Authentication
How do you spot a fake Miss Z?
We authenticate every pair in house. These are the details our team checks first on any Miss Z that comes through us. For the full method, read our guide to authenticating Louboutins.
The red sole
Louboutin's red is a specific shade (Pantone 18-1663, Rouge Louboutin). On a worn pair it fades and scuffs at the tread first. A sole that reads orange or pinkish, or paint sitting on top of the leather rather than in it, is a warning sign.
The sole stamp
The red sole is engraved with Christian Louboutin and the size, set across the arch. On a genuine pair the lettering is crisp, evenly pressed and correctly placed. Shallow, uneven or badly spaced engraving, or a stamp that looks printed on rather than pressed in, is a common tell on a fake.
The insole stamp
Christian Louboutin and Made in Italy are stamped cleanly into the insole with the size. The lettering is even and precisely spaced. Smudged, shallow, or misaligned stamping is one of the most common tells on a fake.
The heel and tip
The Miss Z is a 100mm heel with no platform, so the pitch and proportions are exact. Check the heel is the correct height and the tip is a genuine Louboutin replacement, not a generic one.
Construction
The patent should read as a deep, even gloss with no cloudiness or crazing. Stitching is fine and even, the lining supple, and the shoe holds its lines. Loose threads, glue seepage, or a toe box that does not taper cleanly all point away from an authentic pair.
Box and dust bag
Original packaging is a supporting signal, never proof on its own. We authenticate on the shoe itself, and a genuine box and dust bag with the correct labelling add confidence.
