I bought a pair of shoes on Vinted for 10 euros, marked as Prada. While the stamping looks original, I still have some doubts because there are no other markings. It almost seems like it could be an early sample or something similar.

My main concern is the soles. I think they’re made of some kind of rubber, and I’m wondering if I should add another layer of soles to protect them. Is there a way to prevent them from cracking, or is it too late to save them?

I would just wear them. Eventually get them resoled.
