Authenticate Those SHOES

[hblakely]

Hello. I bought these Manolo Lurum’s and was a little sceptical when doing so. The soles/box and dust bag etc match other Manolo’s I have but the insole is making me nervous. Also some of crystals seem loose which I believe can happen with wear. Any help much appreciated!

I’m honestly not sure what I’m looking at, the innersole seems to have come loose, I’ve never seen anything like it. If authentic, they’ve been terribly abused. Do you have a link to a listing? The first page of this thread gives the info that assists us best in an authentication.

Hi
Here is a link for the listing, they sell a variety of designer brands, told me they authenticity check and will refund if an issue so Im honestly not sure what to think.

Thank you

All indications are that these shoes are authentic. I'm just mystified at the damage to the inner soul, I've never seen anything like that, something terrible must've happened to the shoe. It will take an experienced cobbler to reseat that correctly, if it's not done with great precision, wearing it will be very uncomfortable. You may want to check with a good cobbler to see if this is fixable before deciding if you want to keep them.

Thank you so much for your advice, this is really helpful

Hi, just wanted to get your thoughts on the Chanel flats in this listing:

chanel flats size 36 | eBay

They have been used but still got a few years life in them. Authentic Chanel flats

www.ebay.com.au

I know it can be hard to determine if Chanel flats are authentic, and there's not a lot of photos, so I'm just wondering if there's any signs that point to it more likely being not authentic than authentic.

Yes it is difficult to tell from so few photos, but thinking likely they are authentic.

Hi all, I am new here and finding this thread has been really great! I was looking for shoes to go with my wedding dress and I bought these Manolo Blahnik Lurum heels because I loved its look, but after checking online I can't find anything resembling it, only the mules. Does anyone know if it's a discontinued design or is it not authentic? I don't know much about this obviously and now having severe buyers remorse😰😰 Any help would be really appreciated!
P.s. I haven't gotten them yet, these pics are from the listing: https://theluxurycloset.com/us-en/w...um-crystals-embellished-pumps-size-37-p840008

The shoes have all the hallmarks of being authentic. The crystals are reminiscent of the Lurum which are his classic stiletto mules with the crystals. I know he did the Lurum in a pump but had never seen it. It’s possible this is that style.

Thank you! That's quite reassuring to hear

Hello, can you help me to authenticate this Hermes kelly jumping boots.
I bought them online, they are bought probably 2016 or before. (Seller said that)
But there is no any serial number\ inside the boots, in new ones exist. But I am not sure, maybe its old and there is no serial number. Because of that I wanted to ask, should be a serial number?

Here the pictures. I just have only 20 hours to authenticate this item, if it’s not I’ll try to refund.

Is there a photo of the Hermes Made in France embossment you can provide?

Hi there! Can someone help authenticate these Fiorentini + Baker booties? The shoe/leather itself seems right, but soles are different than my other (authentic) F+B's and the pull ring is different. The inside front flap also doesn't have the embossed stamp. Thank you!!

No only made in italy on sole
And there is g stamp on sole, is that mean its 2003?

Sorry I don’t know if the stamping for years is the same for handbags and shoes. They appear to be authentic although I am unfamiliar with how they handle serial numbering on boots. I’m very familiar with handbag stamping but don’t know if it corresponds to footwear.
