Looking to learn how to spot fake Dior Slingback Pumps?

In this guide, we will:

  • Show you real vs fake Dior Slingback heels
  • Explain what authentic shoes must look like
  • And comapre to the best fakes.

Let’s waste no time and jump into the Dior comparison.

To put it shortly, the fastest way to spot fake Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps, you’ll have to look at the insole’s text, as well as the insole’s stitching, because the fake Dior pumps never have the inscriptions and threads at the correct thickness, and genuine items are always flawless, without such errors.

How to tell if Dior heels are real

Step 1: Real vs fake Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps insole text

For the first of the guide on how to spot fake Dior J’Adior pumps we are going to have a look at the text printed on the insoles of the real vs fake Dior J’Adior Slingback shoes.

The same as how we’ve previously mentioned we consider this as the best way to spot fake Dior pumps because the replica items never have this detail properly replicated, and the authentic items are always flawless.

As you can see from the real versus fake Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps image above, the inscriptions on the insole are pretty simple, as they have the brand name and the word “PARIS”.

First things first, looking at the real vs fake Dior pumps above, you can see how the fake pumps have their “Christian Dior” text at the wrong thickness.

In fact, the replica Dior pumps have their “Christian Dior” inscription looking too thin, as the text was just printed, and not engraved deep inside the insole.

Looking at the authentic Dior pumps, you can notice how their “Christian Dior” text looks thicker, since it was fit deep inside the material.

Then, as for the “PARIS” text, you can notice how the fake Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps have their text too thin and scratched too much, and how the genuine shoes have their text thicker once again.

Step 2: Check the stitching all around the insoles of your Christian Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps

For the second step of the guide on how to spot fake Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps, we are going to stay still on the insoles of the real vs fake Dior pumps.

Please bear in mind that we’ve ranked the insole’s stitching as the second best way on how to spot fake Dior J’Adior pumps because the authentic pairs are always flawless, while the replica shoes are always flawed here.

In the picture with the real vs Christian Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps above, we have pointed out how the fake pumps have their threads on the insoles at the wrong thickness.

In fact, the replica Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps have their stitches thinner than the ones on the genuine shoes, which are thicker and bulkier.

Besides, the fake Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps have their insole’s stitches looking too long, and the ones on the authentic shoes are shorter.

Step 3: Examine the text engraved on the soles of your Dior J’Adior pumps

Moving forward to the third step of the guide on how to spot fake Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps, we are going to have a look at the fake vs real Dior Slingback pumps for the text on the soles.

The text on the soles is yet another really good way to spot fake Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps, and we recommend that you always check this text as well.

In the picture with the real vs fake Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps above, we have pointed out how the fake shoes have their text at the wrong thickness.

Staring with the “Dior” text, you can notice how the fake pumps have their brand’s name fit too deep inside the fabric, therefore looking thicker than the authentic text, which is thinner.

Regarding the “MADE IN ITALY” inscription, you can see how the fake shoes have their text once again too thick, and how the genuine shoes have thinner text thinner.

Besides, the letters in the “MADE IN ITALY” text are also crooked, as the legs of the letters are not straight, while the authentic shoes have all of their letters properly detailed.

Step 4: Fake vs real Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps interior panel text

As for the fourth method on how to spot replica Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps, we are going to have a look at the real vs fake Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps for their interior side’s inscription.

We are not going to talk about the insole’s text again, but this time we are actually going to look at the text engraved on the side panel of the real vs fake Dior Slingback pumps.

The picture with the real vs fake Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps above shows you how the fake pumps have their “MD” text way off the pattern from the genuine item.

In fact, the “MD” inscription has the letter “M” too small, and the “D” next to it looking too thick and too big when compared to the one seen on the genuine pumps.

Speaking of which, the authentic Christian Dior Slingback pumps have their letters in the “MD” inscription at the same thickness and size, without any errors.

A quick mention:

  • The steps we’ve written so far are the BEST ways to authenticate this item
  • The next few steps are still reliable methods…
  • … but they apply to non-top-versions of replicas available for this item

If in doubt, we recommend double-checking the steps we’ve explained above this line.

Step 5: Look at the shape of the heel of our Christian Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps

Proceeding to the fifth method on how to spot fake Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps, we are going to have a look at the the two of these from the rear side.

In most of the cases, the replica Christian Dior Slingback pumps will have their heel looking either too thick or too thin.

In the image with the real vs fake Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps above, you can notice how the overall shape of the fake shoes is different from the real deal’s shape.

In fact, the replica Dior J’Adior pumps have their heel too thin and too little narrowed, while the authentic shoes have their heel narrowed as much as it is curvier than the fake pair’s heel.

Step 6: Check the stitched “J’ADIOR” text on your Slingbacks

Moving to the sixth method on how to spot fake Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps, we are going to have a look at the fake vs real Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps for their stitched text.

The text we are going to talk about is on the pull tab on the real vs fake Dior Slingbacks, and it repeatedly mentions “J’ADIOR”.

In the picture with the real vs replica Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps above, we have pointed out how the fake pumps have their text at the wrong thickness.

By that, we mean that the replica pumps have their “J’ADIOR” inscription looking too thick, as they are bolder than the legit pair’s text.

Besides, the fake pair also has some of its letters too narrow. For instance, look at the letter “D” in the right side of the fake image, and you can see how the letter is too narrow, and then, looking at the real shoes, you can see how the letter is wider (since it is also thinner than the fake pair’s inscription).

Step 7: Real vs replica Dior J’Adior Slingback box label

Going to the seventh and the last step of the guide on how to spot fake Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps, we are going to quickly inspect the label glued to the box.

The Slingbacks have pretty much a simple box label, yet still pretty flawed on the fake pair.

Looking at the “900 Noir” inscription, you can observe how the fake box’s text is too bold, and how the real pair’s box has the text thinner.

Then, looking at the “J’ADIOR” inscription, the fake pumps’ box label also has the text too thick and boxy, and the real deal has its text thinner and wider.

Lastly, the “Heel (cm):” inscription looks too small, and the same text on the legitimate Dior box looks bigger.

How can I spot fake Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps in 60 seconds?

There are situations where you may be unable to go through each detailed step explained above when you need to authenticate your Dior J’Adior. 

That is why we have compiled this quick 60 seconds solution to authenticating your Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps. Below are the top 7 indicators that can help you determine if you have fake or original manufactured Dior pumps.

  1. Check the engraved on the insole. The replica Dior pumps usually have their text just printed and not engraved into the insole, therefore looking too thin when put side-by-side with the real deal
  2. Examine the stitching on the sole, because the fake Dior pumps usually have their stitching too thin
  3. Look at the text on the sole of the pumps, because the fake Dior J’Adior Slingback pumps usually have their text on the sole looking too thick
  4. Inspect the text on the interior side’s panel, because the fake Dior J’Adior pumps tend to have their “MD” text at the wrong thickness and size
  5. Brief the shape of the heel on your shoes, because the fake pumps often have their shape too little curvy
  6. Authenticate the “J’ADIOR” inscription printed all over the pull tab of the pumps. In most cases, the fake pumps have their text too thick and too boxy
  7. Analyze the text on the box’s label, since the fake boxes often have their text on the label badly font-weighted and at the wrong size
