- After wearing my Zagg Screen Protectors a half-dozen times, I figured I’d give you guys a peek at what the bottoms of the shoes look like :)
Since posting this video, I recorded myself applying the Zagg protectors to my most recent pair:
Tutorial: Applying Zaggs to Your New Louboutin Shoes! • Tutorial: Applying Zag...
“They make me feel beaut and pretty” I respect that 100%, designer has the same impact on me :)
I definitely love how sleek the dress shoes are and how crazy/cool the sneakers are!! Always feel like a rockstar in them!! Do you have a favorite pair?
And Ariana Grande told him to get them
You’re adorable 😊 and the excitement in your voice shows how much you love the shoes. My late husband was always excited to watch me open things when I got them in the mail or went to the store and picked them up. He loved how much joy showed on my face. I now know what that meant to him watching your video. Thank you for sharing Bobby Allen 😬 (BTW….I’m an Hermes and Gucci guy)
🙃 thanks for the comment and for sharing your story! There’s something about the red soles on these shoes that makes me excited every time I see them … I’m a Taurus, so maybe it’s a “bull see red” thing 🤣
@@LouboutinReviews Definitely. I’m a Taurus as well. While I know the purpose for the video was to show how the screen guards work. I wanted to let you know that SoleGuard products make those already in the shape of the shoe form from the specific designer. Also in specific sizes 😊. If you didn’t know that already I mean, and for your viewers knowledge. I use them myself.
@@ericc3548 are they still the ones that give it a “cloudy” appearance when attached? For most shoes I would use them, and even for a woman’s heel I would probably recommend them, but I went with the Zaggs because they are as close to true clear as possible and from a small distance don’t look like anything is on them
@@LouboutinReviews …..the ones I order for my Gucci shoes are completely clear. I have one pair of Hermes cap toes, but the rest of that brand is drivers and sneakers. But I never really noticed it being cloudy.
Lol you are too funny I love it! Thank you for the follow up. 😍
Of course!!! Thanks for watching :)
I'm definitely trying this with my Lane cowboy boots. They have a gorgeous teal blue on the bottom I want to preserve.
Exactly!! Anytime the soles are a beautiful color like that, I just have to preserve the look as long as possible!! I know they can be refinished or you can replace them with rubber, but nothing beats that “new” look! I hope this works out for you!! I’ve got a tutorial up on my channel and there are a lot of other tutorials on TH-cam as well if you need any help!
I just came back to these videos.
I been using zagg protectors for 10 years now. They hold up for years. I was buying the tablet size. I just purchased another pair of louboutins and all zagg makes now is glass screen protectors. I went on ebay to find the plexiglass screen protectors. I put zagg protectors on 8 pairs of my shoes. This last pair was a challenge finding the zagg protectors even on ebay. I found a seller with the old zagg plexi protectors for iPad mini and I brought 4 of them in case i buy more loubs. I think I'm done. Anyway, it seems that zagg only makes glass protectors now for phones and tablets.
@@rickphilly1975 sadly I’ve been running into the same issue … I thankfully have about 5 backups … but I agree; the protectors have been great for me!
I’ve gotten more into the sneakers the last few years and I don’t do anything special with the soles on those… but I guess we’ll all have to figure out something else :(
@LouboutinReviews it's been a few years since I bought new loubs and it never occurred to me that they wouldn't have the zagg protectors available anymore. I got lucky this time.
very useful content!
Could you post a follow up video when you decide to remove the protectors? I’d like to know if the original paint would peel or not..
