About shoes?
❤️👠
Except, it isn’t… those lyrics were dumb…
Buy a pair of comfy courts from M&S and a bottle of red acrylic paint
I agree. Probably better idea than buying real expensive and uncomfortable shoes.
Certainly much better for your feet as well as comfort!
I just scored a pair for $199 the sole is wrecked like she stomped and drug her feet all over town with but after a visit to the shoe hospital they will hopefully look brand new 😊
I don’t understand why some ppl do that. I scored a gently used pair off Poshmark. She sent the bags and extra heel taps. She only wore them twice it seems. Taking these to shoe hospital for preventative treatment
I don’t re-sole my Louboutin’s. I do use a thin sole protector but nothing will ever fully prevent the bottom from rubbing off.
You’re a rookie if you can’t tell the difference between real and dups if you can’t see the front sole.
Some fakes are incredibly hard to spot. There are videos of professionals struggling to tell the difference, even up close
love the men’s sneakers and happy to say i’ve had zero problems with them over the years of aggressive wear and tear
it's true, they're not comfortable, but they look beautiful when on, i could care less about the red sole, it's the heel height, design, quality that counts
@Fool TV Depends on the wearer, they're comfortable to me.
@@Joshua-fr1xp you sure?
Have you seen your face?
@@Akhtar93 That made no sense, is my face on my feet?
I really don't anymore understand what design and quality is in this case if it equals only problems to your feet.
@@swordman7895 I'm still breaking my in, they're high heels made to be worn on special occasions etc., (i've had new running shoes where i get blisters) design (personal preference as in appearance & how well the design is made to support and fit your foot), quality (not cheap materials that actually hurt your feet and won't last 1 month after wearing them)
The way i see it is a lose ,lose situation.... Expensive , uncomfortable and a high maintenance shoe !!🤦🤦
Basically $$-$$$-$$$$= $$$$$$$💸🚽
Haha watch Fall of the Cabal and you’ll see why red-bottomed or red shoes in general are popular with the top 1%. “These is bloody shoes” indeed!
Watch Lange Frans - lockdown. It has English subs. Your welcome in advance!
Where can I find that?
There’s a reason they don’t just use red rubber in the first place. They want the sole paint to wear out immediately. It all plays into the status symbol that are Louboutins. As someone said below, “if you keep getting them repaired, then you’re not rich enough to have them in the first place” and that’s the truth. Celebrities wear them once or twice for a night, scuff them up, and then move on to a new pair. Like driving a new car off the lot...once those tires hit pavement, the re-sell value dramatically drops. If your red bottoms always look new with original soles, it’s because you’re rich enough to keep buying new pairs.
Louboutin shoes do not devalue anywhere close to the rate of a car. Some of them even increase
That's utterly ridiculous. How wasteful
@@OnlyMichaelJackson how?
@@wyatt35810 i have a pair that box price is 3k and they resell for up to 5k
love your red soles😎
The red shoe club ,Jeffrey would be proud 👏
Right
That part
We love consumerism
For that price they should already be protected.
I don’t care about design stuff to me it’s a ridiculous concept to walk around in pain , for the sole purpose of getting a certain kind of attention for a material possession you paid way more than is worth , made form materials that cost a fraction. Comfortable shoes are more important that what another persons impression of me is . That’s my opinion, thank you 🙏 God bless those that feel they need to show people that because they paid a lot of money for something they are in some way superior. This is the problem with society they sold out to the media and advertisers.
And that's why all the rich & famous women have bunions & hideous feet, lol😂😂
Heels aren't made for comfort, that's what many don't get. Our feet aren't made to be in that position for so long. So if you're gonna complain then the shoe isn't for you, man or woman. I know they aren't comfortable but I also know that nobody is making me wear them either. Heels aren't for everybody.🤷🏽♂️👠👠
Heels are for everyone but... depends what type of heels. If extremely high... well they won't be comfy
Right! Cheers, Joshua 🙂
Plus u can always buy the flats they used to make from a second hand shop if you want a pair but really can't stand heels
These shoes are not made for walking but sitting at a cocktails bar or La Bijou page restaurant Cannes Cote d’Azure
These shoes are not an investment, an investment is an asset, these are a liability
God bless everyone 🙏🏽
STATUS, STATUS, STATUS, NOT QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY. There are shoes out there for hundreds less that are as good a quality if not better quality than Loboutin's and Jimmy Choo's. His name got pushed to the top by celebs. If a can of crap was sold to a celeb and they liked it then crap in a can would go for thousands of dollars just because a celeb ate it.
