Some people have no hesitation in approaching the second-hand market to buy these Dway Dior mules at more affordable prices. But the second-hand market is full of counterfeit Dway Dior mules. Here are a few tips on how to spot fake Dway Dior mules.
Look at the front panel
First of all, take a look at the entire front of your pair of Dior mules. First of all, look for the inscription "Christian Dior Paris" and make sure that the letters are perfectly arranged, all in the same font size. On some counterfeit Dway Dior mules, the lettering on the front is not identical, some letters are bold, others are too thin.

Analyse the reasons
Let's move on to the motifs on your pair of luxury mules. Here again, nothing is left to chance: all the motifs are symmetrical, identical and designed by hand. On counterfeits, the symmetry is somewhat present, but the handmade effect is not when we look at these fake Dway Dior mules very closely.

Inspect the insole
The insole of your pair of Dior Dway mules is an important element to analyse when you want to authenticate your pair of luxury mules.observe its shape, it seems narrower towards the bottom on a fake pair of Dway Dior mules. Also look at the materials used, on real Dway Dior mules the sole is smooth whereas on fake Dway Dior mules the sole is rather grainy, run your hand over the sole to feel the difference.
Finally, pay particular attention to the print quality of the text "Christian Dior Paris". Unlike real Dway Dior mules, on counterfeits the letters in this text are large and quite thick. They should be thin and narrow.

Look at the outsole
All the elements of such a product are normally perfectly designed; the slightest defect indicates that it is a counterfeit. When you turn over your pair of Dway Dior mules, you should see a few markings: the size of your pair of shoes, the place of manufacture, the brand name and a small star. On real Dway Dior mules, the markings are perfectly done and perfectly legible. If this is not the case, you have purchased a fake pair of Dway Dior mules. Take a close look at the font chosen, the depth of the print in the sole, etc.
