Sorry about the crappy pic. Do these look legit?

Zegnas are fake. Don't know much about LV.

I thought the sticker with the model name of the shoe in question with "Allen Edmonds" printed on the sticker was convincing enough.

I didn't see the name of the shoe was originally posted as well, no need to be patronizing. I was speaking in terms of deciphering the maker simply by looking at the given shoe with no prior knowledge of the name/model. Good detective work though.

RL by Rancourt may also have 'Made in Maine' stamped on the footbed. I picked up a recent pair of loafers, same heel nail pattern as the AEs in the picture.

The font is off. The material of the label seems plastic-y/cheap.

I would add that the tie fabric is not particularly zegna-y. Its like that $60 *hermes* from the other day, its not of a type, ya know?

All 4 of those ties are very very fake. Those keepers do not even remotely resemble any design either have ever used, moreover the overall quality of them appears quite cheap and poorly done.

This also can for sure be applied, still having difficulty identifying the fakes from the real, their eye for the "Zegna" probably is yet to develop. But no doubt, after a little time, they are as easy to spot out from the front as they are from the back.
