[@ebonylo.]

Exactly and people need to realize to only have one pair that will last you a long time

[@dreicher]

As someone who had to be very dressed up in the corporate world, I purchased a pair CL similar to these babies many years ago when they started at $495. I was wowed at the fit. Once I understood their sizing, I was amazed that a patent leather point toe pump could be so comfortable after all day wear. While a high heel will eventually bother the ball of the foot when on them for hours, the upper felt like a leather slipper the entire time. No joke. Not one bit of pressure. I understand why they are loved. This man makes a sexy shoe as comfortable as you can get. Thank you for the review.

[@PharmDQueen]

How do you understand their sizing?

[@dreicher]

They run closer to French shoe sizing instead of EU/Italian sizing even though they are made in Italy. For example: EU/Italian size 37.5 is the equivalent to 7 US size which is equivalent to 38 in French sizing. The UK equivalent to 7US is 4.5 or 5 for UK brands like Paul Green and you will notice reviews will say they run big. Not so. It is they are marked with UK sizing. So when I ask for my CL size, I will usually begin with a 38 (same for Chanel) It the size that works for me most of the time. @@PharmDQueen

[@MissBliss818]

That's crazy you say that cause CL are the most uncomfortable shoe I've ever tried on. I could not purchase them and was really shocked. They're painful and I was trying on sizes that are 4 sizes larger than what I am. They were laughable and the guy helping me with my fit couldn't even fit me in their largest size, I'm normally a us size 8, but their largest shoe felt like I was trying on a us size 6. I asked the man helping me if this is a common issue and he says it happens to most people he helps. Any other shoe at the boutique was great compared to the CL. I'd compare the shoes to wearing shoes made of wood. I tried another boutique and the same experience. Edit: On a side note, if you bought these when they were at $495, there's actually a good chance they were made with better materials compared to now.

[@mariasirbu7279]

​@MissBliss818 I was surprised at this comment as well, maybe she's one kf the fewer people that actually fit those shoes naturally by chance, buy giving that the creator himself said those shoes are meant for walking I have to believe him✔️

[@dreicher]

I understand. The time we spend in life trying on clothing and shoes to find what fits us perfectly can be so frustrating! Fortunately, there are so many luxury brands that make shoes just a beautiful (or more so) as CL's so you have many options. Yes I purchased the pumps a long time ago. I also have a pair of CL flats that I bought 2 years ago and they feel like they were custom made for my foot. But not every brand works for every shape foot (I cannot wear Chloe or Marni). Like body shapes, there are different foot and toe shapes.. Correct size is important but it is one part of the equation. Overall foot and toe shape is another factor. Different brands (luxury to cheap) will feel better on certain foot shapes depending on the overall foot patterns the designer/brand use in the construction. We spend so much time on our feet, choosing a shoe that fits us well is more important than any brand.

I like their men's shoes and own a pair, but you clearly know nothing about craftmanship if you think these are high quality. The materials are literally as cheap as it gets.

What CL has in terms of quality that other fancy shoe brands don’t is the heel caps - they are the strongest I’ve seen even with the stiletto heel. Others just crumble but CL ones look pristine. Nothing I paid for at the shoe repair shop can compare to them as well.

Unlike a lot of brands they actually have the quality to back the price - however still, $800 for a pair of stilettos is nuts. But that said, given the quality, you'd have them for life. And ultimately we probably spend way more than that on cheaper shoes that need to be replaced more often. So actually, it's honestly not that bad when you look at it that way lol

The folks there bought real Louboutins and ripped them apart and made patterns, and adjust them for every customer. It took a few weeks, as there is backup of orders. later I bought Louboutins of a similar style that was 3 times the price. It was oddly as comfy as a custom made shoe. But I did not have to wait. ..and it made me feel a bit better knowing I did not have a knock off shoe.

Pigalle 85s (the ones featured in this video) are actually pretty comfortable after you’ve worn them in (assuming you are experienced in walking in anything higher than kitten heels). Even for CL patent leather, which takes much longer to stretch. Feels very similar to Calvin Klein Gayle pumps which is a useful starter pair. Pigalle 85 is my only pair of CLs. Jimmy Choo Romy 85, Gianvito Rossi Gianvito 85, and Manolo Blahnik BB 90 pumps are all similar styles that prioritize weight balance and comfort a bit more than CL. That said, nude Pigalle 85s in patent are an iconic design that go with pretty much every outfit in every season.

I was really surprised by a pair of flat leather Isabel Marant sandals I got that I thought qould last me forever. There was a diamond cut-out pattern all over the straps, which crossed in an "x" in the front with a slingback strap in the back. The straps looked like a thick, solid piece of leather, but split after only one summer of wear almost everywhere. It was just two thin pieces of leather glued togerher, and I had to crazy-glue them back together myself. They were also not attached that well to the leather sole, and the straps were starting to split apart at the base where they attach to the sole. To top it off, they painted the leather of the footbed black to go with the black of the rest of the leather sole, but it began wearing off the footbed almost immediately. Not impressed for like $500 CAD.

