LOUBOUTIN OWNERS .. OPINIONS PLEASE!
Permalink Closed

Ok girls I could use some help! I have never owned a pair of louboutins and I think its about time! I want to get a classic pair that I can wear forever and that isnt to tall.

Can anyone suggest a style, the best place to buy them and do Louboutins run TTS?

So far I like these ..

I think for your first pair get something more... fabulous. Something that's more fun and that you don't wear often.  The first pair I bought were black, low heel, pointy, classic, interesting detailing with the straps, and I have to admit I don't enjoy them nearly as much as the blue suede round toe pumps I bought later. For a shoe like this, get something special -- you'll enjoy it more than something classic and neutral. JMO

I don't own any Louboutins, but if I could afford to buy a pair I would have these:

I agree with D, you don't need to get a 5 inch heel but I would definately get something a bit more special. Or at least with a bit more heel or a full on flat
Examples
similar to what you posted but more heel


or go with a classic black pump. My first pair were a 3 inch peep toe black pump and I've worn them into the ground.
edited to answer your questions
I would suggest trying them on in person. I used to always run TTS in Louboutin, a set 38.5, lately his sizes have been varying so I've gone up or down 1/2 a size. I've found that Saks, Neiman Marcus and Barney's has the best selection in Chicago. Not sure if you have these stores near you or not.

I second these as well. I just bought these in a camel patent leather and they are gorgeous!

The whole forum should pitch in a few bucks and we could share them...like Sisterhood of the Traveling Shoes.

Sisterhood of the traveling shoes ... LOVE that !!!!!


Colette - the camel patent style you just bought - how do those run? I am leaning towards those right now.

Alliegurl great choice if that's what you get! Mine ran TTS and a really comfortable. The color makes them so versatile and they make your legs look super long since they match your skin tone.

I'd get them and then buy a cheap pair of shoes for the wedding. Seriously.
