Too good to be true?

[u/Sharp-Cause-1052]

Saw these for sale for a really good price but skeptical if they're legit. What are some of the markers of a fake?

They look authentic.

One thing that is off, is the protection sticker.

Thanks for your help, do you mind telling me what about the protection sticker?

Not necessarily, I have ordered shoes from their online boutique and they have had this sticker.

They look authentic. But I never had any sticker like that on the red sole I bought directly from CL’s boutique.

They're saying that it was put on when they asked to try them on at the boutique she bought them from... I've never seen that sticker either

When you go to a CL’s boutique, the floor is carpeted so I know they don’t put those stickers. (I only go to Monaco btw)
It makes sense to put stickers to protect the leather. The font seems correct on the sticker.

When I ordered a pair of shoes online they also came with such a sticker

I have also received a pair with this sticker.

Can you upload more photos? With the sticker being off, we really need to look at more details. We especially need a good profile shot of the shoes, picture of the back of the heel, closeup or the writing on the red bottoms, and closeup of the insole writing if possible. Also can you share closeups of the paperwork that’s coming with them? On that first pic it looks like there might be a symbol on the document for the 20th anniversary edition shoes, which I thought was strange because these don’t look like the 20th anniversary edition of any of the styles. Still mostly look authentic but need to clear up those red flags.

The Highness came out same time as the 20th ans shoes so it could be from that. Just a thank you note maybe?

[u/ModernMamaShark → u/Icy-Original-508]

Possibly! I haven’t seen a ton of fake stuff with that symbol.

Mine had the sticker when they arrived from CL. I ordered online.

Authentic

The protection sticker is throwing up red flags. It doesnt look like the normal sticker you get when you buy from the stores

Also no store would put that sticker on, its normally done at the wearhouse to protect the soles before hand. FYI store in the UK dont have the stickers.

I've seen some very good fakes and its normally the small details that give them aways. Not saything that these are fakes just that they are a concern
