My dear Ade sent me this picture...someone is claiming these are real

*takes a deep breath*



These are not real. In any way, shape or form. Let's start with the Louboutin "Daffodil" pump. Obviously fake for one simple reason. Look at the side of this shoe. Where is that slender arch that is oh so apparent in the authentic version ::here:: ? Take a look at the more detailed images on the Louboutin site and shake your head with me. Also this is a $6,395 pair of pumps...why are you photographing them amongst $2 socks and a polyester blanket?

Now for the Louboutin "Noeud" pumps ::sigh:: The foot bed on this shoe makes me want to fucking cry and WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE BACK OF THIS SHOE?! Look at that elastic. I cannot even breathe right now. Take a look at the authentic pair ::here::. Now look at both and try not to die of laughter. Look at the horror in the back, look at that horrendous platform, the ridiculous thickness of the heel, the horrifying way the strap is connected to the side of the shoe, omg.

Lastly...the box. Not only is the material of the box wrong but the writing is horribly incorrect, nice try. If you look at an authentic Louboutin box, then look at this. You will chuckle.

Whoever bought these most likely got a "2 for $199" deal in a back alley

  1. I never knew someone passing off a fake as the real thing could irritate me greatly. If you cannot afford the real thing, please buy one that's inspired but don't buy one at Ms Chang's wigs and $1 Chinese food and try passing it off as the real thing. You don't even need to look to far deep, just take a look at the crystal detailing on the Daffodil. I cry silently.

  4. OMG im so late on this. I am so against things like this also because there are fucking kids taken from their homes and put through some serious child labor to create such unpolish fraudulent shit. and besides CL boxes are a different shade and and made with better material.

    side note: "why are you photographing them amongst $2 socks and a polyester blanket?" I legit face planted on my keyboard
