Authenticate Those SHOES

[flygirrl_d]

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this site, so please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong place. I bought these Giusseppe Zanotti sandals secondhand, and I just want to know if they are the real deal. I don't normally shop this brand, so I am hoping someone out there can spot a fake. Also, do you know how much I could get for them in this condition? Thanks in advance for your support.

Shoes are likely OK, but let's wait for Shuze to weigh in as well.

Absolutely authentic but no clue on value in that condition.

Hello, could you please authenticate these 2 pairs? Hermes snakeskin print and beige Gucci.

IMO realky tough to authenticate highly worn 45 year old plus shoes. The Gucci sre def. authentic. Ivthink the Hernes are OK too but believe they’re genuine python.

Hi everyone,

I recently bought these Tod’s boots secondhand on Vinted and I’m trying to figure out if they’re authentic. The leather looks quite shiny, and some of the detailing seems a bit off to me. They do have the Tod’s logo on the sole and insole.
I’ve attached photos below (sole, insole, stitching, profile). Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated! Thanks 🙏

Hello authenticators! I was gifted these Prada platform sandals. Curious on authenticity and name/age if you know it. Please let me know if any photos are missing. Thank you!

i need much clearer focus pics including the lining and all stamping.

Hi! Thanks for your reply! I don’t see any other stamping other than under the shoe as I’ve posted. I don’t see any other lining than what I’ve posted, will these help?

 

[shuze]

Not really. Sorry. I don’t see anything wrong but details arent clear enough for me. just doublecheck that sll lining material is leather-not synthetic.

Would any of you mind giving me your opinion on the authenticity of these shoes? I bought them used and although some things look right to me, there are a few things I'm concerned about, but I'm very much not an expert as I only learned about Tod's recently.

I thought there was supposed to be a "T" embossed on the outside of the leather, which I don't see anywhere. Does anyone know if this is a hard and fast rule?

Also, I noticed the size on the inside is stamped such that it looks like the 1/2 is obscured by the insole, which I wouldn't typically think would be the case with an authentic pair of Tod's shoes.

Someone online said that all Tod's should have the bumpy outsoles, but I'm wondering if they just meant the drivers should?

The red part of the insole looks slightly uneven, but maybe that could happen with wear?

The box that came with them seems to have an incomplete sticker without all the information on it?

Some of the promising things are:
-They smell like leather, but they could have used real leather for their fakes.
-the stitching looks uniform and straight to me.
-the logos look ok to me, but I don't tend to notice minute differences, so would welcome other people's opinions.

Can someone more knowledgeable help a girl out? They need new heel caps which I can have done inexpensively ($20), but hesitate to invest that into them if they're fakes.

Thank you in advance!

Hi, I just bought a pair of Chanel ballet flats (black leather w/black patent cap toe) off ebay. They arrived and now I am questioning their authenticity. I happen to own a pair of the brown with black chanel ballet flats I got from Saks and when I compare them to black/black I got from ebay, I am a little concerned now about authenticity. Can someone help to authenticate?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150434481057&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
Item#: 150434481057
seller: johnbaer9

The ebay pair has the "model number" on both shoes "00VBLIA02819" with no spaces in between. My brown pair from Saks has "model number" on left shoe only "00V CMAA02819"

Am I being paranoid? or is the ebay one I got fake?

Hi! 15 years later - hoping you are still on this forum. I bought the ones you purchased at Saks secondhand and now I’m wondering if you can confirm that they have the serial number in one shoe only? I purchased the dark brown and black ballet flats and they have the exact same serial number you mentioned, but in both shoes. Now I’m worried they are fake after reading your message. Do you still have them and can you check, thank you very much.
