Usually when the sole is very damaged and the insole is immaculate, that’s a big red flag.

Hello Shuze and Audreylita,
Please help with authentication of LV boots. I have also attached an additional photo sent to me by the seller. The thing that bothers me most is the LV Made in Italy logo on the bottom of the outside sole.
Happy Holidays to you both and many many thanks for your time and expertise!!!!!

I need more pictures. The listing is useless. Please post clear closeup pictures of the interior stamping including the datecode and the insole. Also the boot on the side and the finishing of the lining.
 
Based on the few photos provided they appear to be authentic. And as Shuze stated, more photos of the detailing would be preferable.
Finally revived the heels in the mail!
I took these few photos

Manolo Blahnik Hangisi Flats

Seller: Bought at an estate sale.

Comments: Needing these Hangisi flats to be authenticated please but this will be a difficult task as they were severely damaged. The areas of concern for me is the glue on the brooch attachment and how the brooch is attached. The font on the inside label (particularly the fact that the “A” in Manolo is different than the “A)” in blahnik when you zoom in) and the font on the bottom sole (seems very small to me especially the made in part). These shoes were extremely damaged due to a house flood. They were taken to the Restory in London for refurbishment where they did some regluing to the inner sole as leather had peeled up. They did some reshaping to the structure of the shoe due to the water damage but one can still see the misshapen structure/form especially around heel. They also attached new heels and a toe piece to cover the satin that had rubbed off. They did not do any work on the brooch part.

Thanks in advance :smile:
