Authenticate Those SHOES

[Veneta77]

Thank you very much, Shuze. Really appreciate it. I just couldn't find them online, that's why I wondered if they are real. Thank you so much.

Sandy-I thought it was important to correct misinformation. I obviously have no knowledge of your specific interaction with authenticate4u but I just sent in a secondary market personal purchase of my own and mentioned in my request that it had been posted on tPF that they were no longer doing footwear. They responded that they’re definitely still doing footwear-just not all footwear and they will decline to authenticate certain categories and some specific shoes.

Authentication by photo varies with every service. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a freebie opinion or a paid pro. As prices of luxury goods go through the roof, seemingly quality counterfeits can be made that are still profitable for the crooks. There are going to be cases where a photo just isn’t good enough. Some pros will then only authenticate by having the item physically sent to them for inspection or will just pass and refund the request.

Hello Shuze,
Sorry for late response. I got reponse from authenticate4u that they don't do Chanel footwear, maybe I did not state clearly enough.

Excuse me for chiming in but I just wanted to say that I used A4U for Chanel shoes.

Hi all,
Would anyone be able to authenticate these Stuart Weitzman 5050's for me? They look okay to me but I've never seen them in real life so have nothing to go off.

I do have some extra photos but I am aware they are not what is requested (sorry, the person only sent me as much as they could :/ ). I can post if needed.

Thank y'all so much- really admirable the community here and what the mods do x

Sorry, I believe this may have taken a while to get through the mods, I am a new memeber so I do apoligise for reitterating myself but if anyone would be able to assist me I would be incredibly grateful.

They definitely do Chanel footwear but they may have passed on your specific pair just like we sometimes pass on opinions here. Chanel is getting so highly and well faked that it doesn’t surprise me if a pro sometimes passes depending on the pictures and the style.

No I did not even send photos to them, just emailed and asked how to proceed the transaction to authenticate a pair of Chanel shoes and they immediately said no.

No clue. Did you have some history with them? Anyway, you can see that been burned has used them for Chanel and I know someone else that just used them recently on a pair of sandals.

First time ever I reached out to them, I don't even know how to proceed the transaction, hence I wrote that email. No idea at all! I am honestly surprised.

Sorry that happened. Maybe someone new there?

When did you have them authenticated?

My authentication was for vintage ballet flats and the date on the PDF document is Dec. 14, 2018.

Maybe. Should I try one more time?

Well, maybe they have changed their policy

No my friend’s sandals were recent. I don’t have an answer.
