- If you are thinking of buying Christian Louboutin heels, this is my opinion on whether it's worth it. I've tried many pairs and realized Louboutin heels are not comfortable. In fact, Louboutin has said that they are actually not meant to feel comfortable, they are meant to look beautiful. From my experience, you likely won't wear heels you don't feel comfortable in the long term, and in fact you may get more value for your money if invest in quality italian made heels that you can wear all day.

NEXT VIDEO: The Most Comfortable Designer Heels I've Tried - Part 1 th-cam.com/users/shortsiBtA1MXm7io
During an interview I heard Loubi' saying something along the lines of that he doesn't make the shoes comfortable on purpose because he thinks women don't care about being comfortable, as long as they are pretty.
Turned me off from ever buying those shoes.
I didn't hear that exact one but I did see a quote from vogue where he mentioned his priority was making his shoes beautiful, not necessarily comfortable. While I appreciate his vision, it just doesn't make sense for me and my lifestyle to wear shoes that are beautiful but not comfortable enough for a couple hours.
I guess the jokes are on us, is what he is referring to?
Wow!
@@StylemeWorthit well, those two-toned heels you tried on were drop dead gorgeous indeed. But really, shoes are made for putting on and do your thing; I don’t want any shoes that force me to sit down all evening. No matter how pretty.
I recently saw the Guinness heiress ( forgot her name) walking on those lady GaGa shoes, and it looked so weird, because she couldn’t really stand straight.
Maybe I’m just not fashionable enough; but that’s not what I want.
Well he's right lol
So true. I don't know why fashion artists call themselves designers. They're not made to be worn. Clothes created for 12-14yr old bodies isn't designing. High fashion items are pieces and the word 'designer' is used to justify cost. Designers create pieces for paying adults to feel good and look great whatever the size. Designers need to get honest with themselves and customers need to stop paying their prices.
You don't need to put down dramatic and flamboyant natural bodies to make this point.
Do 12-14 year olds not wear clothes?
Nobody is going to stop buying Designer products lmao. The truth is that it's no different than a trophy or accomplishment where you hang on your wall to feel good about what you've achieved. Because in reality, it is a symbol of your accomplishments, to be able to afford the products you'd have to be financially successful in life. Nobody is going to stop paying that much moneyi if it meant they don't feel good about their life.
12-14 year old bodies? Are you serious? They're ALL adults. No need to body shame.
@@Reeniepie 12-14 year olds can't afford designer prices
I love your voice, no where near able to afford the brands you discuss but I watch your videos anyway because you sound so lovely :)
Aww thank you Elmira! Tha'ts so sweet. I'm definitely working on including more affordable quality options in my content in the future.
I have more respect for Salvatore ferragamo after this. (for anyone who doesn’t know, Salvatore made lots of inventions to make shoes and heels more comfortable, and after his death his company still offers a large variety of fit customizations. He’s worth looking into! A very talented man and family :) )
Thanks for sharing Claire! I have not yet tried their shoes yet but always love new recommendations.
I have one of his bags that I bought last year and it’s the most well made, beautifully understated bag I’ve ever owned. Love it. I need to look into his shoes now:)

They are designed for a specific foot type. That is why most people don’t find them comfortable. But there is a small group that have no problem. Yes they are pretty but not worth it if you can’t wear them. I hate when people try to flex just because they can wear a certain designer/brand. The real flex is custom made.
Custom made shoes are the best way to make sure a shoe fits comfortably. I've always wanted to have one made to fit in Italy, so i'll have to wait for my next planned trip!
I find them more comfortable than some sneakers, I’ve never gotten a blister in my loubs but I have in a pair of pumas
say it again! the real flex will always be bespoke.
it's like the difference between new money + old money//generational wealth.
quality items tailored for you will always be the best choice, the only choice worth dropping serious coin for, especially b|c they'll last your lifetime + probably your grandkids' too.
totally agree w| you!
A specific foot type! I knew it!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤮
A reason is the placement of the heel shaft. In these examples, it is pushed all the way to the back of the show frame. A heel shaft positioned directly under your natural heel acts as an extension of your leg and is therefore a more comfortable shoe.
That's a great way to explain part of what makes a shoe comfortable!
Now I know why they looked a little weird to me.. it the placement of the heel.. 😂😂😂 .
Out of topic, but I can listen to you all day. Your voice is so soothing. 🥰
My Shein glass/transparent heels are head turners… got lots of compliment very comfy and I can wear them from dust til dawn 😊😊😊. Been using them for 2yrs and still slaying ❤❤❤.
Which design?? Is it open toe?
