Why did I think they were going to paint red over the soles with a brush like how Andy's name was painted over on Woody's boot?

[@HandbagClinicOfficial]

Hi Janice, We will use brush work for smaller fine detail work but to ensure that perfectly smooth, high shine finish we use fine airbrushed layers of pigment as a brush may leave brush lines. - Handbag Clinic

[@nataliakozie6045]

It's so bizarre how spotless the shoes are beside the damaged sole O.o there's literally no signs of use on the inside

[@marinemds]

Because the sole is very fragile and the red paint comes of right away. The leather is more resistant and qualitative so it doesn't look worn off as quickly :)

[@shaina963]

It worn off the first time of use.

[@xotennisxgirlox]

That’s the point of Louboutin. They’re meant for the wealthy. You wear them once, destroy the sole, and buy a new pair. You’ll never see a celebrity wearing the same pair on multiple occasions.

[@shaina963]

CNoelle I’m not the wealthy but I own almost 50 pairs, just about how much love you have for THE RED BOTTOMS.

[@HandbagClinicOfficial]

Hi There, There are a couple of reasons as to why these don't show too much wear except for the sole. They have been re heeled recently so the heel tips are not too worn down. They are patent leather, this leather is highly durable as it is leather sealed into a plastic. The plastic coating provides significant protection to the leather. These haven't been heavily worn, we do see soles/shoes which are significantly more worn than this and can also restore these. Hope that answers your question Kind Regards Handbag Clinic

[@SoelPockychan]

When I was a kid my mom used to take me with her to a small restoration shop to drop her shoes and bags, we loved sitting down and chat with the old gentleman owning the shop and watch him do the restorations. This channel brings me back so many memories, we were so sad when the shop closed 😢 and I wish this trade will stay alive for many generations to come.

Honestly everytime I say ine of those shoes I can´t get over the fact how BRILLIANT the idea of the red soles on every show is. Like, thats the best marketing you can do and its sooo iconic aswell. Blows my mind every time

[@volumen1y2]

Is incredible how you could find the exact color of Louboutin shoes

[@TheAzerath]

The exact color used for Loubutin shoes is a pigment that Loubutin has trademarked. It’s called “Chinese Red.” Approved vendors can purchase the color from the manufacturer to provide resoling.

[@Minkyu85]

You can match the color very easily.

[@elenamiller3610]

Kekky how can you that?

[@HandbagClinicOfficial]

Hi Violet, Our team go through a strict training programme which includes colour matching. We match by the skilled eye of our Artisans but do have a spectrophotometer for any more challenging colours or shades. This is a very common restoration for us and our team are very familiar with making the perfect red for this work. - Handbag Clinic

[@itzchichi]

I said the same thing bout the color. Cus I heard mr. Louboutin made it so the he was the only one who can have that shade of red lol

You’d think with the price you are paying for these shoes, the sole would have a better longevity than those on other shoes; but they are just the same 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@adel6365]

Sarah Tiara I mean the part that is chipping of is the part where you walk. And even those shoes are high quality and expensive it’s obvious that part is gonna get destroyed.

[@MyLovelyButtercup]

The price you are paying is for the trademark..

[@user-uu5ql6ob6e]

Its really just brand value that they are paying for

[@adel6365]

Kim Vargas actually you have to pay

[@Gladiator_in_a_Suit]

Sarah Tiara right?! I never buy designer stuff for this reason, because at least if something defective happens I won’t feel bad discarding it.

[@yellow_maiden]

Just saw a video of someone repairing the same brand of shoes. He put some rubber (whatever that material isl to repair the red bottoms of the shoe. But you actually painted just like how it was made.

I’ve only seen one other restoration and yours is more convincing that the shoes didn’t get repaired. The other channel I went on glued on a red piece to the bottom which made it quite obvious it was restored while yours looks like they never been worn. Now this is what I call a restoration.

[@Milestonemonger]

I've worn my Louboutins only a few times in five years. Why? Because they are uncomfortable as shit.

[@absentminded7230]

Whats the point of buying shoes with soles not meant to walk on them

It could be worse, the soles could still be painted with nail polish (that may be a myth but I heard they used to be painted with red nail polish).

[@carennorthcutt7724]

Photo ops?

[@mrselfdestruct7605]

Uh you are meant to walk on them? Just because they're designer doesn't mean they're magic, they wear down over time just like literally every other shoe on the planet

[@DarkKittycat]

@@mrselfdestruct7605 honey, you walk one step on pavement with that shoe and the soles are already ripped, i dont expect magic but better soles than a dollar store shoe, leather is not meant to be walked on, thats the whole reason we humans need shoes to begin with

@@DarkKittycat I own few pairs of heels with leather sole and those are not supposed to be heavily used, just like very high heels. They aren't made for walking on a pavement. Just like corsets, not for practical reasons.

[@luxaholicanonymous2577]

They should place a protective see through film (like they do with cellphones) on the sole to protect the red paint. Why doesn’t Louboutin invent a red sole that does not come off? 😜

[@hannahstolzer2085]

You can get those placed at most shoe cobblers! Louboutin intentionally uses red paint and not red leather for the sole so that it wears off 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@BiteSizedCrafter]

They have sole protectors you can buy that match the color of the sole. Also they will cause the sole to have more grip so you don’t fall.

[@JasminMiettunen]

Hannah Stolzer but why would they want it to wear off intentionally, if not just to save on costs?

[@hannahstolzer2085]

Jasmin Miettunen Because while Louboutins are a symbol of money, having brand new louboutins for every event is even more so. And how can you tell? Their red sole.
