Ralph Lauren Purple Label Shoes: Buyer's FAQ

How can I tell a pair of Ralph Lauren Purple Label shoes is authentic? We authenticate every pair in-house, and the tells are in the details counterfeiters get wrong. We check the construction (often Goodyear-welted), the branded insole and Purple Label stamping, the made-in markings and the even stitching, and feel the leather — supple, never stiff or plasticky. Because details vary by era, we never rely on a single marker; if a pair doesn't pass every checkpoint, we don't list it.

What are Ralph Lauren Purple Label shoes made of? Purple Label footwear is fine calf leather, suede and exotic leathers, from loafers to Chelsea boots. Every listing states the material and our condition grade.

How do Ralph Lauren Purple Label shoes fit? Purple Label shoes generally fit true to size. Go by the insole length we measure and list, not the marked size alone.

Is a pre-owned pair worth it? Yes. The build lasts for years, so a pre-owned pair at a fraction of retail is sound value, and every pre-owned piece is graded transparently (Unworn with tags, Unworn, Excellent, Very Good). And every piece is authenticated — if one is ever proven inauthentic, we refund it in full — with a 14-day return policy, so you can buy with confidence.

How to Buy Ralph Lauren Purple Label Shoes

From the pairs we inspect, look at the sole and heel wear, the leather or suede for scuffs and dryness, and the insole and stitching. We grade each of these before a pair is listed, new or pre-owned.

Wear Purple Label loafers with tailoring, or Chelsea boots with denim and a knit.

Use shoe trees, brush suede regularly and protect with a suitable spray. Every pair at Sanpetuna — new and pre-owned — is authenticated by hand and backed by a 14-day return policy; if a piece is ever proven inauthentic, we refund it in full.