Same here. Tried on a $3000 pair and they hurt like hell. Left their and went to TJ Max found a pair of JRenee $30 and were the most comfortable shoes and got tons of compliments. CL shoes are a status symbol in only.
JRenee is notorious for comfort
please make a spotify podcast , your voice is so rich and perfect , id listen to you all day.😭😩😩💅💅💅💅
I have them.. Both flats and heels. I wore the heels like 2-3 times a long, long time ago but the flats I wore almost every day to get my money's worth even if they do pinch. After that, I never bought any CLs again.
Thanks for sharing your perspective Nisa! I've heard and have friends that own the flats that find them quite comfortable. I think it's just the heels that are not designed to be comfortable (Christian Louboutin himself said he designed the heels to be beautiful and not necessarily comfortable). I've spoken to an ex sales rep and he recommends the same if you want comfortable shoes, avoid the heels and go for any flat options.
Gosh, finally here's someone willing to share their honest sensible opinion. 👍👀👍
Nothing about a shoe that I won’t wear a million times will ever be worth that price tag. And at this point even Steve maddens have become comfortable and they were always the least comfortable shoes ever so there’s no excuse to not put that little bit of work into a good sole especially when you’re paying that much.
Steve Madden is definitely on my list of most uncomfortable shoes I've tried, and it actually taught me the importance of buying quality, well fitted shoes, even if you have to spend a bit more. That way you get true value out of your foot wear.
My Mum used to be a Louboutin wholesaler, the drawer in her filing cabinet for them was labelled 'in the air shoes' 😂
Hilarious 😂! Loving your Mum!
Bet she had excellent balance in those shoes 👠 ❤
I am a below knee amputee so I have not been able to wear any kind of heel for almost 26 years. I have spent hundreds of thousand of dollars buying almost every expensive designer heel for my daughter. I started buying her the shoes that I could not wear but desperately wanted to wear when she was in Middle School. My daughter is now 26 with a closet full of designer heels that she does not wear anymore because she says the heels are very uncomfortable. I told her she needs to take her shoes to a consignment shop or find people who wear her size(7-8) and bless them with the shoes.
I WEAR THE SAME SIZE!!! do you have an email I can get in contact you with?? Perhaps I can buy some and take it off her hands. Would love to see the collection/even just which ones shes no longer wearing
That's my size!!!! 😂
@@nbitsme1629 go away I was here first 😂😜🤣
That's so sweet of you Lee, thank you so much for sharing your story! In addition to the people in the comments, she could also consider selling them online through various online consignment stores (e.g. The Real Real), because they can help her sell them to a wider audience and recoup the cost. What's important is that going forward, she knows what made those heels uncomfortable for her (heel height, structure, heel placement) so if she decides to invest in heels later in life, she won't end up in the same position.
I decided to buy a pair but second hand because I was worried to drop so much money on a shoe I wouldnt wear and I'm so happy I did. I cannot wear them so painful to stand or walk for more than 30 mins.
I now use them if I ever need to take any photos where I can take them off durning breaks 🤣
Thanks for sharing your story Fatih! At least you're still getting some value out of them 😉
My mum would call them “car to bar” shoes because all you do is get out of the car, walk into the restaurant and immediately order a wine 😂
Im just mesmerized on how you speak. The way you look.. so simple yet very beautiful 😍
ARE YOU AN A.I ?
YOUR VOICE DESERVES AN OSCAR
RESPECT AND LOVE FROM 🇯🇲
The way you talk is so soothing man
Your voice sounds ✨expensive ✨ I love it!
Well said... thank you !!!
You’re welcome! 😊 just wanted to share my perspective on making better purchases.
This is true! Invest in quality handcraft shoes that will out live you!!
I mainly see them on night shows where they are sitting on a couch.
this is so random but your voice is extremely relaxing to me
Oh thank you!
I'm just so in love with your voice!!
Thank you so much Nika!! :)
Farragamo and Jimmy Choo. I’m a Flight attendant that keeps my heels on the entire day. I’m short and curvy, so you won’t catch me changing into a flat no matter how long the day is. Coach and Giuseppe both have a stylish comfortable pump and t strap.
Thanks for you so much for sharing your experience Sheila! Coach and Guiseppe haven't worked well for my wider feet, but Jimmy Choo and Ferragamo have some that are quite comfortable.
Wow,
This woman's voice is amazing.
jimmy choos are amazing- try them out!☺️ pretty and for the most part as comfy as heels that pretty will be😂
Oddly enough mine are not uncomfortable. The first time I wore them, yes they hurt a bit. But the second third time I was good to go at day party primarily standing and dancing.
Very impressed you could last all day! It really has to do with foot shape. I do have wider feet, which is probably why they don't fit me as well. Thanks for sharing Coco!
