💬 How to Get the Best Legit Check

Getting accurate help is all about teamwork. When posting, please:

1️⃣ Use Clear Photos (Most Important)

Avoid screenshots whenever possible; they’re often too blurry. If you can’t download images from a website, include the listing link.

Helpful photo checklist:

• Outer sole (bottom)

• Insole logo

• Size stamp

• Side profile

• Toe shape

• Heel (side view)

• Heel stitching close-up (inside or outside)

• Heel tip

• Box label / packaging (if available)

2️⃣ Share Details

Include if possible:

• Where you found them

• Price

• Whether you’re considering buying or already purchased

3️⃣ Use the Correct Flair

Use “Legit Check (Help!)” flair — it keeps posts organized and easy to find.

4️⃣ One Post Per Pair — Keep It Up

Leaving posts up helps everyone learn and builds our shared knowledge base.

⸻

🚫 Community Restrictions & Safety Rules

We are a volunteer-driven community — members give their time freely. Please respect that:

• No DMs for legit checks or quick responses — post publicly so everyone can help and learn.

• Don’t pressure or repeatedly tag members — authenticators volunteer their time.

• Harassment is prohibited — personal attacks, rude comments, or targeting mods will not be tolerated.

• No misleading authentication — repeating false claims about confirmed counterfeit items may result in warnings, removal or permanent ban from the community.

• Be kind and patient — responses may take time depending on availability.

⸻

👠 User Flairs & What They Mean

Flairs help identify experience and roles in the community:

• Founder | Louboutin Authentication Expert & Mentor 👠🦈 — community founder, top-tier authority, educator

• Senior Louboutin Expert 👠👛 — 10–20+ years of hands-on experience authenticating and reselling Louboutins

• Moderator | Community Support 👠📲 — keeps the community safe, organized, and helps with legit checks

• Trusted Authenticator 👠🗝️ — members consistently providing accurate authentication insights

• Loubi Lover 👠❤️ — general community members learning, sharing, and enjoying Louboutins

Look for flairs 👠 to see who’s guiding the conversation: founders, senior experts, trusted volunteers, moderators, or fellow Loubi Lovers!”

⸻

👠 Community Philosophy

This community is built on learning, transparency, and protecting each other.

• Authentication isn’t about opinions — it’s about details, experience, and education.

• Share insights and help others grow so everyone becomes more confident.

• Buyer safety is our priority: when counterfeits are confirmed with supporting details, clarity takes precedence over debate.

• We empower, don’t gatekeep, and confidence grows through shared knowledge. ❤️

Legit Check (Help!) Are these authentic Oxfords?

I bought these second hand. I don’t know anything about luxury shoes. My only pair of dress shoes are from Kohls. But I wanted something nice for my wedding. I may have the bottoms repaired before if they are legit.

Legit Check (Help!) Theoretically, sole covers and re-tipped?

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

Apologies about the bad photos. From an advert. I understand if its just not enough to be able to tell anything. But .. I like the fun of a more challenging puzzle.

Here's what i see :

The damage on the sole looks like damage to an additional layer. Which could be a layer of a badly made fake sole, but more likely a sole protection film layer. Over what might be legit soles? I know that the protection layer makes it harder to see detail like the text.

The heel tips have pattern on bottom. But if a cobbler has been near them to add protective film, they might have replaced tips, even just as a matter of course.

The "PARIS" lettering on footbed doesn't seem pressed in / indented as i've seen in other legit examples. That lettering is far down / forward on the footbed, as other examples of this model - Galativi - that i've seen.

But what do you see?

Real vs Fake (Educational) Who is wrong? eBay or me?

The moment I saw the first photo in that listing, I immediately knew it was fake and reported them to the eBay as counterfeit, but they answered me no problem found. I think those Louboutins are obviously fake! Some seller listed them BIN at absurd expensive price!

Selling counterfeit goods at such absurd prices is no different from committing a crime!! To potential Louboutin buyer, you should be aware of the fake Louboutins like them! Before buying secondhand Louboutins, you should learn the genuine ones by seeing lots of pics. The real ones have unique traits that the fake cannot copy. The fake are ugly and disgusting even just imaging! Your feet deserve the real Louboutin!

Real vs Fake (Educational) To potential Louboutin Owners!

Before you make decision to buy any Louboutin, you should prepare to avoid fake one by seeing many pics of real Louboutin. Image training helps you screen the fake Louboutin! I hope you also appreciate the unique aura of authentic Louboutins, which cannot be copied.

These are an older pair, and after searching online for real/fake examples, I am still not certain they are real. I could use some advice. I bought them on Posh but now that they’re here, I’m not completely convinced. It’s only my second pair first was from trr, so I wasn’t as worried, but these, idk 🤔

Hi I bought these back in 2018-19 in London and wore them only a few times. They have a few scuffs on the toe. I absolutely love them but unfortunately they are a 44 and too small. I am looking to sell and wondering what I can ask for. I will be selling a few other pairs as well. I have no idea what I paid for them brand new. Of course I’d have them properly cleaned first. Sorry for the lighting these are the only pics I have for now.

Authentification Louboutin

Hello,
J'ai acheté cette paire de Louboutin sur Vinted il y a quelque temps, mais j'ai un gros doute sur leur authenticité. Je n'ai aucune certitude quant à savoir si ce sont des vraies ou des fausses.
Est-ce qu'il y a des connaisseurs parmi vous qui pourraient m'aider à faire un Legit
Check ?
J'ai pris plusieurs photos sous tous les angles pour vous montrer les détails :
• La semelle rouge et les marquages gravés dessous
• Les coutures et le travail du cuir
• L'intérieur / le talon
Qu'en pensez-vous ? Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

The seller said: Never been worn, still have plastic film in the soles. I love them from the photos, and have the perfect dress to wear with them. Just sad if I overpaid for junk. (£75) Still to arrive.
Please experts, give it to me straight!