sinai lee I’ve peeled them off once... when I went to take off the two iPhone sized ones and replace with an iPad sided one to not have the seam... I was Ssuuuper careful and it came off ok, but it didn’t feel like the kind of thing I would want to repeat much... but I’ve gotten at least 15 wears out of my most worn pairs and they still look good... so if I can even double that it’s worth it... you can always refinish the bottoms and start the process over if it does come off...but getting that many wears makes it reasonable to me, if that makes sense:
th-cam.com/video/CGLgiiNmo2g/w-d-xo.html
Those gray Loubis are beautiful! They don’t have those anymore, I wish they did because I would have loved some for my husband 😮
Absolutely love them!!! I even picked up the Chelsea Boots in the same grey suede!! If you’re searching for the pair you can try “Louboutin Daviol Flat” or “Louboutin derby” and add grey to the search … I believe the color is called “shadow” and sometimes online the official photos look more matte grey for some reason
@@LouboutinReviews Omg I have the Chelsea boots!!! How do you protect that sole? It’s so funky 😅
@@LouboutinReviews and thank you by the way! 🫶🏼
@@labitcoineragt3596 if it’s the rubber sole with the weird diamond shaped in it, then I don’t protect those … same with the sneakers, I just kinda wipe them up when I get home or after a few wears… the boots I have are the “Roadie Flat” style so are painted red like the dress shoes…
i.ytimg.com/vi/nS83FCJsvjY/maxresdefault.jpg
@@LouboutinReviews oh those boots are beautiful 😍😍😍
Yes I have that rubber sole with funky diamond shapes that stick out 🫠
Wow!.. so it actually helps. Love the shoes baby!!😍😍🤙
Totally helps!! I rotate and wear one of my pair probably once every 2 weeks currently so they’ve all got between 5-20 wears depending on how new they are and so far so good! I would never NOT put the Zagg protectors on a new pair at this rate!
@@LouboutinReviews thx mate!😎✌
Do the screen protectors make the shoe slippery at all when you’re wearing them and walking in them?
To me, not in the slightest… when you put them on it’s like taking a step in a brand new pair on carpet which can be slightly slippery even without the protectors… but after you wear them and get pitting,etc from the ground then I would say I don’t even notice them at all at that point
@@LouboutinReviews thanks!
Aren't the screen protectors tempered glass? My question is how do they not crack with body weight?
@avinashappunni5859 no, you have to track down the original “wet apply” kind. They can still be found, but back when I made this video they were far more abundant. I still have a stack of 5 over here for future use
@@LouboutinReviews Thank you for answering that one. Much appreciated!
Can you do an instructional video on how you cut the screen protector to the shoe’s shape & stick it on?
Thank you
Once I realized this got traction a couple years ago I went ahead and did just that :)
th-cam.com/video/UkMXPOijOHg/w-d-xo.html
Good stuff. Very smart and creative!
Thanks!! I actually wore the pair in this video again yesterday for my birthday and still going strong! I will never NOT do this on my new pairs. It preserves the look for a long time, which is my favorite part about these shoes 😂
I have been looking online for 3 months and cant find the gray oxfords anywhere in my size, if anyone has suggestions on where to try im all ears
Thank you for replying to my first question! One more question for you I just bought a pair of brown greggo flats and I am looking for screen protectors like yours however, on Amazon I’m only finding the glass material protectors! I know your video is a few years old, but do you happen to have the link or description to the screen protectors that you had bought, thank you so much in advance😊
The company no longer makes them as far as I can tell… when I need a new one I check eBay / Amazon for any of the original kind. As long as it doesn’t say glass, that’s the first sign… then I look at the back of the package and if it mentions anything about a. Squeegee (and possibly a gel applicator) then you’re good. There are regular ones, HD ones etc that all fit the bill they just can’t say “glass.”
Some people will list them as “original” or “wet apply” but not guaranteed to say that anywhere
@@LouboutinReviews thank you! I’m super excited!
@@jacobsmith7498 keep me posted if you find something and how it goes for you!
So would 1 iPad screen protector cover 1 pair?
I would say it depends on the size of your shoe … I wear a size 9.5 / 42.5 and I’m able to get both shoes plus the heel parts on the men’s dress shoes. If your shoe size is much larger then it might not 🤔
Here’s a video I made applying them and you can see my template of how I fit everything on there:

Hi I was wondering if you could help confirm authenticity of GREGGO OXFORD shoes, do they always have a curved red sole on the heel or can it be horizontal? They sell them in Flannels UK, they’re also £695 vs £750 in other shops which makes me think they might be fake?
Thanks
Depending on the style, I’ve seen it different ways over the years … if you take a bunch of pictures, there’s a Facebook group “Authentic Detective Forum” that will gladly assist with authenticating … they have experts for all sorts of luxury brands!
i assume you’re from the UK, flannels sells only authentics, i’ve bought some gregg’s oxford shoes from here. I guess depending on sizes etc there can be slight differences
Thanks for the video. I just went on the Zagg website....I'm sure a lot has changed since you made this video. Any idea on which one of the current protectors they have listed that I should pick for my shoes?