Actually he does walk in them, and they are extremely comfortable
I’d rather have comfortable shoes. My feet are Beautiful.
You are a smart lady， wear any high heels still look cool ya
You're a beautiful lady, keep those feet comfy and pretty!
Let me see them
I was watching the Taylor swift movie with my mom and when Taylor was singing the man she showed off her boots and they had red in the bottom and my mom said “you know what that means 🫢“ and i was like what?😅
If I spend that much money on a pair shoes, they better be comfortable
I am high maintenance so this fits my lifestyle. 😎
What is up with the sound?
Where's the warranty for the first year or two? At this price there should be a warranty LOL.
is kind of like buying a used rolex, do i get polished rolex or an unpolished?
An investment is an asset that appreciates over time, quite the opposite of these shoes
i have a pair that has a box price of 3k they are reselling online for up to 5k
I hate when people resole new designer shoes, the leather is very sturdy and doesn't need to be replaced after a few wears. It's much better and cheaper to leave the leather soles intact until they actually start to wear out and need to be replaced. Also, rubber isn't as durable as shoe leather in the long term, I've seen 100 year old shoes who's leather soles still have tons of life left, where a 30 year old rubber sole has dried out and disintegrated. There's a reason that leather has been used for shoe soles for 1000s of years.
Yes, that reason is we didn't have the better rubber.
Leather soles do not last.
@@massimookissed1023 Not in my experience, they last quite a long time and they don't dry out and deteriorate like rubber. Just because they look worn doesn't mean they're worn out.
That how they make extra $$$! it’s not right if u spent more money for repairs!... many designer shoes made like this ( Chanel,Dior etc).But for me shoes must be comfy too!...
So what do you do after they are worn down?
@@kittorloff9039 get a new pair 😂😂😂
Red bottoms. Blood on the sole (soul) kinda like hunters stepping in the blood of the hunted.
The Ed Hardy of lady’s footwear
A lot of people don't realize the reason these shoes are so expensive is because the people behind the shoes get paid a fair wage. In Italy they have strict laws about paying workers fairly, thus part of the price tag. A lot of people do not buy these shoes for the status symbol, they buy them because they're high quality and made by craftsmen.
$700, really???? Who, in their right and sane mind, would throw away hundreds to over $1000 for a pair of shoes??????
Billions of people spend $150 buck$ on $15 dollar sneakers.
That how fashion women do!... & it’s started with $700 as many other brands ( Chanel,Dior,Prada etc) But don’t worry they not comfortable!...
Me I would
Why not get a $40.00 pair of high heels and paint the soles red? Take the money you saved and buy a mutual fund.
Louboutin's are just as (un)comfortable as any other designer shoe. All my sneaker-style Louboutins require that I tape my feet before I wear them. Guess what? It's the same process for my other designer sneakers such as Valentino. My Greggo and Cousin Greg Louboutins are actually incredibly comfortable. I've worn them many a full-day and never had a problem. Designer sneakers on the other hand? Nightmare.
I will never understand the appeal of wearing uncomfortable shoes just because they have a certain name on the label lmao
If they have to send them in to repair then they ain’t rich enough to have them.
Who cares!.
I won’t wear uncomfortable shoes for look good or rich, no thank you.
You pay for an uncomfortable shoe and then pay to maintain it…I’ll pass😅
even the mens shoes are uncomfortable! And if you think they are, please try on a greggo or greggy chick in patent and imagine you have to wwear them for 5 hours hahaha. still absoluely in love with them and if i could i would wear them all day every day !
It’s beautiful! Expensive !But not comfy! I don’t like sole as the the same on many other brands(Chanel,Dior etc)!!!...If u buying expensive car it’s mean luxury!...
The dirty little secret - they are made from flesh of children!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. You are funny in a dark way.
@@nosaoyemade9618 I’m not being funny at all do your digging. Look up on TH-cam what it means when you talk about red shoes and who wears the red shoes.
💯💯💯People are so conditioned and programmed by the media. Sheep lead to slaughter in a line.
If only they knew they were made with Adrenochrome… baby blood.
Wake up Fools‼️
Yup the red shoe club😢 sick pedophiles & pedovores
@@nancybest5786i did my digging and u are spot on whoever doesn't believe keep ur head in the sand cus there's a lot going on that we believe that isn't true we been lied too about tons and tons of stuff
Eh
Now for man said that the shoes is made by woman that’s why they’re not comfortable how would that go
