Authenticate Those SHOES

Before I read your above comment about not posting real items I had some photos of mine for comparison that I’ve since removed. I can’t imagine how that got past their authentication team. Maybe it helps that I own the real thing and am rather familiar, but I’d like to think even if I didn’t I would know better. That makes me so nervous to purchase things I know less about, or that’s harder to authenticate like bags and RTW. So disappointing.

edit: I sent a rather strongly worded email to The Real Real. Let’s see if they do anything.
I’m appalled that those came from RR. Sorry that you have to deal with this. I’d demand a further discount on a future purchase beside a full refund. There is no acceptable excuse.
 
Even the soles are off? Is this just an older model or the laziest fake?

These shoes are terrible fakes, definitely not authentic.

Sorry for the OT but I wasn't at all surprised to see this. TRR - TheReaLReal has a long history of mistakes and worse, reselling those fakes after they were returned as such!

In fact, the following thread was one I started after they sold a fake Coach, took back the return, and knowing it's fake, relisted the same item. And they'd done it before and since my thread. (A forum search of "fake TRR" shows a lot of errors.)

Many of your photos are repetitive and don't show key photos needed, please refer to the first post of this thread for info. Photos of the back of the shoe, interior heel showing seams and stitching, all needed for proper authentication. Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you so much for the reply. Sorry about the repetitive photos in my previous post. In addition to the photos in my previous post, here are more photos of the shoe. Hopefully these are sufficient.IMG_8538.jpg 64319767-6854-41FB-BB59-E3DE04B62107-1476-000001051875A305.jpeg 10E6F7BA-AF8C-4553-933D-3E6A29532966-1476-000001051AC33A5C.jpeg 2420CBD1-4C56-4C73-B93D-AB1C723D85CA-1476-000001051CF000B1.jpeg IMG_8539.jpeg B1C4A14F-D5B2-444E-9F62-4563538A87E4-1476-000001050CF53B53.jpeg 81352CE7-B1CB-4030-9670-F4804486423E-1476-000001051EF08329.jpeg IMG_8535.jpeg IMG_8537.jpeg Thank you for being patient with me, I really appreciate it :)

I'm honestly not sure. Perhaps someone else can weigh in.
 
May I get some help with these Chanel slingbacks? Mercari’s authentication service deemed them as authentic, but I just wanted to double check.

Item: Chanel Slingbacks
Seller: Lenore_l

I am unable to authenticate these shoes based on the photos provided. I am also unfamiliar with Mercari's authentication process. These shoes may in fact be fine. But a quick google search gave me pause when I saw that they've had 1,189 complaints on the BBB Better Business Bureau site.

I purchased a pair of Christian Louboutin Suede Ankle boots and would like to know if they are authentic.
Your help is appreciated.