What about Manolo Balaniks (i think that's how you spell it)
Blahnik? Agreed.
Manolo crystal pumps are very comfortable. I actually just did a quick review on them in this video: th-cam.com/users/shortsxUZqtUWj35s
Couldn’t agree more. I do own one pair but they were a gift from my mom. They hurt so bad after about 2 hours of wear. I’ve only worn them twice. I also own a pair of flip flops that are actually comfy but too expensive in my opinion. But they were also a gift from my mom.
Thanks for sharing Tia! ☺️
Irregular choice is a brand that makes niche heels but made properly
So very true and don't know why people will buy these shoes just because there so Gorgeous but can't even walk comfortably in them..
If you want comfortable Louboutins you have to try and get the BIANCA which is an old style so you’ll have to hunt them down at pre-loved stores hopefully brand new ❤️❤️❤️
True true true. I wish these expensive shoes would be comfortable. I have some booties in the 4" heel and they're tiring and then bought some in a 3" heels. And bigger size. Way way better.
Thats EXACTLY what i always tought, why spend so much money in something so unconfurtable and unhealthy, why i can buy so many other stuff that i really need or like with that money, Amen to you sister🥰🥰🥰
100! Got my louboutins in So Kate, Pigalle, and since my feet are more on the wider and bigger side, they’re not the best for louboutins. I’m a YSL Tribute type of gal 😂 my little sister who’s more slender and has slimmer feet with higher arch, however, wears them louboutins just fine. So, my advice is just go to the boutique and try a pair or two and see how it fits your feet! Definitely don’t recommend buying loubs online!
I love ur voice !
Thank you! 😊
Her voice is giving ✨luxury✨
She’s absolutely correct! I spent nearly $1k and babyyyy they are beautiful shoes but like she said, they do hurt like hell to wear. The only ones that are bearable are the sling back heel. I really wish they had them in my size, or I would own a pair of those right now!
In my personal experience with designer men’s shoes, its basically the same deal. Versace slides- uncomfortable. Gucci sneakers- hard. Giuseppe Zanotti sneakers- uncomfortable. Besides Zanotti, all these brands couldn’t care less about quality or comfortability, their main focus is keeping the brand “exclusive” and creating items that are as flashy as possible for you to gravitate towards in store.
Thank you for sharing your experience on the men’s side! Brands can sometimes underestimate the value of maximize function with fashion, and I think as consumers we wouldn’t mind spending more on quality made, comfortable, stylish designs because of the value they bring to our lifestyle. Fortunately, there are some brands that operate that way, but they are harder to find, and I’m on a mission to discover and share them with everyone.
@@StylemeWorthit as someone who has been extremely critical and honest with my luxury brand purchases, I cannot recommend this enough: if you can, find a local shoemaker or cobbler to make you a pair of bespoke shoes. They will be made especially for you, by hand and usually with generational experience. They will still cost you around the same amount as a loub but i can promise you that the materials will be better, the craftsmanship will be an upgrade and they will last a lifetime. I think people gravitate towards easily recognizable designer clothes to “look rich” and draw attention to how much they spent on a particular garment or item- when in actuality most wealthy people prefer comfort over loud fashion. If you simply enjoy the aesthetic value of a brand like I do, get in touch with someone that can hook u up with a louboutin sample sale. I heard they’re commonplace in LA, NYC, Miami etc
It's absolutely unrelated to the video. But your is so pretty, and healthy!
💯 agree. Their definitely aestheticians, not shoemakers
Thanks for the review❤
you're so welcome!
This is really interesting even though it's not something I ever need to consider (I am both disabled in a way that makes walking more than a few steps excruciating and too poor to be buying shoes I don't need lol). Personally I've always thought the things worth paying for in shoes and clothes are comfort and durability, I'll always save up and pay a little extra for something that will last me longer or be more comfortable but if something that expensive is neither of those things it actively makes it worthless in my eyes.
I’m so sorry to hear about the walking pain, but thank you so much for your input on this conversation! I agree, I place more value on items that are more versatile, function and durable, not just aesthetically beautiful.
Ladies, let me shed some much needed light on ANY HIGH HEELS 👠 My Mother use to ware all kind of high heels starting off young until she could not ware them no more. She use to RUN in her heels she would tell me & they were normally anywhere between 4-6 inches high. She use to Model High heels 👠 back in her days & she just passed away at the age of 86 back in 2020. Let’s fast forward to her 40’s. She started having feet problems. Even to the point of having 4 Feet Surgeries on EACH FOOT. My Mother could barely walk & her podiatrist said it was all because of her wearing very High & Narrow High Heels 👠
PS. Having a “MAN” Making a Woman’s shoe is RIDICULOUS. He has NO CLUE what it’s like to ware them. They only make them so they can Admire there work & to see a Woman’s legs look pretty in them. That’s also like a MAN MAKING A BRA for women and saying it’s comfortable. Like he ware’s it Everyday. Maybe Nowadays, but not back several Decades ago.
