Picked up two pair of Pierre Balmain shoes and cannot find out anything about them online. Well, even about his men's shoes! Without an archive or any threads here discussing his shoes, how can I be sure they are not fakes? They seem to have all the elements but the leather is very thin and the inside of the heels is undyed. What do you all think? Thanks!
