Item Number: Valentino Rockstud Punkouture Patent Slingbacks
Seller: Century 21

Dear corame, Sorry for bothering you again. I tried to ask for help in the Valentino Shoes section, but the “authenticate" thread there does not seem to be active anymore. Wondering whether you could help me authenticate these shoes.

I purchased this valentino rockstud pair from Century 21. Several things seem off to me 1. there is no serial number and size number printed in gold inside the shoes while all the other pairs I have do - not sure whether this is normal 2. the logos at the bottom of the shoes seem off to me - the prints in each line are not aligned (especially the "garavani" print) and the "in" in "made in italy" print seems to be in a higher position than "made" and "italy" prints 3. The stitch at the bottom of one shoe seems to be very rough and bulky. I have included some close-up photos.

Apologize for the long message. Really appreciate any help.

Best
Victoria

Fake

Thank you so so much corame! Glad I am still able to return these to the store. Have been findings lots of great Valentino shoes at Century 21 recently. Just picked up another pair the other day. Do you mind taking a look at the other pair I bought? If it is also fake, guess I am done with Valentino treasure hunting there...

One thing I found a little weird about is that the Valentino logo, Made in Italy and size prints at the bottom of the left shoe are a lot more blurred than the prints at the bottom of the right shoe. Also, the left shoe bottom seems to have some brownish glue around the edge. Apologize for taking up so much of your time. Thanks for any help.

Best,
Victoria

Thank you so much!! Thought Century 21 is legit. Couldn't believe how they allowed some many fake pairs to be on sale. Appreciate all the help. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
