Hi, I would love to know if these are authentic. Thank you in advance!
Here’s the deal-I own the shoe and wear a ton of Gucci. That shoe is pretty much like the Chanel ballet in that it’s highly and well faked but those look OK to me. Just know that this is an opinion off photos which is not the same as having the shoe in hand. @audreylita
 
These photos are too blurry for me to see detail of any stitching and seams which are important for true authentication. Details are outlined in the first page of this thread of photos needed and link to an auction site. With blurry pictures I would have to say pass on the shoes since this model is highly knocked off.
Hi, Audreylita, Thank you so much. Here are some more detailed photos of the shoes. Much appreciated!:heart::heart::heart:

Thank you so much for your feedback! Just curious since you mentioned you own a pair, the photos on the Gucci website have this sort of engraving (?) on the sole, which isn't visible on the ones in the listing I posted. Do you happen to know if there has been more than one version of the sole, and does your pair have the engraving? Thanks in advance!

The gel insert in the heel is covering some of the stitching I needed to see. I'm going to give them a nod and say they are likely authentic.

i believe there was a version with that insert. Again, the construction looks OK to me.Yes there are variations. Look at mine lol (bought at Gucci). Mine are size stamped on the sole-your pic isn’t.C63FE091-7EBF-454C-9963-BBB830DEB80B.jpegC63FE091-7EBF-454C-9963-BBB830DEB80B.jpeg

I found them on Poshmark but to get a better deal I Venmo’s. ****************** said fake and since then I realized the buckle is glued onto the shoe and the glue looks very old. Seller indicated that maybe the shoes were made differently in 2008. I was never aware they were that old. I wouldn’t have bought them

The buckles on all the hangisi shoes are glued on, always have been. Whoever told you otherwise is incorrect. I honestly cannot tell from your pictures, necessary pictures of the stitching are not shown, there are aspects of these shoes that fine and some that are a bit off, which may be due to age or simply that they are not authentic. Sorry without better necessary pictures I cannot give you a firm answer on authenticity.