So I find that all the newer ones are made of glass and won’t work… I currently have about 6 in a stack on reserve for myself 😂 but when I needed a new one I would normally go on eBay and search for one that mentions “original” and the contents include a squeegee … I always try for iPad sized to get more surface area
I ran a search and these appear to be ones that would work:
www.ebay.com/itm/285509599898?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=6FB0xkMnSNa&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=aJPv19EnRWG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
@@LouboutinReviews you're awesome. Thanks man
Ahahahaha i love this!! Good content man
Thanks!!! The pair in this video was my first and still going strong with the Zagg protectors!! Keeping in mind I don’t wear them excessively ;) Thanks for the kudos!
@@LouboutinReviews perfect man ! Thinking of getting myself a pair for college, would you recommend them if you are going to be wearing them daily?
@@Lu-jx3mi for daily wear, I’d be more inclined to go with a sneaker ... since those can be cleaned up on the bottoms and definitely don’t have to worry about wear and tear as much... also depends on how you upkeep shoes in general ... like, I always keep shoe trees in my dress shoes and rotate them so the wear is spread out. And if there’s a lot of walking, etc it all factors in. I find the suede dress shoes to be the most comfortable amongst the dress shoes I own, but they’re also the most susceptible to damage from constant use. Any pair you’ve got your eye on?
@@LouboutinReviews yes i quite fancy the “louboutin oxford greggo” as i will be wearing a suit.
@@Lu-jx3mi Gotcha!! Then I think it all just depends on your personal finances / expectations with the shoes 😂 I have a friend that buys them, wears them constantly and just gets them refinished every so often. Another friend I know just puts the red rubber on them immediately. I’m a school teacher so I’m careful with my budget but I splurge on shoes and Transformers 😂 For me, I love the bright red painted look, so my goal with the screen protectors was to preserve that look for as long as possible. I will say my most worn pair is like 20 something wears so I can’t speak to literal daily use, but they’ve worked so far! If they eventually get worn to crap on the bottom, I would personally get them refinished and restart the process with the Zaggs... I got plenty of wears out of them that way! Louboutin is also more of a flashy shoe than a practical one so as long as you’re excited about a pop of red, it’ll do the trick!!
Yo tengo zapatos Louboutin y cada cierto tiempo tengo que pintar las suelas porque se gastan. Soy de Ecuador y esos protectores no hay aquí
Yo también compré pintura roja por acaso lo necesito! Ojalá eses protectores me sirvan para mucho tiempo, porque me encanta el color!
@@LouboutinReviews Dónde compraste los protectores?
Simplemente son Zagg para iPad (no los de vidrio, sino los originales) ... Rastreé alrededor de los zapatos (con extra cm), los puse igual de un protector de celular, y cuidadosamente cortaba el material extra con tijeras pequeñas. Hay varios videos explicando el proceso (no sé si haya en español) y yo he llevado los zapatos 10 o más veces sin muchos problemas ... he oído que ayuda más hacer cuando son nuevos... lo hice con dos pares de zapatos pero lo hice antes de ponérmelos, entonces no sé cómo es la adhesión cuando ya tienen rasguños
Me parece a mi que con ese protector resbalaria mas de lo normal, lo mejor es que se desgasten naturalmente y si quieres devolverle la vida a la suela color incluido hay una zapateria en Paris que se llama Minuit Moins 7, la cual es la zapateria autorizada por Louboutin para realizar ese trabajo y cuesta 90 euros, ya el envio depende de su pais...pero quedan fabulosos
Lo bueno es que para mi no se hace más resbaladizos! Puedo ver que parece así pero no lo es! Tengo un amigo que a él le gusta desgastarlos y después tener las suelas restauradas, pero mi intención con los protectores es tener zapatos “nuevos” para 20+ veces y volver a repetir el proceso si haya necesario. Él no puede ponerlos 20 veces sin ruinar la suela. Cada quien tiene su manera, y ninguna está incorrecta :) es que a mi me encanta como parece con suela nueva y por eso quiero mantener este “look” lo más que puedo!! Espero que entiendas mi español jaja
hi, do they fit to size or should I size up/down?
It’s hard to say exactly because everyone has different shaped feet and these shoes are expensive 😂 I would always recommend being able to try a few on if that’s possible… for me, personally, I don’t have wide feet… and I find the dress shoes true to size. I wear 9.5 MOST of the time and a 42.5 works for me… the sneakers run very large on all but one of my pair and I started ordering a half size down after my first pair of sneakers I bought online… you can always add an extra insole to help with that if needed. If you’re looking at a loafer style shoe (no lace dress shoe) then you might want to size down half a size too so that the shoe doesn’t get too loose as it breaks in… hopefully that helps some!
