside the fact that it’s a pain to keep going back and forth if needed. I’ll check back.

Item Name: Manolo Blahnick Hangisi
Link: none
Seller: Nordstrom Rack
Comments: I was lucky to score a pair of deeply discounted low heel Manolo Blahnik from Nordstrom Rack, but when I tried them on, they are about 1/2 or 1 size bigger than my other pair of 105 mm Blahnik. I have heard stories of people returning fake shoes to the store and wonder if this is one of them, please help me authenticate, thanks.

Authentic. His sizes are not always consistent, I own Hangisi's in 38 and 38 1/2 and they all fit me the same. Shoes are authentic and lovely. I've never seen that color, they're beautiful!
Hi everyone,
I just received these gorgeous crystal studded shoes yesterday. But I have questions regarding the authenticity as I bought it from a 3rd party seller.
I have not seen this style in the color and particular materials from Sergio Rossi. The box indicated 2014 but I couldn't find any info/photo of this pair anywhere.
The only closest I've seen so far was in satin instead of velvet for toes and heels areas.
And the closest match shows nude instead of black color suede where all those crystals are.
Lastly, the closest match shows nude instead of black insole.
I compared it with my other Sergio Rossi shoes, the outsole is beige vs my other SR's grey outsole.
Lastly, SR usually provides a pair of heel studs for replacement. This pair of shoes seemed to be brand new in box, but it's lacking that heel studs replacement.
I've been thinking about it overnight. I can't decide if this pair of shoes is authentic and if I should keep or return.
The other pair of shoes I bought from this same 3rd party seller (arrived in the same parcel) has got heel studs replacement. However, that pair of shoes have to go back because they are severely dented at the heels area AND the right side of the shoes shows the patent top is almost cracking! The outsole of that particular shoe is a little worn. I would guess the right side of the shoes was the show piece on shelf in a boutique, hence the left side of the shoes is still looking mostly good (also got a slight dent at the heel area). I talk about this pair that I intend to return because I feel conflicted to determine the crystal studded pair's authenticity. I mean, what are the chances that while one pair is (seemingly) authentic while the other pair is not?
Please help me decide if I should keep this pair of crystal studded SR. Thank you very much in advance.
P.S. not sure if these info will help:
The crystal studded pair came with 6 different sizes when I made my purchase!
In the same listing, all the other shoes from SR were only left odd sizes.
E.g. the other pair I bought but already decided to return due to the condition was only left ONE pair in ONE size (which was bought by me).

Oh oh!! Authenticity aside, the workmanship and materials are really good.
My 5 senses tell me yes it's authentic
But my 6th sense has doubts.
Maybe need to see evidence of its existence in the SR collect of 2014 to be sure... Lol
I would appreciate any thoughts about authenticity regarding these LV loafers. Many thanks!

Hello ladies, I recently bought a pair of Chanel flats, and I was wondering if anything could help me authenticate it?
Item Name: Chanel Quilted Flats
Serial #: AG26250
Thank you so much!

Thank you @audreylita. My friend also pointed out that the carving 'hand made in Italy', the 'i' in Italy should be capital I, is that true? Thanks again
Yes I see that and don't know why it's not a cap. But as with all his shoes the stamping on the soles is not consistent and the size and name and made in italy are placed differently. I have more configurations on the soles of his shoes than I can count. It's just what he does.
I need to see a really focused picture of the insole and all interior stamping and a really tight picture of the area where the interior heel lining meets the side lining. You’ll have to spread the back to get the picture.
