Some of the site like e-luxury say that 36=6, 37=7, 38=8 etc. But I wear a very standard US size 8 and my European made shoes are all 39, which I think is actually an 8.5. The Net-a-Porter site has different measurements than e-luxury and Neiman Marcus is different too. I haven't seen any reps offered in half sizes and I think this accounts for the discrepancy in the sizing charts. I think it's the sizing chart for net-a-porter that says CL's run true to size. I don't have any myself, but I hope that helps a little bit and answered your question.

Thank you SO much for the info, Shelly. You've been most helpful.

hey everyone <3 .. if anyones interested the following are pictures of the louboutin ariella studded boots. i was sooooo worried that they would turn out crap. but they are o k a y. definately not like the real thing. but on my wage i can only look at pictures haha.. . hmm.




Pictures are taken with iphone by me.

[CherryBomb01]

^^I love those boots. Are these your own pair? If so, are they comfy?

[CALLINGBLONDIE]

sorry yes they are my own pair.
havn;t worn them yet because the bottom of the shoe is so smooth needs to be resoled.

[CherryBomb01]

^Oh ok, fair enough.... you're not going to want to end up on your butt while wearing them...lol.
Just another question (sorry).... what size did you get and do you think they are true to size? I see you're from Sydney and I'm wondering how they compare to Aussie sizes.
Thanks a lot.

I think they are pretty easy to make. There is this seller on ebay who makes them. And they are very very close.

If any of you know of sites that sell Louboutins and accept paypal, could you PM them to me? I know of one that sells CLs for $80/pair with shipping included in price (!) AND they accept paypal but they require a minimum purchase of 8 pairs. If I had $700 sitting around, I'd be buying myself a REAL pair of CLs! Anyway, point is, if anyone knows of a site that accepts paypal and maybe has pairs for $100 or less, please PM me!!!

You've checked out the LouboutinBox/LouboutinMall advertisement on this thread? No minimum order I don't think and they take PayPal and free shipping. They are a bit more than you posted, but maybe they'll have a SALE!!!

[shelleybean]

OMG!!! For all you ladies that have kids, I was browsing iOffer and they have the CUTEST kids' shoes. Chanel quilted flats, little Prada mary-janes, too cute cute cute!! Makes me almost want one....wait.... umm... okay, maybe not, but those little shoes are so adorable! I hope some of you fashionistas will get them for your kids and post pics!!

BTW, this post needs to see some serious action. C'mon ladies.... spring is here (or fall for you ladies "down-undah") let's talk about SHOES!

[babybluestar]

Does Julie have the CLs that are beige nude (like auth) and not pinky nude like a lot of reps?

Shelley: I have two boys, otherwise I'd be all over that! My son is getting Uggs for his bday this Fall!! (Thanks for the PM too, can't wait to check those out)!

I don't have Julie's info so if some kind soul would pass it on to me.... <3

[babybluestar]

lipglossenator: Catty's CLs are a little over $100 with shipping and she takes Paypal!

it might be a tough call, but what's your definition of pretty or ugly toes? care to describe them? so maybe I can start evaluating my toes as well...which might come in handy lest I succumb to those custom-made Balmain sandals...they are dazzling btw....

[Street_a_Licious]

girls, i need some help.

i got a friend who found that site lxb*cn (those who know, will know) which has rep Loubs and she wants to order a pair.

so, her questions via me are:

- are they comfy? (well, as comfy as 4-5 inch heels go )
- how is the service from those lxb guys?
- sizingwise, any pointers? if she's a Eur 39 usually (i.e. Zara), is it safe for her to order the reps in 39 too? or go up/down?

thx ladies!