Where did you buy the color for the sole?
Are you referring to the red touch up paint? If so, it’s called “Walk on Red” by Angelus... I picked it up on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B018R47MHY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_dEZQEb6WVS5Z4
Where can i find these ones ? It’s not available on the website.
Hirdhay Riar The shoes or the Zagg screen protectors? Usually I can find the Zagg protectors by searching on Amazon, but make sure it’s the wet apply kind, NOT the glass ones! The shoes I’m not sure. The grey suede was from several seasons ago and I don’t know if you can still find them other than maybe resale... the black ones with the straps are a pair almost always in stock called the Mortimer.
My 2 favorite places to shop are:
www.zoofashions.com
and
fined3sign.com
They generally have the best prices and I can vouch for their authenticity!
Oh wow, great video
Kittyliver90 thank you!!
Bobby Allen I’m thinking about getting the boots for $1200 but I’m really thinking about it
Kittyliver90 I definitely say if you’re gonna splurge on a pair, let it be something you really like and versatile enough to wear out for years to come on special occasions :)
Do you have a link to the pair you’re considering?
Kittyliver90 if you like the taller heal and pointier toe, that’s the one!! I tent to prefer their Kicko/Samson/Roadie style... yet to pick up a boot, but definitely on my radar!
I wanna ask....... are louboutins shoes good for daily use?
Firdaus Radzi Izat I consider them more of a special occasion shoe, as I’m sure with constant wear the bottoms will eventually scuff... without protectors, any leather soled shoe will wear out depending on the amount of concrete walking you do... that said, the leather on the shoe itself is good quality and if properly taken care of should last! With the protectors on them, and owning a couple pair now, I might only pop one on every few weeks so they are in a rotation. I know I’m rambling lol but to answer your question, I would personally never use them as a daily shoe, more because I like popping them on for special occasions or the occasional trip around. Also depends on your income and spending cash. I have a friend who buys them all the time and wears them down, sends to a cobbler for resole, and does it again! I don’t have that kind of cash as a school teacher so I want mine to last as long as possible ;)
@@LouboutinReviews Thanks man,I really appreciate it
I like his red bottom.
Thanks!! I’m loving them too!
Are they comfortable
I generally like dress shoes, so I find them as comfortable as any other … but nothing out of this world … the goal is clearly the fashion side of the aisle, so it depends what interested you about them and what you’re used to wearing.
I do find that the suede ones feel the best out of the ones I own, but they’re also the ones you have to be more careful with due to the material.
The typical person would probably get these for special occasions and I find them perfect for that. But if you’re looking for an “everyday dress shoe” I probably wouldn’t go this route unless you just have plenty of money to spend on them. I have around 13 pair now of their dress shoes/sneakers and I usually wear like one or two a week, so they get rotated and don’t really wear out, so I plan to have them for a very long time… whereas I have “daily” $100-150 dress boots that I wear most days to work and I get about a year out of them before they need replacing
Yassss
3 snaps!! 😂
Do you think it is a good idea to clean my junior low top sole with a toothbrush and clorox wipes?is it worth to buy the protectors for these pairs?
Depends on your goal, but I don’t personally protect my Louboutin sneakers with any kind of sole cover… I do, however, wipe them down as soon as I get home … sometimes with a baby wipe, or some generic sneaker wipes I picked up on Amazon if they’re a little extra dirty. That keeps them looking reasonably new for the next time… Main thing is make sure that anything you use to clean the sole is safe for whatever the rest of the shoe is made of (leather, suede, etc)… if the rest of the shoe isn’t white, you wouldn’t want a bleach product to get on those parts on accident, for instance. Which design/color did you pick up?
@@LouboutinReviews i got the low top Louis Junior black leather spike flat and those wipes dont have bleach they are more for disinfect i clean them several times with the wipes and toothbrush and it ends up really well i drop a drip of the component that the wipe has on the leather and clean it quickly just to see if there is a decrease in color but no its still dark
@@frushgrifls7282 Good to know and for anyone else that might read this!! When I posted this video (my first) I was much more into the dress shoes and wanting to keep the red preserved but I have since become a huge fan of the sneakers once I started finding designs I liked!
