How to Spot Real vs. Fake Designer Shoes: A Buyer’s Guide

 Designer shoes symbolize luxury and craftsmanship, but counterfeits are everywhere. Here’s a quick guide to help you distinguish real from fake.

1. Material & Craftsmanship

Authentic shoes use premium leather and suede, while fakes often feel plastic-like. Real shoes have precise stitching, no glue residue, and fine finishing.

2. Logos & Branding

Check the brand’s official font, logo placement, and spelling. Any inconsistency is a red flag.

3. Sole & Insole Details

Real designer soles are sturdy with clear branding and quality materials. Authentic insoles have soft cushioning, not rigid or flat padding.

4. Serial Numbers & Codes

Many brands include authenticity codes inside the shoe or on the box. Verify these with the brand if in doubt.

5. Packaging & Accessories

Luxury shoes come with high-quality packaging, branded dust bags, and sturdy boxes. Poor-quality packaging is a sign of a fake.

6. Price Too Good to Be True?

If the price seems unrealistically low, it’s likely counterfeit.

7. Buy from Trusted Sellers

Shop with reputable sources like Les Folies d’Eugénie, which guarantees authenticity.
