Are Christian Louboutins worth the money?

[GoodGirlGoneWrong]

I have been given some cash for a birthday present, and I've always wanted a pair of Louboutins, my question is are they really worth it? I never splash out on anything so think they may not be all I want them to be!

I've got my eye on so Kate's if that helps

I have mega narrow feet... they could be the shoes for me

Oh, but they are lovely OP

Don't do it. After wasting money on designer bags and shoes I vote they are not worth it.

BF has them. They make her cry with pain.

Unless they're like walking on an actual cloud, I don't think the very expensive shoes are worth the money. I have heard and others on this thread have confirmed that Louboutins are very much not like walking on a cloud.

God, those are so high - very much taxi/bedroom shoes and never ever to be worn to a drinks party.

I've just had a prowl on net a porter I think I prefer these to louboutins www.net-a-porter.com/product/161339

Even the models feet look squished in the Net link.

There's some real purty ones on the jimmy coho site though.

It depends on your general attitude to shoes. I've worn heels since I was fifteen and have permanently shortened my calf muscles (uncle is a chiropodist) so am ok in mine. But my Jimmy Choos are comfier.

I own a pair.

They have never made it out of the house. Mine are peep toe black patents. Absolutely stunning to look at but, even as an avid heel wearer, I find them impossible to walk in!!

I keep meaning to sell them but never get round to it...probably because they are so beautiful!

Ooh I like those ones linked Glittery

I wear heels once for twice a week not overly often, never more than 3.5 inches.

Am going off them now after all the conclusions that they are so uncomfortable and I won't be able to walk

I have Manolos, Jimmy choo and Rupert Sanderson (among others). Rupert Sanderson are by far the most comfortable.

Bicester Village can be good for this sort of thing, in most things I think it's gone down hill, but I have had good bargains in Tods, Prada and Gucci shoes, all classic designs, not some random design still hanging round from the '80s

Pigalle 85 are far more wearable and comfy but good luck in finding some!!

Louboutin made the only pair of expensive shoes I have ever regretted buying.

I almost cry thinking about the time I went to Madrid for a meeting and wanted to be all chic as I knew the other women would be really glam. I was in those damn Pigalles for two whole days. I can't begin to describe the pain I was in.

My current favourite heels are Stuart Weizmann for Russell & Bromley. Very well made and absolutely comfortable.

They fit me well as I have really narrow feet but I love my Ginas far more.

Ooh yes novice, I have 11cm Stuart Weitzmans and they are so comfy!

Dont have a problem with comfort in CL, have a few pairs and no pain.
Jimmy choo are very comfy though, i can wear for longer, problem is they discontinued my faves.

I find them too uncomfortable to wear. Like Amber, I have Pigalle 100s and they're crippling. The Customer Service is also some of the worst I've ever experienced. It's not a luxury experience in any sense.

God I wish I had seen this thread 2 years ago when I bought the Pigalles!!

I have So Kate 120s and I adore them. The pitch is very high they took a bit of getting used to but they don't pinch or hurt.

hey do you know where i can send mine to get re-done ?? thanks in advance

Liam18 There's only one authorised cobbler in London who works with Louboutins. It's on Whitecross Street, London EC2

I think it depends. There are loads of Loubie’s that look like stripper heels, others are classic and sexy. I have a few pairs but do find them notoriously painful to wear.

Valentino are a little more wearable as are Jimmy Choos.

I recently treated myself to a pair of Gianvito Rossi heels - they are sex personified!
