Luxury Shoe Disaster: Christian Louboutin Under Fire

[@aaaakita5534]

Used to work for Christian Louboutin, I thought everyone in the head office would be wearing CL every single day as we’re entitled to 2 pairs per season, and I was so wrong. Fact is everyone has 2 pairs sitting under the desk and we’d slip them on if we’re heading upstairs for a meeting with the VP or someone from Paris came to visit. I went to the boutique to pick up a pair, tried on a 90mm, got up to walk over to the mirror and I was already in pain lol!

It's pretty normal to put rubber soles on shoes that are 100% leather before wearing them as the leather soles are not meant to be worn on wet surfaces, but the fact that it ended up like that after only two wears means the leather sole was very, very thin.

These shoes are so stupid. They are basically indoor slippers. We can’t even wear them outside on the pavement. When I bought a pair of Manolos, the boutique in Seoul offered me the rubber sole option. I thought the whole thing was ridiculous, and that was the last pair of luxury shoes I bought. They are for people who are driven everywhere and are for indoor wear only. I’m an avid walker, so I only wear running shoes from New Balance now.

[@SpikyBrandee]

I'm so disappointed in Christian Louboutin. I purchased the yellow and pink Paloma in July of this year and carried her once. I stored her back in her dust bag afterwards. I pulled her out about a month and a half later to take her to an event. I noticed that the paint on the top handles had completely come off to show the white leather underneath. I high tailed it right back to the store and they sent it to repairs to see if it was a known flaw. When it came back my associate called me and said it was in fact a KNOWN QA issue. Yet, when I went back to the store to pick it up, another associate told me that Louboutin is using "transitional paints" that would change color over time. Um...what? I have quite a few designer bags, LV, Mqueen, Balenciaga, Moschino, and none of them have done that, even after several carries. Louboutin wouldn't give me my money back, but offered to exchange for either the same style bag "that will likely do the same thing" or exchange it for something else. There wasn't anything I wanted to exchange it for at the time, so just left with my bag. I own several pairs of Louboutin shoes that I rarely wear, I'm so nervous of ruining them. I won't ever buy anything from Christian Louboutin again after this bag incident. My heart (and wallet) hurt that I paid so much money only to have the paint come off after one carry.

I actually got a pair of white versace runners a few years ago, and I swear I only wore them about 5 times, and the sole gave in. Little holes started coming in them , and stones were going into them, too. For the price and everything. I know for a fact they won't believe me that I only wore them about 5 times. The actual shoe is perfect. Just the soles on both shoes are awful bad. The warranty is up now. I kept forgetting to bring them back. So my other options are probably just to get the soles repaired. It's like I was wearing them every day for about a year or two.

I prefer well constructed shoes, so I would never buy CLs. Dancing while wearing shoes with slick leather soles has been a thing for decades. It does take skill, which is something my mother encouraged me to develop. CLs with their painted leather soles don’t really fit the bill.

[@yvonneburns2786]

Her shoes are pining for the fjords

[@davidhunternyc1]

Yes, the shoe should be repaired for free. "Painted" leather soles are begging to be destroyed. There's a reason they never existed before. The amount of friction and abuse applied to the enamel with every step will result in damage. If the color were epoxied, the longevity of the shoe would be greater. For this price, all Louboutin shoes should have replaceable red rubber soles. Make the rubber shiny lipstick red but enamel isn't the way to go.

[@Jsa460]

And the fact that the leather itself is peeling not just the paint. I owned a pair of leather soled shoes once that got walked everywhere (including getting wet and on gravel) for over a year before that started happening. The quality is just s***t. But yeah if they want a shiny red surface it'd need to be rubber. (And even then it'd get scuffed up with wear.)

These shoes are status symbols. Anyone who regularly wears any shoes with a narrow toe box or think beauty is pain is asking for trouble. If you're lucky you'll only have bunyons to shave down later. True suckers for fashion will get a little hardware in their toes to straighten them. Your feet carry the weight of you & whatever you're carrying all day everyday. Why treat them like that? I run and dance (picking up ballet again now too). I love fashion & pretty things as much as the next girl. Not enough to ruin my healthy feet.

