Hi NYYankeeGrl,

The shoes are definitely authentic - no doubt at all. Ferragamos pretty much always run on the small side. As a general rule, most people need to choose a 1/2 size bigger than they'd normally take, but sometimes even a full size bigger, depending on the style of the shoe.

However, this pair have a width fitting of A3 which means that they're extra extra narrow. So unless you have particularly narrow feet, they're more than likely going to be too tight. That said, they could possibly fit you if you normally take a size 7.5, but if you're an 8 or more, then you'd be wise to 'pass' on this pair. The seller does take returns but you'd be out-of-pocket for shipping both ways if it didn't work out.

If, on the other hand, you do have narrow feet and normally take a size 8, then there's a good chance they'd fit you.

Hope that all makes sense! :-s

Thanks! Looks like like I'll hunt down a 9/9.5.

Comments: Hi. These are not currently for sale yet. I wanted to make sure they are authentic before I post them. I am wondering about the handwritten numbers on the sole near the heel. I haven't seen anything about this while researching Ferragamo's, which led me to your thread. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Definitely fake - sorry!

By the way - I must apologise for not responding earlier. I've been away from home and relying on the tPF app on my iphone which hasn't been working - very frustrating! So this is the first chance I've had to check the thread.

These look genuine to me. You often find small numbers/writing on the soles of second-hand Ferragamos. Sometimes they're auctioned (by an auction house - not ebay) and the writing denotes the lot number.

Hi can someone help look at this listing and tell me if this is authentic? It won't come with the shoe box.

Sorry but I can't tell from the photos. The uppers do look good but the soles don't look like leather to me and the heels don't look like stacked leather. But I just can't be sure from the pics - sorry!

Please read post #948 (sorry I can't help with authenticating bags, wallets or belts - shoes are my area of expertise). You might try www.authenticate4u.com I know some people have had luck getting their bags etc authenticated there - good luck!

Thanks so much for authenticating and pointing out what we should be looking for jcoll! I ended up returning the shoes for a full refund. The leather felt stiff and the sole appeared to be rubber.

What I have learned from you so far:
-innersole ferragamo block logo must be filled rather than outlined letters
-ferragamo signature brass on vamp runs from F towards back of shoe to front

My question for you is, how do you tell from photos whether the insole liner is leather or not? And are there any other basic tips for Vara and Varina authenticating?
