A Quick Guide to Spotting Fake Louboutins

The high profile of these most desired shoes makes it extremely lucrative for high-end designer counterfeiters, especially in such sites as okay. There are multiple hints that should raise a red flag when looking at sellers and their products, such as the seller's location (Asia or the continental US?), the price (seriously, $100 NR for a $700 pair of Declics?!?!) and the pictures they use for their products (did they take them from a high-end dept store site or did they take pictures of the actual product they are selling?). Other reviewers in this site have given very helpful advice, but I would like to provide a visual for quickly spotting fakes. Nothing will beat a Christian Louboutin's craftsmanship. Here are a few examples:"Orniron" Pleated Booties: The first boot looks like an exact match from the front, but the back tells a different story, the stiching on the back. The second picture is authentic and there's no break from the leather just underneath the zipper."Declic" suede pumps:Notice the visible fold on the top of the counter, whereas the second picture the counter is sewn all the way through.I hope this guide helps. Always a great rule of thumb: If it's too good to be true, it probably is.
