Link to previous thread:

http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/4908395-is-this-cf-and-have-i-been-out-of-order

So sorry for the delay. I know I promised I'd do another thread after dinner last night.
Then sort of had second thoughts as some posters started commenting on my previous thread that I was enjoying the drama, then tattle started getting involved etc etc.

I have been blocked on social media, as well as family and friends. We've all been turfed out but who cares. I have my lovely shoes back.

Letter was sent signed for today.
Hopefully she receives it tomorrow!

Thanks again for everyone who helped.

A happy ending (and £300 odd short) but that's what I'm aiming to get back now.

@Mari60 - her initials weren't RMcC, were they? because that sounds very familiar.

Mari60 · 03/10/2023 08:28

Not that far off it, actually, but no. Good grief! There's two of them?

Custard test please OP

Just to say I'm so pleased you got your beautiful shoes back, I discovered this thread just before bed last night. Naturally I had to find the first thread and had to read all of your posts before going to sleep.

I love that the first comment on that is “Wibble” 😂

MotherofWomen · 03/10/2023 08:31

Just here to admire the shoes!

IDontCareMatthewImSpeakingToRachel · 03/10/2023 08:10

So I've got to upload a photo of me holding a tin of custard or a load of bread 🤣

Or of me holding the shoes?

A picture of the shoes holding with a tin of custard would do me. (Actually I believe in you anyway x)

I suspect there's a lot of them. 😁

So glad you got them back @IDontCareMatthewImSpeakingToRachel , I wouldn't let this drop either
Cheeky cow

I have to say that I am used to seeing many copies of shoes and to me these don't look real. The join of the heel and the body is far too untidy and the sole doesn't look right either. This is also why I asked earlier if they had been reheeled.

They are real, I have the authentication for them. There was a gift receipt with them too.
They're also a different style to those shoes too. Same colour, different shoe.
She may have had them reheeled or done a shoddy job herself but I haven't reheeled them.

But they are definitely real.

@FluffyCatBonzo

The pawn shop wouldn't have taken them off CF if they were fake also.

@weirdoboelady

I don't have any custard so you'll have to have rice pudding Grin

A pawn shop wouldn't know this. They actually employ experts in places these shoes are sold and made to identify them. I have a friend who is one of these for LV.

@Nanaof1

I've got them back with box, dust bags and everything else that was in the box, thank goodness!

I don't know how much shoe owes everyone specifically, but she owes a few of us a few hundred pounds (not including the outstanding balance with me)

DM, she doesn't owe any money to, but DM I know has helped her in the past with the odd bit of money / vouchers etc.

CF DS owes my brother an outstanding phone bill that DB paid, not sure on the amount.

My mum actually said to me a few years back that she was starting to think that somethings not right. But she couldn't put her finger on it. I wish I saw what she saw then, even if I couldn't put my finger on it myself. My friend who I saw a couple of days ago said they started to get concerns too, as things started to not add up and stories were changing. But I think everyone was too scared to accuse her of something when she had 'been through so much turmoil'. It's awkward ground when you don't have much to go by.

This whole shoesgate has really done me and us all a favour, as it's all come out the woodwork now and there's absolutely no going back, from any of us.

I'm not trying to offend you @IDontCareMatthewImSpeakingToRachel but there are all kinds of "authentic" receipts from the kind that comes with the product to eg Selfridges receipts that people use to trick others. I used to be on a group where people tried regularly to flog dupes. If you love your shoes though that is what matters.

MariePaperRoses · 03/10/2023 08:58

There's a pair for sale on Vinted with same carpet as the ones in your photo but that was uploaded a year ago.

The seller wants £300.

Well done on you getting the shoes back (loving the deluxe rice pudding on top of the box Grin!

I’ve had friends who’ve bought eg a limited edition pair of say Gina shoes and of course that’s why they there’s a slight difference in these shoes compared to standard CL’s.

I’m not sure what your DB wants to do about the phone bill from her DS but I’d do as you’re doing and just ignore her going forward. Interesting your DM thought something was up. My own DM thought something similar with a friend I always helped out lending money to etc and then it went wrong.

Fiddlerdragon · 03/10/2023 09:03

Why are people troll hunting? Knob off to another thread if you don’t think this is real

It is the same carpet... Just in a different colour and with a different pile.

No that's okay, none taken.

They are definitely real. My brother has sent me proof of purchase (bank statement) which marries up with what's on the gift receipt in the same department store in london.

He sent me this in case it helped me in anyway get some money back.

Following.

Glad you got your shoes back, now here's hoping you get your money back!

Have you written a letter to the pawnbrokers?

Starlightstarbright2 · 03/10/2023 09:24

Glad you got your shoes back . I read the thread when you had ordered you shoes .. didn’t comment . I essentially thought that was basically the end of the thread.

boy was I wrong . You don’t need to prove over and over again anything . Some people will never believe anything - save your energy .

Enjoy your shoes
