I'm sorry, but no one in their right mind would throw away real designer shoes. You either keep them, give away as gifts or donate. If she were throwing them away it's safe to assume they were fake.Hi. I'm new here. I have a pair of Roger Vivier shoes that belonged to a neighbor who moved. The neighbor was going to throw away the shoes and I just couldn't let that happen. So she gave me a ton of designer clothes and several pairs of designer shoes -- Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, and Roger Vivier.
This neighbor is Korean, and I think she was moving back to Korea (she was a student, I believe. I live in a college town and there are a lot of foreign students here) and I'm guessing taking her stuff with her was too expensive.
So my neighbor was out hauling stuff to the dumpster and I caught her before she could toss it all. Unfortunately, I was never able to get a shoebox or dust cover or anything. Just the shoes and clothing.
I've decided to sell the shoes since I could use the money and the shoes don't fit me anyway, but I'm finding people are doubting the authenticity of the shoes. How do I prove that they are authentic? I mean, maybe they aren't, but I don't think that's the case since the clothing my neighbor gave me were also designer, some of which still had the tags on them. I'm wondering if you guys could tell me whether these shoes are the real deal. I'm 99.9% sure they are, just want to double check.
Thank you!
And sorry if this is a thread hijack. I tried to start a new thread but this site wouldn't let me. Maybe it's because I'm new. I don't know.
I read a little of this yesterday. I think you were very sweet to ask these questions and do the right thing. I disagreed completely with the advice that it was the buyer's problem to figure it out. Good for you. You are obviously a very good person. [emoji56]
I'll compare these photos to my shoes later today if that helps. I'm not an expert but I have a few pairs. Maybe she left them because she didn't like them anymore? Who knows.
I wondered about that too, which is why I'm double checking on them. The things some people throw away, though! There were really nice clothes; some still had the tags, nice bedding, all kinds of things! I guess they didn't want to bother making the trip to a thrift shop to donate the stuff. *shrugs*

I can't see the pictures so I can comment on the authenticity. However, depending on the lifestyle and personality of your neighbor, these could be real.
Personally, I try to donate what I can. However, that's because I've grown up shopping at a thrift store and there are easy donation options such as scheduling a pickup online for a donation center to come to my house. I live in California.
Growing up in Taiwan, I never saw a thrift store or shopped at one. I still don't see them now. At most there are second hand designer handbag stores. The mentality and lifestyle in Asia is different when everything can easily be bought and thrown out in a moment.
I have friends who would never shop at a thrift store and think that sharing shoes is disgusting. For them, used shoes would be something to throw away. And if their circle of friends (and family) is already well off then they likely wouldn't offer used clothes or shoes to them to use.
Hi ladies, I just purchased my first pair of Roger Vivier shoes *yay* but I'm debating the size. I picked up the patent ballerine chips d'orsay flats in black, can anyone comment on the sizing? I'm between the 8 and 8.5? I'm usually at 8.5 in Manolos and I find they are the most true to size for my feet. In the 8, my feet aren't pushed up against the toe but when i walk, it does feel snug but with the 8.5, I can feel them sliding down the back of my foot. The SA said to go with the 8 because she's found that most clients have to go half a size down and I tried on some other ballet flats that dont have the elastic and it looks like I'm a 8 for RV in the other flats.
Any input would be greatly appreciated! Sorry for rambling...I plan to take these shoes on holiday and don't want to be in pain.

I'm a true Manolo 38 and a true 8 everywhere else. I have two pairs of this shoe and one is a 37 and one is a 37 1/2. The shoes are identical in length. So you definitely should go down at least half a size. My newer pair are the 37 1/2 so I would lean towards comparable sizing with this one.
Hope this helps.

HI Ladies, I'm looking into RV shoes. It's my first time trying their shoes but haven't actually tried them on at the store. First, I'm deciding if I should get the flats or the low heels. Waht u think? Also, how's the sizing? I'm usually a 36.5 TTS but when i order half size up on flats. Please give me any advice or recommendations. Much appreciated. Btw, I don't live close to any of the department stores to try so I figured best way would be online. I was initially deciding between Ferragamo or RV. Thoughts? Thanks Ladies

Hi flats versus low heels depends on your lifestyle. I went for low heels. I can wear them to work with a skirt or for casual wear with jeans or pants. I find them much more graceful than ferragamos which I used to wear a lot. The Vera for instance is a bit dowdy in my opinion. You will have to try them of course. I would start a half size down from your regular shoe size. The patent leather are a bit tighter than leather or suede but they do loosen up with wear. Hope that helps.

My vote would be for the flat as I just think it is a very "chic & comfortable shoe" easy to walk in especially while traveling
I had to go 1/2 size up in the suede & for me personally found the patent harder to break in
If you are considering a black shoe, then perhaps the low heel might be a good option as it can be
worn daytime as well as in the evening
Enjoy whatever you choose
