How can you tell fake pradas shoes

The difference in the quality of the leathers is super visible in this comparison but it's not just that. Noticed how curvy the authentic heel counter is? Its stitching is curvy too. On the other hand, the heel counter of the replica boot is flat which makes the shoe uncomfortable to wear as well as different looking from the original.

Lastly, the Prada lettering- engraving in the left picture is done neatly, with big, square-like letters whereas they are deeper and differently shaped on the fake model. The model is known for its iconic pocket attached to the boot. The material used in the production is rain and snow-proof which makes the boots wearable in winter.

The replica pocket on the other hand is made out of a cheap material that we doubt can keep your feet dry. The original Prada pin is much bigger than the replica one too.

We already said a few words about the pin in the previous method but we should take a closer look at it. First of all, the authentic pin is bigger, with a more detailed design; observe the text details such as "Dal ", "Milano" etc..

To authenticate the model thoroughly we need to observe the insole too. We bet you have already noticed how the authentic insole is made out of almost the same leather as the exterior. The situation is not the same with the replica; the material used in the production is cheaply-made, easily peelable leather that will get worn-out just in a minute.

Besides the quality, there is stitching too, which is neat and tight in the left picture and sloppy in the right. Lastly, the font- letters on the replica insole are wider, thicker, and bolder.

Serial numbers are not that common in replicas but if they still are there, compare the way they were written to the original model. As you might have already noticed numbers and letters on the authentic tongue are thin but bold and easy to read, whereas they appear larger but paler in the right picture which makes the serial number almost impossible to read.

A mesh or plastic dust bag, or a silver dust bag with a black drawstring are dead giveaways that you have found a fake pair of Prada shoes. Try on the shoes. Prada shoes should fit snugly but comfortably. Fakes will not since they aren't made with the same quality standards.

How to Spot a Fake Coogi. This photo shows the inside of the tongue. Note the poor printing on the fake shoe to the left, and the poor quality of the stitching and leather.

Also note the looser mesh on the fake. Notice that the rubber stripe on the tongue of the fake shoe to the left is darker, the R is missing the indentation below the curve, and the font differs from the real shoe to the right.

However, the fake has this aligned to the right instead of to the left as on the real shoe. Also notice that the fake is made from a shiny plastic instead of a matt rubber.

The other end of the insole should have a serial code printed, as can be seen in the photo of the authentic shoe to the right. The fake to the left, is missing this serial code. The red stripe on the top of the insole should be stitched in, not printed or glued. Note the poor quality of the printing on the fake to the left, and the darker color. This photo shows the bottom of the sole. Notice the poor quality of the embossed 'PRADA' on the fake to the left, and the missing indentation below the curve of the 'R'.

The red stripe on the sole should be printed cleanly and evenly, and should have a recessed border around each of the letters, as can be seen on the photo of the real shoe to the right.

The fake shoe to the left is again missing the indentation on the letter 'R' in Prada.
