FAKE Designer Shoes





Today I was with the infamous fashion interns A, B and D mapping out an event that is coming soon, (Will be HOTNESS). While blogging galore we came across an ad promoting Christian Louboutin shoes. 
Intern D said this site has phony Louboutins, we decided to check it out. I couldn't tell the difference off the top, as many of the most popular Louboutins are very simple visually.  But when I noticed my own pair of Silk Louboutins with the Ribbons that I paid $1,300.00 for, I had to do some investigations. 
When I came home I took photos of my pair and zoomed in on the enlarge views of the pairs online. 10 minutes went by, I could not tell the difference. Then I remembered that fun game my sister who's a teacher always plays. Its a game where you look at 2 identical photographs and try to spot the difference!
When it hit me, I nearly gasped as I was on the phone with Intern D. My shoe (The REAL thing) has 4 ribbon loops on the side of the inner part of the shoe. The fake one online has 5. A minor detail when you're looking at them while a stylish chick is walking down the street with them. It so sad how the luster can be stripped off of the surface of luxury.

  2. I could not believe how close the knock off was. Good to know! Yes that's me wearing them. They are the most uncomfortable shoe to walk in. I just put it on my shelf like artwork, cause I can't wear them.

  3. The "knockoffs" look good because they are using photos of REAL Louboutins on the website. Some of those photos are straight from the Neiman Marcus website.
