Authenticate Those SHOES

Please ignore my previous Chanel ballet flat authentication request. I couldn’t delete/edit the post.

I just bought this Chanel ballerina flats on a Japanese site similar to Mercari. The seller is asking for around $140. I haven’t completed payment for it, and I would like to know if it’s authentic or not so that I can cancel.

Let’s let Shuze take up this authentication. I personally don’t buy items that are priced at a too good to be true price. That’s just me. Let’s let Shuze take a look at these.

You can find lots of preloved Chanel ballerina flats in okay condition in the $200-350 price range in Japan if you look around. Maybe people don't buy preloved shoes as much here? Not sure.
That may be the case, but shoes that retail for $1000 that are almost pristine and are being sold for $140, that’s slightly below my threshold of comfort. And yes it may be different overseas.
 
Hmm

Hmm, good point. It might be because the size I'm looking for is smaller than the local average which is around 36.5 for women. You can also find sizes like 34 1/2 and sizes above 38 cheaper here too. But I don't know if they are authentic or not.
 
Hello everyone !

Has anyone seen this pair of bottega veneta's before? I've tried reverse image searching them and nothing comes up. They probably are vintage ? And what style do you call this type of shoe and do you think that's real snake skin? Thank you!

I ended up buying the supposed beige and black Chanel ballerina flat I posted above and Legit Grails said it was authentic.

But the shoe actually kind of smells. Not sure if it's the smell of old leather or something else. Can an older pair of authentic Chanel flats smell?
