I’ll do some, not all and those cannot be authenticated without several detailed interior pictures showing stamping and finishing.

Thank you for the reply! Would you autheticate these if I ask the seller for the pictures? Where should she take the pictures showing the finishing from - which part of the shoe? I'm sorry, I just never authenticated a shoe pair before

Hi there, tank you for your swift response. Apologies for not adding side views. I have included them here for authenticity. Hope this helps.

Hi, I've added the side views can you please confirm if your opinion they are authentic. Thanks so much!

A side profile would have been helpful but I believe they are authentic IMO.

Maybe. Not sure. Please post photos (and review them first for clarity) of the insole logo, any stamping on the interior and the interior area where the lining at the back (heel) meets the side and along the top interior seam.

I commented on your Coach post starting here. There are several anomylies that make the boots questionable for reselling because there's no way to prove authenticity. There's never been any type of evidence showing that Coach has ever made any items (as samples, employee sales or prototypes) with either 00000 or 99999 as style numbers on creeds. I've never seen any footwear item with a creed, never seen the type of sole stamp (genuine leather) as your boots have.

I don’t comment earlier as beenburned is the Coach expert here but those are really odd to me. I don’t understand that numerical code and they could not have been samples in an 8. Samples are 6-7 depending on the company and catalogue samples are 9-10. Those two holes are from a brand plate that came off-you can see the discoloration.

BB-does Coach use plates?

Comments in answer to @shuze:
1. The boots she posted were a 6. (The picture with the size 8 sole was from a pair of my own leather-soled Coach footwear to show what I believe the sole is supposed to look like.)
2. I've never seen the type of "genuine leather" imprinted on the sole of any Coach footwear as shown in LaPaloma55's picture from the post I'd quoted.
3. It's possible they may have used plates but it wouldn't have been in the asymmetrical shape as shown by the discoloration; it would have been in the cartouche shape as shown in my own example.

As for the reference to samples, that is the "story" that sellers of questionable bags we've seen with odd serial numbers. I many cases, the "samples" and "prototype" items have been found to be fake, with date codes being years before Coach would have made those styles.

In the case of the OP's boots, the prefix of the serial number being all zeroes makes no sense and without any proof or explanation, there's no way to prove the boots to be genuine.

While some of the elements of the boots do appear to be what Coach may have made, without any way to verify that Coach did make the boots, they can't be authenticated.

I hope that clarifies it a bit more.

@BB TY. Saw the 8 and got totally confused. No idea but they probably do sample 6. The only two reasons that I can think of to put holes in the sole are either to attach a plate or to stop companies in theory from bringing in shoe samples duty free and then selling them down the road but those punches go all the way through the sole.

Completely agree that I don’t see how they can be authenticated.

Authentic IMO

Thanks so much. They are the softest leather and seem like they are going to be super comfy. Thanks so very much for your time. I'm incredibly grateful.

Yes, authentic. Not a newer model but classic non the less. Enjoy!
