Christian Louboutin (February 2009 - November 2010)

You're right to be sceptical. I have never ever seen Louboutins even on sale for anywhere close to 180 euros, so it's pretty safe to assume she bought fakes. There are hundreds of fake Louboutin sites online, so it is easy to be fooled if you don't know what you're looking for.

I'll most likely have to purchase a pair of professional women's black shoes soon.

Which of the three would you guys say is the most classic style?

1) Declic
2) Clichy
3) Decollette

I love the decollette but it may be not so work appropriate with the amount of toe cleavage?

 

[Belle Princesse]

Eternitygoddess, Ron Ron is another simple, classic style you could possibly consider.

Thanks for answering me. The first thing that popped into my head was that they must be fake. So probably they are. this girl thinks she bought real ones.


Here's a photo of her wearing her CL's:

I find them a bit too pointy and the soles aren't supposed to be dark red, but more bright red right? And I also have a feeling that there's something wrong with the heel of the shoes.

 

[rosalynn]

Yeah, it's hard to tell from that pic, but the shape seems totally wrong and is that damage on the heel? Not sure about the red, definitely should be brighter than the pic, but maybe it's just the shadow/colours.

But honestly, find out what website she got them from, even if it's kinda a "wow, that sounds great, where did you get them from" type enquiry.

There are honestly hundreds of fake websites, and only a handful of genuine ones, particularly in the UK.

I would say the cheapest (apart from eBay, which is also infested with fakes) is probably TheOutnet, but that's a classic style she's wearing and rarely, if ever go on sale (let alone for 75% off), and I would personally go to a hat factory and eat every hat there if they're real.

[mistress_f]

i'd go with the simple pumps. easily the most comfortable pumps i own. the elisas seem to have a pointier toe and that means they wont be as comfortable

 

[eternitygoddess]

simples are so beautiful.

 

[charlotta]

I'm a big fan of the simples, easy to wear with everything and yeah, really comfortable!

I already have the Decolletes in black, so I wanted to get something just slightly different..

So, I decided to go with the Simples! I ordered them this morning.
Thanks for all of the advice! I'll post a photo once they arrive

 

[eu-pt]

Me too hollycaroline, I had them first in patent black, which must be the most uncomfortable pair of shoe in the world – uncomfortable but the epitome of elegance!!!

At least that was my excuse to buy the ones I showed on my previous post and guess what… for my great surprise they are really, really comfortable, at least as comfortable as a heel that size can go!!!
The skin is soft and the shoe grab your feet like a glove, giving the impression they are an extension of you, instead of an accessory.

hollycaroline when your simple 100s arrive, please tell us how do they wear compared to your Décolleté!

 

[rosalynn]

does anyone know the style name of these louboutins?

They're Madame Butterfly 150s - stunners!

 

[Jungla_Juana]

prissy, please credi your picture or it will have to be deleted.. thanks

 

[indepwe]

I would go for the simple one's for sure, I love them.

 

[boinquo]

Get the simple ones, for sure!
