lately i've been doing a lot of inquiry on balenciagas, and when i found out i could scoop a pair locally, i didn't hesitate.
question for the balenciaga arena owners though: when you lace em up, do you double tie or lace behind the tongue? single knotting it for me always lead to the laces undoing themselves.
Also: If i'm a 41 with arenas, does it mean i'm better of getting a 42 for pleated highs? cause i tried on the pleated lows in a 41... considerably a more snug fit than 41 arenas

I double knot when lacing just because it does come loose often with a single knot.

Thinking about getting a pair og Giuseppe Zanottis, but dont know how the sizes run. I wear 43 in Balenciaga Srena & Pleats.
Would I wear 43 in the Zanottis?
Thanks for any input.

Some people go the same size, but for me a 41 in Arena's is just a *tad* snug, but a 42 in Pleateds fits me perfect. For me, a 41.5 if it existed in the Arena's would probably be perfect, making the Pleateds fit about a 1/2 size snugger IMO.

Hmm, don't remember those styles. Do they have a retailer in the US? It might be hard to find someone that owns one if they are mainly sold overseas.

No stores in the US.

Can someone help me verify these.
I purchased a pair of Balenciaga arena reds off of a seller on instagram for $600. He assured me they were 100% authentic and even called me and stated they were authentic or I get my money back.
I got them today and they don't look real to me. They smell weird for such expensive shoe, kind of like those cheap leather cases from china. One of the pairs is also missing an insole. Attached are some pics and the guys listing.
Also I paid by paypal direct and they refuse to help me. What should I do to get my money back? I highly doubt I will hear back from the guy. I been trying to text him and call.

First of all how did you send the money? if it was sent as gift your basically f'ed out of your money. If you sent the money as a bought item you have a chance. No insole? PayPal not willing to help you? charged it using a bank credit card? Call your bank explain in detail you received a product that wasn't described and you want a charge back on the account. I would first call PayPal again speak to someone else or get a supervisor and they could put a freeze on his account for the payment sent.

I found a site selling ripoff's type eight I ordered online, hit me up if you want a pair of type eights in black and white, I can also hook you up with a code 15% off and free shipping.

The shoe box in the picture from trillasteez's instagram looks off. The shoe box looks small and the size label should be closer to the edge of the box. Also, the "E" should be at the end of the barcode. I included a picture of the size label from my authentic maree arenas, which were from the same season.
The pavots came with 2 different size labels, and my pair has the newer label so it would not help to post it. However, I managed to find a picture on eBay of pavots with the old size label.

Attached are some more pics of the box, inside of the shoe with the missing insole. I tried to get more info from him pretending to be another buyer using a different phone and they said they are a licensed vendor (i highly doubt that). This youtube video is the kicker for me....my pair looked exactly like her description ( including those size stickers on the side and one on the sole. I took those off but mine did have them. I have the same thick insole as well).
I paid with paypal invoice. The kicker is when he sent the invoice, he marked it as a service. When I was reading over the invoice, I only looked at the description and didnt realize the service part until later. Services are not protected. I called paypal, provided them with tons of evidence that the sale was for goods not a service and the seller is using that as a scam. They were of no help. I called chase finally and they did a charge back. They advised me to close my paypal account otherwise paypal will keep attempting to collect the chargeback. I guess I'm out of a paypal account but I dont really want to use them if they con artists know the ins and outs of the protection provided. I guess I'll just donate these or chuck them out, I don't want to wear them.

Basically what happened....I uploaded emails, instagram conversations, text conversations and even his listing on instagram and his website. They have all that information but they still don't care. I dont even know if they reviewed any of it, they basically keep saying its not protected / covered and for me to read the user agreement.

Something similar happened to me on a forum PayPal refunded my money in 2 weeks, I spoke to a supervisor about the matter. I would never deal with outside source unless it's eBay or meetup's and has to have a stellar feedback. Good luck hope you get that money back.
