This item is 100% authentic and was bought at the Soldes 2 day sale at the Palais des Congres Jan. 11th 2018. Hermes does two two day sales a year where they put some items on sale at a specific location in Paris. I bought these shoes for myself but they were a little to big and so I am deciding to sell them. Hermes like LV is one of the few brands that is never on sale. So when I heard about this two day sale I bought a ticket to Paris so I could attend. This will be a great buy for anyone looking for a new Hermes pair of shoes. I will not offer any returns on this item due to the value. The buyer must be an experienced ebayer and I will provide signature shipping. If you have any questions please ask before you buy and please try on Hermes before you buy so you understand how your feet fit in Hermes.
