How To Make Christian Louboutin 'So Kate' Shoes Comfortable

[@avanoelle2805]

I don't care what anyone says, I love these shoes, I wear fast flats in the parking lot and when I get in where I'm going I put these on. Lotion your feet, makes them more comfortable.

[@doraganem79]

hahahaha, yesterday I tried to use them for the second time, I walked around my house for about 10 minutes and I couldn't take anymore, I used half and complete gel insoles and in the end, the most comfortable thing was to use a different pair of shoes and return the CL to its place.

Just bought my first pair of Louboutins the other day, After trying on several pair, I opted for a lower pair that I could actually walk in without looking like I was dying.

[@london1826]

Holly Katz Style the 100mm are the best. I have over 8 pairs of the so Kate’s (120mm) and to be honest they only hurt if you’re not suedes to walking in high high heels. Every shoe (normal regular heels is usually about 88mm-95mm) so yeah. But Obed you get used to that arch you can seriously run in them I use mine all the time specially out in nyc & that’s a lot of walking or when I travel I wear them to the airport lol.

When did you try these shoes on? Was it morning, afternoon or evening? I worked at a Nordstroms Rack and will let you in on a little secret. If you buy your shoes about 5 pm in the evening you will get you actual shoe size. You feet shrink during the night because you do not put any pressure on your feet. Then you are on your feet all day and your feet spread out to it's official size. That is the correct time to get fitted for shoes. They will be a bit lose in the morning but as the day goes buy you feet will grow into your shoes and you will never have any problems with a shoe feeling too tight. Also get your feet measured as well so you can get a true size. Shoe stores used to do that back in the day, they do not do that now because the ones selling the shoes no nothing about the shoes they are selling. They just stick the shoes on you and let you walk around in them. Plus Louboutin has said this before, His shoes were meant to hurt . If you are not suffering you are not worth the shoes you are wearing.

[@Gamuchimbs]

So helpful

[@charlottejay2742]

Odd; I'm exactly the opposite. For me, shoes are at their tightest in the morning. Wonder why that is.

[@jetcitysinatra7300]

@@charlottejay2742 when do you measure your foot? Or do you just try on a size until you find one that is comfortable. Do you have a wide foot and are trying on a regular shoe? Try getting a shoe size done. Most shoe stores do not do that anymore and if you buy them off the net you are stuck with what they send you. I know from experience of both working at the Nordstrom rack and also being a photographer who uses models for my artwork. If you wear an 8 wide but can't find a wide go with an 8.5 or a 9. Your feet do spread out over the day unless you wear heels all day in your job.

[@charlottejay2742]

@@jetcitysinatra7300 I just try on a size until I find one that I believe will EVENTUALLY be comfortable. Remember that the vast majority of heels need to pinch when you first get them. If they don't, after a week or two of regular wear, whether spread over a month or more or concentrated within a brief period of time, they will simply be too big and will fall off your foot. My width is average. I fit most heels, and suffer a bit at first in most of them until they're broken in. You've got to figure that most heels stretch, a lot more than traditional shoe-fitting instructions seem able to acknowledge. And I definitely do not get a size larger to compensate for a shoe that is simply too narrow, because I know it won't stay on my heel during walking, which drives me bats. I either decide the leather is soft enough that the toe box will eventually stretch to fit me (those actually tend to be the most comfortable shoes I have, once I get past the purgatory of break-in) or I don't get it at all. And no, to repeat, for some strange reason, my feet do NOT tend to spread out over the day. Instead, they tend to be fat and swollen after sleep, and shoes become more comfortable for me in the afternoon and early evening.

I can walk in everything! Except for the “So Kate” I have two of them. Nude and black. Torture device is a great way to describe them. They are not uncomfortable for me the issue is walking. I can’t seem to walk even remotely normal on non carpet surfaces. After four years of ignoring them I decided to google my issue. I’ll definitely look into taking them somewhere.

[@jetcitysinatra7300]

Also if you do not have a good arch to your feet these types of heels will not work for you no matter how much you want to wear them. Not everyone was made to wear stiletto heels like this. And that is ok as long as you know that some heels were meant for some women and not others.

[@boldennotaryla]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and fashion tips, they are invaluable.

Where did you get this done? My cobbler in Seattle said he won’t shorten the heal because it is made of metal. Can I send them out somewhere? Help a girl out!

I love CL's, but truthfully they are brutallly painful for extended wear. Anything more than an hour is sheer torture. In my closet they've become "wall art" because they're so lovely and that way I enjoy them without the suffering...

[@Tabatha437]

So I just got them and trying the sales guys thought they fit good and offer me cushions. At home my foot is slipping inside so I figured they are too big, size 40, so I went back to the store to try them on in a 39.5. I was still slipping. So I tried the 39 the fit was perfect, lol except my toes were so bent,😬 the new sales person said that do to the height of the heel it was less dangerous and more sensible to get the 39 and stretch out the toe area, which Christian louboutin prides himself on toe cleavage 😱 than getting the 39.5 and them breaking in and I’ll slip more later. Your professional and personal option PLEASE!! He also said they were valet shoes only. Get carried back to the car & have foldable slip one in my bag.

There are able to cut about 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch off i was NYC area for several,years found 2 high quality cobblers one was the Shoe Spa did the 1/4 lift cut down and special color match rubber replacement sole on one pair they are very comfortable and non slip! And I found the place to buy the correct color replacement to touch up the soles! My biggest complaint about these very overpriced but gorgeous, sexy to die for shoes are that after a very few wearing the sole starts to look terrible. And I either use the above kit as long as the leather sole is still useable!
