Your pictures are not detailed or close up enough. Please post the original listing plus clear focused pictures of the shoe in profile, upclose sole stamp, interior lining showing side and heel lining and where they meet. Take all stuffing out too. Thanks
I really try and avoid commenting on espadrilles but yours look fine to me.Hello! I was wondering if you could help authenticate these Chanel espadrilles.
I’m pretty good at spotting fake purses/slgs but not too familiar with shoes. Thank youView attachment 3905590View attachment 3905591View attachment 3905592View attachment 3905593 View attachment 3905595View attachment 3905596View attachment 3905598View attachment 3905600View attachment 3905601 View attachment 3905602
No need to post more pictures. Just got my computer back and looked again as I have trouble seeing on my phone. Those Ferragamos are definitely counterfeit IMO. You need to contact your seller.
Is this the listing?

I suspect the seller knows the shoes are fake. THey're listed without the "Ferragamo" name and in the item specifics, she's got the brand as "handmade."
ETA: The seller has another pair of "handmade" Ferragamos.

IMO, this seller knows exactly what she's doing.

Would love the help of authenticating these Hermes Boots.
Item Name: Hermes Jumping Boots
Link (if available): N/A
Seller: Purchased in a NYC consignment shop
Comments: I would prefer not to mention which consignment shop, as they promised they would accept a return if not authentic, and I do not want to ruin their reputation. These are shorter than a pair I have from the boutique--the shaft is about 15.5" tall, and the strap is about 15.5" as well, but I suspect these were altered? Would love to know the type of leather if anyone knows!

I think you need to use a pro for these but you definitely need better focused pictures.
Thanks, @shuze ! I took these with my phone, but I do have a DSLR, so I'll stop being lazy and use that one for the photos.
Is there a shoe authentication service that you'd recommend?
Let’s see better pictures first. Really post very close up focused shots of the interior lining and insole and finishing at the seams. Also much better pictures of the hardware but I’m thinking that perhaps you should post the hardware pictures on the Hermes board and see what they say.
