Our authentications are based on craftsmanship, materials used, a simple stamping or printing on a cardboard box are of low importance since that can be easily manipulated, compared with true craftsmanship and proper stitching. Which site did you buy these shoes from and do you remember the sellers name? A sellers feedback and a listing site all come into play in determining authentication. A quick Google search showed that this was an actual Chanel sandal, but also one that was knocked off. Manufacturers of replica Chanel shoes have gotten very good.

A few of us have conferred and our consensus is that these shoes are not authentic.
I won’t make a call on these but I can tell you that I would not buy them. In theory authentications should never be based on packaging or on anything not attached to the shoe but IMO Chanel would never goof on material and call a leather sandal fabric. BTW are you sure they're leather and not PU? Chanel would also never call a thong a mule. A mule is a closed toe shoe. Lastly, the stitching on the insole is uneven and mis-shaped. You know what my opinion is…sorry!
Additionally, the authentic version of this shoe says lambskin on the box. It is possible to create fabric that looks like leather, so your shoes may in fact be some version of a fabric made to look like leather.
Thank you all for your help! I will not be purchasing them!
Yes I agree with everything you said. I found the authentic box and noted these differences but thought maybe different country different box…however the ‘fabric’ was a deal breaker! Thank you for your comments!
Hi everyone,
Hope all is well!
Could you please help with authenticating these Chanel slingbacks (lambskin in beige/black)? Just got them in the mail (I have a few days to flag any issues) and they feel well made to me, but just wanted to get some extra (and more discerning) eyes.
Here is the original listing link:

Thank you so much in advance!

They’re likely authentic but I can’t go out on a limb since there are so many amazing knock offs these days, and the photos are not showing enough detail. The rubber heel is definitely aftermarket, likely to cover or replace an original worn heel.
Thanks very much! I ended up buying it following my guts that it's authentic. The dust bag also feels real compared to my slingbacks from the boutique. Thanks again!
Hi there, not sure If the shoes are authentic. The Font Style in the shoes are totally different. Maybe these are some new shoes with defects wich have been sold for a better price . So it would be awesome if someone can please Check if they are authentic. Thanks a lot.
