The Hermes Oran are a really nice pair of sandals, and as nice as they are, lots of replicas are manufactured trying to copy the real deal, and at the end of the day, nothing really compares to the genuine sandals.

This fake vs real Hermes Oran sandal guide will show you everything you need to know in order to differentiate between the legitimate sandals and the fake ones.

All of the information in this guide on how to spot fake Hermes Oran sandals will be sorted through a few steps that are really easy to follow.

In order to make the authenticity process easier, we are going to link reference real vs fake Hermes Oran comparison images so that you’d visualise what the real pairs are supposed to look like, as well as the flaws on the bets fakes out there.

How to spot fake Hermes Oran sandals

To put it shortly, the fastest way to spot fake Hermes Oran sandals is to look at the text written on the insole and on the sole of the sandals. The replica Hermes Orans never have their inscriptions on the insoles and on the soles at the right font-weight, while the authentic pieces are always flawless when it comes to these inscriptions.

Step 1: Authentic vs replica Hermes Oran sandals insole inscriptions

For the first step of the guide on how to spot fake Hermes Oran sandals, we are going to have a quick look at the fake vs real Hermes Oran pairs for their inscriptions on the insole.

In order to do that, let’s have a look at the so-promised reference real vs fake Hermes Oran sandal image below, and after that, we’ll explain each flaw on the fake sandals.

The picture with the fake vs real Hermes Oran sandals above, we have pointed out how the fake shoes have their Hermes logo and the inscriptions at the wrong thickness.

First of all, Hermes’ logo looks too little detailed, as the horse is not perfectly visible, when it should be the opposite way.

On the other hand, the genuine Hermes shoes have their horse in the logo looking more defined, as all of its shapes are easily visible.

Up next, the fake shoes have their “HERMES” text looking too thin and too tall, while the authentic shoes have the same text logo looking thicker and smaller.

Lastly, the word “PARIS” looks too thin as well on teh fake shoes, and the real pair’s “PARIS” text is thicker.

Step 2: Have a look at the text engraved on the soles of your Hermes Oran sandals

Proceeding to the second step of the guide on how to spot fake Hermes Oran sandals, we now want to keep an eye out for the inscriptions engraved on the soles.

So, let’s flip the authentic vs fake Hermes Oran sandals upside down, and let’s have a quick look at this text right here.

As you can see in the image with the replica vs authentic Hermes Oran sandals, each of the fake pair’s inscription is flawed.

First of all, the “HERMES” text logo looks too thick on the fake Oran shoes, and the real pair’s text is thinner and slimmer.

Up next, the text which indicates the size of the shoes, you can see how the fake pair has its “37” number too thick and too bolded.

Speaking of which, the authentic shoes have their number looking thinner for the “36” inscription, and how the “1/2” text is thicker and fit way deeper inside the fabric rather than the fake pair’s number “37”.

Lastly, the “semelle cuir” and the “MADE IN ITALY” text looks too thick on the fake shoes, while the authentic pair’s same inscription looks thinner.

Step 3: Verify the stitching at the top of your Hermes Oran sandals

Moving forward to the third step of the guide on how to authenticate Hermes Oran sandals, we’re now going to a top-down angle of the shoes.

As you may know, the Hermes Oran sandals have Hermes’s “H” logo stitched in the front side, and we are going to see the threads on the “H” on both the fake vs real Hermes Oran pairs.

In the image with the authentic vs replica Hermes Oran sandals above, we have pointed out how the fake pair’s “H” has its stitches improperly detailed when compared to the authentic ones.

The replica Hermes Oran’s stitching is too thin and the threads are too short when compared to the authentic pair’s stitches that are thicker and longer.

At the same time, teh authentic pair’s stitching is fit deeper into the leather, while the counterfeit Hermes Oran’s stitches are not stamped as deep as they have to be.

Step 4: Check the shade of the brown sole (only for the colours with a brown sole)

The fourth step of the guide on how to authenticate Hemes Oran sandals will bring us to the bottom of the soles, as we now want to check the shade of the brown colour used for painting the soles.

As always, let’s first inspect the real vs fake Hermes H Oran sandals below.

Looking at this image with the fake vs real Hermes Oran sandals, you can see how the shade of brown used to paint the fake pair’s sole is too light.

This flaw can be seen especially at the top of the picture: the fake pair’s shade brown is too light, while the authentic pair has a darker and a more concentrated shade of brown.

Step 5: Look at the logo printed on the dust bag of your Hermes Oran sandals

The fifth method on how to spot fake Hermes H Oran sandals will also be the last one of the guide, and we for it, we are going to check the dust bag’s elements.

The dust bag of the Oran sandals is pretty much the same as every other Hermes item’s dust bag: it has the “H” logo inside a circle and the famous illustrated logo.

This picture with the fake vs real Hermes Oran sandals shows you how the fake pair has its dust bag’s logo coloured in a very light brown (that is almost red), while the real dust bag has its logo black.

At the same time, the fake pair’s letter “H” inside the circle is too thick and too big, while the authentic dust bag’s logo is thinner and smaller.

How can I spot fake Hermes Oran sandals in 60 seconds?

The five fake vs real Hermes Oran sandals steps outlined above are well detailed and it will be time demanding to perform each authentication step when you need to confirm the originality of your sandals.

That is why we have compiled this quick 60 seconds solution to authenticating your Hermes sandals. Below are the top nine indicators that can help you determine if you have a fake pair of Hermes Oran sandals or the real deal.

  1. Check the text written on the insole of your shoes and make sure that all of the characters are properly font-weighted
  2. Examine the text engraved on the sole of the shoes. Usually, the fake pairs don’t have all of the characters at the right thickness
  3. Authenticate the stitching on the “H” shape at the top of your Hermes Oran sandals, as most of the fake pairs tend to have their stitching too thin, too short and fit too little deep into the leather
  4. Look at the brown colour of your sandals’ soles, if applicable. In most cases, the fake heels have a shade that’s too light for their sole’s brown
  5. Remember to also check the dust bag. Mostly, the replica Hermes H Oran sandals have their dust bag’s logo brown instead of black, the fake dust bags also often have their letter “H” too thick
