Item: Manolo Blahnik Carolyne
Seller: ssfoley0821 on Ebay

Hey there, I just purchased these Manolos, and was wondering about their authenticity. A little concerned here as the shaft of the Carolyne is usually a little more rounded - let me know what you think. Thank you!

The pictures are really unfocused on the sole stamp but they look fine to me-just older. Can you post a few more focused pics when you get them?1

Authentic. There appears to have been some repair work somewhere, it looks like there's black dye on some edges of the soles. The satin is in excellent condition given the age of this shoe. Enjoy!
 
Hello! I need help authenticating these STUART WEITZMAN boots please. I purchased them for under $15 and I'm not sure if they are real. They have a leather sole, and the inside only says "STUART". There are no other markings (other than what's in the photos). The boot itself is a soft stretchy material that is almost like a velvet/gortex mix (if that makes any sense?). The heels are very solid. The boots are much heavier than what they look like they'd be. Unfortunately I cannot get inside the boots to take a photo of the "STUART" without possibly damaging it. I've looked online for weeks, and cannot find another pair exactly like them. I've found similar, but nothing exactly the same. If you have any information to help me, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much.

Hello! Not so long ago, I bought this pair of shoes from Jimmy Choo for a little money at a private sale. Unfortunately, I can’t leave any links now, but I would be very grateful if you could answer me and evaluate the authenticity of this pair!
Thank you!

Hello, I purchased these Manolos on TheRealReal but now that I’ve received them, I think the labels look completely different (one has serif, the other does not)...are these fake? https://www.therealreal.com/products/women/shoes/pumps/manolo-blahnik-suede-pointed-toe-pumps-O2Ei1HYRmn0. Thank you!
Both shoes appear to be legit. I own several of the BB's and some pair have the one font and some the other, all the same model of shoe. Really no clue why yours are one of each but they both are authentic based on the pictures shown, I would ask TheRealReal and see what they have to say. The shoes should feel identical in weight as well.

I’d bet that each was originally paired correctly with matching labels and at some point they were unpaired and mixed at retail by a customer trying to match up a better fitting pair in a retailer that had multiple pairs in the same size. Hate to admit that I’ve done that too. One guy cuts right on the line, another is slightly over or under so that there definitely can be variance pair to pair in fit. Usually it’s a non issue (since they’re not made in pairs to begin with) but these obviously screamed out since they had different authentic labels. I wouldn’t think twice about it if they fit you and you’re happy with them otherwise.
