Much like counterfeiting money, the goal for a successful faker is to spend just enough time and money to produce a fake that passes for an original at a glance. Sophisticated fakes that are very hard to identify are pretty rare, because of the effort required.

Unfortunately, you cannot rely on our typical US sizing or European sizing. You might put your purse on a table, or someone might grab it to take a closer look (yeah, that happened to me), but that’s not likely with shoes, especially when you’re wearing them. Shoes are usually about five feet away from our direct sight, and very often in motion, so it’s tough to QC (quality check) in real-life situations.
