Known for his iconic red-soled shoes, Christian Louboutin is synonymous with fashion and luxury. Whether classic or cutting-edge, his shoes leave their wearer feeling sexy and strong—the Parisian brand's modus operandi. Louboutin eventually expanded into handbags that match the daring of his shoes, and into cosmetics—including lipstick and nail lacquer—designed in striking, collectible containers.
Very comfortable for louboutins. Often they are too narrow but this pair is just right!

Extremely Disappointed; Ruined After One Wear
To say I’m disappointed would be an understatement. These were my very first pair of Louboutins, and I was beyond excited to wear them for my graduation photo shoot and commencement ceremony. Unfortunately, that excitement quickly turned into frustration and regret.
I wore the shoes for just about two hours during my photo shoot, and to my surprise, when I took them off, the soles were already peeling. This was the first time I had ever worn them—specifically purchased for this special occasion—and they’re already showing excessive wear. As shown in the attached pictures, the bottoms look incredibly worn out after minimal use.
To spend over $800 on a pair of shoes, only for them to deteriorate so quickly, is incredibly disheartening. You’d expect shoes at this price point and reputation to hold up, but sadly, that has not been my experience. I honestly feel like crying. I rarely write reviews—this may actually be my first one in all the years I’ve shopped at Nordstrom—but I felt compelled to share my experience.
At this point, I regret not sticking to my trusty Steve Maddens, which have lasted through years of wear without issues. I had high hopes for wearing these Louboutins on my graduation day next week, but that excitement has completely faded. Christian Louboutin needs to do better—none of my other designer shoes have ever let me down like this.

Not well made
I was so excited to buy my first pair of Louboutin shoes. I was thrilled when the heel heights were lower and the shoes were so comfortable. However, after one wear the soles were coming apart! Not the quality I was expecting from such an expensive shoe! Thankfully Nordstrom allowed me to return them.

Beautiful, but
Beautiful shoe but I have to return it. Ordered size up but need 2 sizes up. I wear a 10, orders 11.5, but need a 12. The shoe doesn’t look big either! Somewhat narrow.

Size up 1/2
My wife loves the shoe. She's normally a size 7 US (9.5 in x 3.75 in foot) but needed to go up 1/2 a size due to the narrow toe on these. The CL shoes with more rounded toes in size 7 US (37 EU) fit her normally.

tight at the toe
The shoe are gorgeous but they are tight at the toe. Nordstrom is giving me a hard time returning them because they see a minor scratch on the bottom which happens when many people try shoes on. I am quite annoyed. The bottoms aren’t even scuffed. And they came that way. Nordstrom needs to use better quality control with designer items if they are gonna send worn stuff out and then try to penalize the customer. The shoes gave clearly not been worn but now I have to spend a ridiculous amount of time waiting for 3 people to inspect the shoes. Over it.