@@LouboutinReviews yes i can tell that the toothbrush and the clorox wipes help a lot you as a teacher maybe you have used one of those wipes that are made for disifect that comes in a white bottle to clean students chairs if yes you have the stragety close 👌🏽
Which Zagg are you using still the Gold package ones as they are becoming harder to find or are you using new version? Let me know I use them too 👍🏻
BmxBaby1 Depends what I find when I need a new one... main thing is DON’T buy the glass ones... there’s an HD one out I’ve used just fine, as long as it doesn’t say HD Glass 😂 Let me see if I can find a current link
Bobby Allen luckily so far I have been able to still get the good ones but there are getting scarce we may need a new solution soon 😂🤔 I also am not a fan of the “natural wear”
BmxBaby1 ZAGG InvisibleShield Original Screen Protector (Wet Apply) for Apple iPad Air/ iPad Air 2 www.amazon.com/dp/B00F361JY2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_SSr4Eb1W0J214
BmxBaby1 looks like one still available (select wet apply) and YES! I love that these preserve the original look! My predicted plan if these ever wear out is to A) try and peel carefully and replace or B) if the paint comes off with the protector, get them refinished and start over 😂. So far I’ve gotten plenty of wears out of them so seems worth it. I’d also consider the shiny rubber soles but for now I want that red paint look :)
Bobby Allen I did just order a couple of those off EBay recently but will check that next. Thanks we need a new method soon
Oh wow so I can use an iPhone screen protector on my Louboutin 😂 5 below here we come
I would actually recommend iPad sized 😂 And as long as they have some kind of “wet apply” protector, it might work. I’ve stuck with the Zagg brand because they’ve been amazingly successful and I’ve seen mixed results with other similar options … so on my $700+ dress shoes, I don’t mind the extra $15-30 for the protectors… But if you find an accessible, affordable option, keep me posted!! Also, I’ve only ever done this on brand new shoes, not sure how well it adheres to partially worn pairs
You need to apply ACRYLIC FINISH after you paint them red. It's what makes them glossy.
Oh for sure! It was just a test run to see how it looked … my issue was more the brush strokes on the paint (better if you could tape off the shoe and apply with an airbrush) …. I’ve used the paint for minor touch ups and it’s been great, but I’ve protected the soles with the Zagg screen protectors so never had to cover a large area with the paint
Double it
And give it to the next person? 😂
Or do you mean that you do 2 layers?
I didn’t work on my shoes
Can you give more details on your experience? Did you use Zagg protectors or another type? Did you use them on a new pair of shoes or ones that had been worn already? If they were new shoes and the Zagg brand, how many times did you wear them before they messed up? Just want to know what part of the “didn’t work” you’re referring to
@@LouboutinReviews it was a brand new pair of shoes. I don’t think i use the zagg brand screen protector, the screen protector i used wasn’t sticky enough to stay in my shoes. But going to try zagg.
I hope you purchase your shoes on sale. I purchased my loub 60-80% off all authentic from Neimans
@@luxe.saleshopper yeah... and I definitely shop online (legit retailers) ... I probably won’t buy another for a little while still, but always on sale :). The Zagg screen protectors I use are literally the ones you buy for an iPad but it HAS TO BE the wet apply kind, NOT the glass kind. So you end up applying and cutting to fit. I have no intention of taking them off unless they get disgusting, but I’m at least 10-20 wears into all of my dress shoes and they still generally look fine. Definitely a risk of removing paint when you take them off, but my whole goal was to keep them as “like new” as possible every time I wore them. So even if after 30 wears I have to take the Zaggs off and the bottoms are ruined...I’ll just resole them at that point. But I’ll be happy I got so many wears with a “shiny perfect red sole” instead of just one wear out of the house then ugh 😂
@@LouboutinReviews i will definitely try zagg screen protector. I purchased the cheap one before lol that’s probably why didn’t stay. lol i wish you cound send me a link for the zagg you using
@@luxe.saleshopper I honestly just go on Amazon or eBay and see what pops up... you can use the ones that say “HD” as long as they DONT say “HD Glass.” As long as the package contents say something about a squeegee you’re usually fine!
And here’s a link to the video I did putting them on... kinda a long video, but might be helpful if this is your first time trying it out!
th-cam.com/video/UkMXPOijOHg/w-d-xo.html
Screen protector...you mean sole protector 😅
krazzysu Nahhhh... it’s an iPad screen protector used as a sole protector ;)
Dumbest trend ever
The shoes or protecting them? Just curious 😂
