Having some trouble identifying/authenticating these Coach boots. The only markings are the Coach logo on the inside and “6760” written on the sole of each boot. The zipper is Opti and the boots seem to be of decent quality. http://imgur.com/a/Z3su5
Thanks

I’ve just done some research and I believe that style/make is the Coach “Sammi” boot, although it’s hard to tell if the heel is the same. The “Sammi” seems to have a kitten-style heel.

Nice find it does look almost like it. The only difference being the stitching around the heel. -
I’m not sure what you have, but they aren’t Sammi style Coach boots.
Here is a link for authentic Sammi boots:
If you look up “Coach Sammi” on ebay, you will see some differences between yours and the authentic ones. The heels are different, the soles are different, there is no Coach lozenge imprinted on the bottom of the soles, no leather zipper pulls.
If they are authentic Coach, there should be a size and style number imprinted somewhere inside the shaft of the boot, in gold or silver, with the place of manufacture. Sammi was made in Italy.
There are some online Coach enthusiast forums that could potentially authenticate your boots for free. One is The Purse Forum. Good luck!

Perhaps the bottoms have no markings because they’ve been resoled? I looks like the heels might have been taken off, resoled, then reattached?

I thought about that, and it’s possible. There are other indications that point to them being something other than authentic Coach boots, (no style name or number inside the boot shaft, no “made in Italy”, no leather zipper pulls, crooked stitching along the top of the boot).
The other Sammi boots had contrasting shaft lining, as well. The black boots have red lining, and the brown boots have pink. These do not have contrasting lining.
Sorry. :/ I’m not trying to rain on anyone’s parade. I would just hate to see someone get Vero’d for questionable items, and Coach is high on ebay’s radar. I collected vintage Coach items for a few years, so I became familiar with details to look for on authentic items.
I guess it’s possible they are authentic Coach boots in a different style, that got resoled and reheeled, and the prior owner removed the leather zipper pulls, and the style name and number were worn off, AND this pair also happened to have a quality control problem, where the stitching is off. Listing them under those conditions is not a chance I’d be willing to take with my account, though.
Here is the link to a forum that has Coach authentication, in case anyone ever needs it. The Purse Forum
