I’ll never forget it, February 10th, 2002- the day my infatuation with Christian Louboutin shoes officially started.
It was Sunday evening and a new episode of Sex and the City was airing. I, like nearly every girl in their 20’s, was glued to my television watching Carrie shoe shop with Samantha in preparation for a date with Mr. Big. Carrie proceeded to spot nothing short of a pink piece of utopic shoe art in a Christian Louboutin store window and famously exhailing “Hello Lover”. Now in my 30’s, I’m lucky to have amassed a sizeable collection of Louboutin’s, ranging in various styles and colors. My go Louboutin shoes are the “Pigalle” and “Pigalle Follies”, styles the designer brings back every year due to its classic shapes. My preferred height for Pigalles is the 100mm, cheap Christian Louboutin red leather shoeswhich translates to a 4” heel, but the shoes also comes in a 120mm (4.8”) and 85mm (3.3”) option. The toe box of the Pigalle is smaller than the cult classic “So Kate”, giving your toes more flexibility in my opinion. The Pigalle heel is also slightly thicker, and hence more stable, than the “So Kate”.I’m often asked how I wear my Pigalle’s for hours on end; in fact a few summers ago, I attended a wedding and danced for four hours straight in them without so much as an ouch. Per the request of some girlfriend’s, I’ve put together a few industryreplica Christian Louboutin secrets to make Louboutin heels actually wearable. |
