I just purchased these YSL on mercari......they feel like and seem like fakes...but I don't know enough to go back and tell the seller they are...can you give me any advice on if these are fake and how you can tell. I have other ysl shoes and these have a black rubber bottom

Please reference the first post of this thread for information needed for authentication. A link to an auction site is also needed.
I apologize not all the pictures uploaded...unfortunately the link is no longer available for me to pull up....so this is all I have are the pictures. I have googled online how to spot a fake but all I can find are about YSL purses and optum shoe

Sorry for the chat BUT: Please wait for Audreylita’s opinion but IMO they’re fine. The reason they don’t look and feel like your other YSL’s IMO is because these are outsourced product. You can not compare Italian production (the usual country of luxury designer footwear with a few exceptions that are still made in France like Clergerie) with Spanish production (with all respect to Spain and I wear some Spanish labels) and yes there are some great shoes made in Spain but those factories IMO are never going to compete with Italy in hand or finishing. IMO fit is also different. Espadrilles and cork e.g. are not well handled in Italy so most companies outsource that type of footwear to Spain.
And please don’t use internet guides on how to authenticate product. There is way too much misinformation out there. Come to tPF when you have questions or use a professional authenticator. Your shoes are a perfect example of the potential problem of self authentication. Glad you came here.

Hello,
I recently purchased Jimmy Choo pumps via Nordstrom online and a store at King of Prussia sent the package without a branded dust bag.
My past Jimmy Choo did vary as to the inclusion of the dust bag or heel tip replacements—a shipment from the Jimmy Choo website sent during the end-of-season sale didn't have the dust bag if my memory serves me correctly—I'm still unsure whether I should be worried Nordstrom might have sent me a counterfeit product.
I would appreciate any insights.

Please wait for Audreylita to confirm as she’s the Blahnik expert but authentic IMO.
It is incredibly unlikely that someone pulled a switch on product at Nordstrom but no one can answer you without pictures of the shoe. Please refer to the first page for required photos.
