Yes, these are absolutely authentic, I wore them two times. They are a women’s size 11 or a European size 42. They are black patent leather. There is barely any damage on them.

They’re so sturdy. They will last you for the rest of your life. I’m so sad to sell them but my feet are a little bit too eide
