Authenticate Those SHOES

There are so many super fakes of this particular shoe coming out of China that it's difficult to authenticate it new with just photos. The shoes ultimately will never wear as well as authentic so after some use it's easier to tell a replica from the real thing. Additionally this is a popular shoe and continues to sell well so if you're looking at a discounted price of this model, you need to ask yourself why it's being sold below current retail.

Shoe Gurus please help authenticate.

questioning because "grain" feels different on these, esp on the tounge feels rougher & there is a rubber sole insert which is usually not there on JCs!?

Extra photos for detail.

Style : unknown, needs Id
Upper leather, sole leather with rubber insert

I don’t know this specific construction re: Jimmy Choo but the boot looks OK to me.

Comments: First pair of suede Chanel espadrilles, have been looking for this color combo for a while. I'm skeptical because of not receiving a box or any other paperwork. Stitching all looks good to me, but engraving on the inside is hard to tell because it's worn down a little bit. The suede is buttery soft and shoes are overall good quality and look well made. One of the shoes appears to have a tiny bit of a deviance on a straight line across the toe cap which could definitely be stretching from wear? Not major, but enough to make me say "hmmmm"

I'm also including pictures taken by me this morning. Thank you so much!!! IMG_9709.JPG IMG_9710.JPG IMG_9711.JPG IMG_9712.JPG IMG_9713.JPG IMG_9714.jpg IMG_9716.JPG

These shoes are not authentic IMO.
 
Are these authentic?

Appreciate your patience.

Hi again! Here are the pics of the soles! I think that’s all you needed? Please let me know what you think about the authenticity! Thank youView attachment 4645436
Neither of us want to guess at authentication opinions and the pictures are really not detailed enough as Audreylita has posted. We really need to see the interior stamping on both the upper and the insole.

I see nothing obviously wrong and I do own several pair of SW boots so if you buy them just post better pictures after you receive them if you have to make a fast decision.