I saw her video a few days ago I love her content usually and the only thing I can say about this video is seriously if you are buying something do research 🤯 everyone who is slightly interested in red bottoms knows you need to add the rubber sole we can argue it it’s right or wrong but if you decide to buy do the necessary research don’t blame others Or maybe if you spend that amount of money without checking you probably have some extra that you’re not worried about it 🤨

I worked in luxury retail before and almost everyone told customers to get their shoes red tapped or a shield on the red and they were only to be worn indoors if you wanted them to last. After everyone’s first wear not following the rules this would be obvious. If they want to keep a customer repair for free but they likely don’t care at this point because people have been yelling this since Sex in the City was on.

[@angelinimartini]

The reason it does not already come with the red rubber sole is for aesthetics. People buy the shoe to wear a work of art looking thing on their feet and snap a few photos with the glistening red soles. You put on the rubber bottom they provide and it does not look as pleasing. However, some 3M film is your best option to keep it looking nice and protected. But yes the shoes are not functional, they are for aesthetics only. People keep trying to wear them out, some can, but the think is it’s just like a painting, it would be dysfunctional to take it all about town. You might hurt yourself trying to open a door.

[@hallowaynorth1878]

It hit me recently. Luxury IS affordable...for the uber wealthy. It's actually extremely affordable for them as often, even with the price increases, luxury expenses still only amount to less than 1-10% of their income. Think about it. The most recent convos have been about luxury being so expensive and so low in quality....but its only become more expensive for the aspirational shoppers because we're collectively experiencing layoffs and inflation. In contrast, wealthy shoppers have made more money than ever during this time period while the 99% have been struggling. We are living in the new gilded era with enough billionaires that millionaires appear middle class by comparison. With that in mind, these items are actually NOT low in quality either. They're the expected quality for the intended end user---the uber wealthy. The uber wealthy can after all afford to buy and buy in such large amounts that they never get the opportunity to wear it more than once. The designer brands are intentionally building in planned obsolescence into their products to ensure that their wealthy buyers continue to have a reason to buy. Luxury has always been about the overpriced, the novel, and the ephemeral with the ability to transact in those characteristics being part of the privilege of wealth. The problem is that all of the beautiful high end brands that used to fall under the category of bridge clothing and which were sold by department stores to middle and upper class consumers are no longer around. This means that for the aspirational crowd (the middle and upper middle class), when we look for something "better" than fast fashion or mall brands, we are often left with no other choice than to look to luxury under the mistaken belief that those high prices will mean quality. However, that can't be further from the truth which does not necessarily suit our needs or our pockets.

With the exorbitantly expensive stuff, you're only supposed to wear it one or two times and then use it for display in your living room-sized closet, or give it to the help so you can claim they "owe" you later on. /s The way the tips of her shoes are mangled and the bottom of the soles are peeling back, I'm guessing she shuffles rather than picks her feet up when she walks. I wonder how many times she tripped in those shoes, because she had to have. A metal tip wouldn't stop her from tripping, or keep the tip of the sole from peeling back either -- unless it wrapped around the top of the shoe. I remember being told to pick up my feet when I walked when I was a kid because I was wearing out the bottom of my (much much cheaper) shoes too quickly and it sunk in. The soles are the last thing to go now. That said, this is reminding me of the Cybertruck. 'Don't let it get wet...if it does get wet, dry it off immediately or else.' Expensive doesn't equal practical or well-made. Don't drive it anywhere interesting, don't wear it outside for more than a few minutes, best you just display it in a climate-controlled box and show it off there.

In the Bible it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, that's nothing compared to British weather.

Yes, replacement shoes with the rubber soles & metal tips. This is unacceptable.

Brands like that are just posers. Even rich people don’t buy that crap.