I'm a self-professed Louboutin girl here... the quality of the materials in the Pigalle does not surprise me at all. I also know that even with the beautiful high-quality materials, luxury items are always overpriced. The price exudes understated elegance and taste and sends a statement that "I belong in an exclusive class of well-fashioned in-the-know's"; this shouldn't be a jaw-dropping surprise to anyone. If you're not hurting anyone and you enjoy this lifestyle and... a really awesome pair of shoes, then why not? I once bought a pair of Payless sandals for casual walking-around-in for a vacation and they literally fell apart on me while I was out and about. Never again... for a bit more, it is well worth the pay-per-use for a better-made shoe that will last and is comfortable, as well.

[@cdcd1607]

You always they are other brands, but what are they? I would love to know. I care more about quality than names, but where do we start???

[@megsley]

im still not spending almost $800 on a pair of heels.

[@arfriedman4577]

The most i spent on a pair of shoes were these $175.00 birkenstock. They are so comfy and lasted for years. I dont buy lots of shoes, bags, or excess of stuff. I stopped buying most things in 2012 and use what i have. Our parents taught us the value of money and whats a good price.

Why is it that flexing riches is seen in a bad light, but the equally cringe flexing of being cheap is given a free pass? Fascinating. Flexing how cheap you are might actually be worse because I literally never heard one person brag about only buying expensive things, yet you hear broke/stingy people preach all the time about how they're so much better because they spend less.

[@skrittle555]

@@user-iu1ru1qz7u Honestly moderation in all things is key. Spend too little and you end up with useless crap that falls apart immediately. Spend too much and you're just paying for the brand name. There's a good middle ground where you get exactly what you're paying for and what you're buying is good quality. But also I think a lot of us who brag about getting a good deal grew up poor, so there's that. I still feel guilty buying myself name brand deodorant now that I have money. It's a lot of unlearning you have to do.

You didn’t say how much it would cost with just the materials. Any idea? I know you said there’s a mark up, I’m just wondering how large of a markup.

[@AnythingBtOrdinary91]

Can you review Boston Style Bags? (It's the design of the LV Speedy but I'd rather not pay that price tag).

[@2008MrsKim]

I have several pair of CL and there is nothing that makes you feel special than slipping into a pair of these. When I need to fell sexy or even just to lift my mood, I just slip a pair on and I feel Glamours and mood is instantly lifted.

[@greygeese]

Are they as uncomfortable as people say they are?

[@stefanietaylor5402]

Yes

[@Bee-zk5ym]

Sadly yes 😢

[@cardiac711]

I have never heard anyone say they are comfortable. I've worn them very uncomfortable. I am not a pumps wearer, the forefoot part is too tight while they flopped off my heel. I absolutely hated I purchased them. I ended up just getting the loubishark sneakers. Way better for my aesthetic.

[@peacheskong2245]

Depends on the model. There are some heels and boots considered comfi. But that's what I've heard...

[@tetianalarson7535]

Not comfortable past first 2 minutes😅

[@ShannonTheMojito]

It was interesting to hear what makes a quality pair.

[@kefinkamed]

I would be willing to save up for a pair of CLs, but I gave up the idea when I saw how quickly the red sole becomes quite badly scuffed. There are plenty of high-quality heels out there and given that the red sole is the signature feature of CLs, the fact that it doesn´t last very long is a dealbreaker for me.

[@Selene-cl9gy]

You can apply a sole protector to the bottom of the shoe that prevents that from happening. This is what I do to mine.

[@kefinkamed]

@@Selene-cl9gy Wow, thank you for this, I had no idea!

[@RenHevil]

​@@kefinkamed yep I did the same with a lacquered sole pair and after 2 years you can see some marks and scratches but the red is still there

[@johannakamstra-schickendan7380]

The only thing I am interested in is will the shoes be comfortable and painless, but I found cheaper (relatively) shoes that fit as well and not a name brand. You pay for the name as well.

[@carolinamissaka]

This video is awesome! I’m still not sure whether these shoes are worth the price, but that’s a personal perception as, for me, they do look a bit uncomfortable. Just curious what would be good alternatives 😊

[@kwunnkzz]

LK Bennett are fantastic!

[@jellypish]

Can you do burkinstock leather slippers please?

[@j6453]

I always heard that Louboutins are extremely uncomfortable. To me a quality shoe has to have design, materials, craftsmanship, AND comfort.

[@Didi-m9b]

but if all the materials are best quality as you describe, and the workmanship superb and design too, there is no way they could be sold for 295$ retail as you suggest, from what you show us here it cost to make those shoes at least 300$!
