Louboutins - can I walk in them?!

[Cabrinha]

I only wear small heels at work where I sit down a lot
My boyfriend is on about his little fantasy about seeing me in Louboutins. Leaving aside that he needs to check the clichés at the door...
Are they just the same as other heels to walk in (I.e. Treacherous!) or does all that money and design produce something with a loafers type comfort?!

Opinions gratefully received! Thank you :)

I can't walk in heels and have never had Louboutins, but I'd imagine if he's willing to buy them you, I'd keep them as 'bedroom shoes'

[Kittykatmacbill]

A friend was in ny buying some in (I think) their store. When oh asked if the were comfy. The shop assistant visiblely bristled and told him that wasn't the issue!
(I don't think they are made for walking and you have to get them resoled if you are going outside...)
But it sounds like they might be, er, 'slippers' anyway!

[BearFoxBear]

Agony, total and utter agony! Mine are bedroom only shoes because I didn't even manage to make it out of the front door in them

[MsBojangles]

Tell him to get over the whole red sole thing and start fantasising about Jimmy Choos instead, much more comfortable!

I have a couple of pairs of the classic 85mm simple pumps. I hate wearing high heels and I have a bad knee. I can walk and stand in them for a couple of hours and they are the most comfy heels I have ever had. I don't wear them to and from any event just at the event and then slip on trainers or flats. Also...some nice role play with the shoes and dress up may have contributed to us conceiving our DD!

[GingerFoxInAT0phat]

Mine are hideous to wear, have only worn them once after having them about 5 years.

[ScottishDiblet]

Wait! I don't think they sell them anymore but I think mine might be 70mm not the 85mm. Sorry!

[AmberNectarine]

I have the 100mm pigalles. If I put my feet into a bowl full of broken glass and vinegar I imagine a similar effect would be achieved by the end of the night. They do look very nice though.

Concur that Jimmy Choo are much comfier.

[Cabrinha]

You are all wonderful! Though harbingers of doom Thank you, I've laughed out loud. Slippers! Yes, when I said I couldn't walk in them he did say "you don't have to walk". Naughty man. Hmmmmm. I may watch some on eBay...

[Lottapianos]

Even Marian Keyes, no stranger to skyscraper heels, says that they are like wearing knives, and that she has literally cried from the pain of wearing Louboutins. Yikes!

Dont look at me I'm a fugly shoes lover

[SqueezyCheeseWeasel]

I think they are the most uncomfortable of the designer brands.

[Cabrinha]

I really am not seeing myself feeling sexy in these implements of torture!

Why oh why do they even exist?!!!

[sansucre]

Years ago I read an interview with the man himself where he said that his shoes are uncomfortable, and he doesn't really care about it, and how he his only interest is the aesthetic. He came across as a bit of a misogynist tbh, and after that I made a mental note to never ever buy a pair of his shoes.

Aquazzura heels are fantastically comfortable and really beautiful too. I recently purchased a pair with a 100mm heel and it's like walking on air. Incredible.

[Cabrinha]

Just looked at those sansucre - £££ although no worse that Louboutin.

I just don't get heels.
From the back - yes, the long leg, beautiful line, sexy...
But I look at feet from the front and honestly the feet themselves just look crushed in and uncomfortable! And I personally thing it's odd when you can see the beginnings of toes, which you so often do.

Hmmmmmmm. I have told new boyfriend that he's made an unlucky choice

[Lottapianos]

'And I personally thing it's odd when you can see the beginnings of toes,'

Toe cleavage - its a thing apparently. Some women actually look out for shoes that give them toe cleavage

I don't get heels either On paper - yes. In real life - really really no.

[SqueezyCheeseWeasel]

I find l.k. Bennett really comfortable. The heel heights and widths work for me and the weight distribution is well thought out. They are much cheaper than Loubs too !

[PeoniesforMissAnnersley]

I like toe cleavage (not in a creepy way!)

[Cabrinha]

Toe cleavage? WTAF?!!!

Right, I'll invest £10 on a pot of red gloss paint. Stand in it in my Converse. How do you like them eggs, boyfriend of clichés?

[Lottapianos]

Excellent idea Cabrinha

[Elledouble]

I have a pair of the simple pumps, I'm not sure how high the heels are. I find them fairly comfortable to be honest - no more uncomfortable than wearing any other heels for any length of time.

I'm not keen on toe cleavage. Luckily I have freakishly short toes.

[Cabrinha]

I have never had cause to wonder whether my toes are short or not!
I don't need another thing about my body to stress over

I do like this new boyfriend, and I'm in the shiny new lovely phase where you think - yeah, I'll blow a stack of notes on some overpriced uncomfortable "bedroom slippers"...
But it will stay as thinking!

[cashewnutty]

My DD has a pair of black patent leather Louboutin heels. She finds them mega comfy. There are many styles of Louboutin that are not uber high.

[Cabrinha]

Sadly, as these are bedroom slippers I think über high is the point!

I am at them being as good as mega comfy though!

[SycamoreMum]

They hurt but they are so beautiful! I only have one pair of the heels but three of the flats. It helps if you've got a good pair of gams I feel

[CloserToFiftyThanTwenty]

I loathe toe cleavage - and can't squeeze my hoofs into Laboutins at all anyway