Ladies Always remember what James Brown always sang about,
“THIS IS A MAN’S WORLD.”
From a men’s shoe perspective, I will say they’re really comfortable, especially the sneakers. I never thought I’d buy luxury sneakers but I found a pair I loved this summer and they have become my go to for not too fancy celebrations. I’ve also walked around wearing the loafers and flats for several hours on formal occasions without problem. It’s a shame that the women’s ones look so beautiful but are so impractical.
Thanks for sharing Sulman! I’m so glad you shared a men’s perspective on their line as well.
Girl you have a very pretty smile.. have a good day ❤
Thank you love! ☺
So true! Tried sooooo many styles, each more painful than the last.
I agree. Louboutin heels are sitting footwear, not walking footwear.
That's a great way of putting it Kristi!
I totally agree- I tried out a few pumps and was like -how are people walking around like it's nothing?
I still want a pair, I have done for years, but I'm happy sitting on the couch admiring my own feet in them, and never wear them ☺️
Haha as long as you're happy Lolly! Everyone has their own way of enjoying what they own, even if it's more as an art piece. I just personally like to balance practicality and style. Thanks for sharing :)
The biancas were pretty comfortable from what I remember but that was the only one
The Hot Chick 70 are very comfortable
Suggest those heels which u say in. D last part
My Cole Hann Nike Air Pumps are THE best high heel I've ever bought
Thanks for sharing Sandy! ☺️
i wore my sisters louboutins once and I could not even wear it for 5 minutes. the heel part extends so high in comparison to the toe area. makes it so uncomfortable
ESP if you don’t have narrow small feet
Thank you! Loved your content
Thank you Camila! ☺️
There are comfortable indistinguishable dupes people should pursue instead.
Thank you for this. I saw another lad6 said the same. Those were my next heels, but not anymore.
Yep I watched his documentary He said he create them as art pieces not for comfort
I didn't realize he had a documentary! I read it from a vogue interview. It sounds like he's very consistent with his line of thinking and branding!
I've said this for years. I gave all mine away.
Louboutin's are what my mom called "riding shoes." And you don't wear riding shoes to walk.
My Asian Wife (Maya-Minnie-Chu) Has Yellow Christian Louboutin High Heel Pumps In Her Shoe Collection.
No they hurt so bad. Love Stewart Weisman, Prada and Jimmy choo comfortable and they last a long ass time
I'm partial to Stuart Weitzman thigh high boots, the specific one I have is amazing and lasted more than 7 years and still look wonderful. However, I've not had the best experience with the Jimmy Choos I've purchased because it hurts after a couple hours. I purchased that one over 10 years ago though, so things may have changed since then. Thanks for sharing your insights with everybody!!
Immediately subscribed to you and will be watching the rest of your videos! What maker do you recommend for those quality handcrafted italian shoes?
You didn’t mention or put info about quality Italian heels that look beautiful and are comfortable. Would you please share?
Agreed
her voice alone can pay bills damnnnnnnn that's a rich rich voice
I always wondered this!
Thank you! God bless you
True! FINALLY, Truth!
That's why I love my sneakers👟
Thank you!
The secret is to size up a half or full size. But if you have wide feet you will still struggle.
It’s crazy how usually the cheap hills are the ones that are uncomfortable the fact that you’re paying thousands of dollars to be uncomfortable is crazy to me I thought the more expensive the shoe the more comfortable they are
So what brands did she recommend? I kind of got lost at the end lol
Christin from selling sunset rocks them like they're comfortable
Just because your feet don’t fit the shoes, doesn’t mean the shoes are bad.
I love those earrings! Details please ☺️
Rockport travel heels are amazing
I size up as they run small
Thanks for sharing Kimberly! That was the same with my experience in store, they definitely do run small.
Where are your earrings from? They are stunning!☺️❤️
I wish I could wear high heels longer. My heels hurts so bad after 5 minutes and I get bad blisters on my toes. Idk how women do it for a long period of time🥺
Hi Hanami! My Earrings are from AYAI. There are actually comfortable heels that don't cause blisters and I'm actually slowly going through the ones i've tested and creating some new shorts to share them with you all.
think carefully what rich person walks around
Girl I don’t know which ones you tried on but I wear them all the time like practically live in these heels
Hi Zahraa! I think it depends on your foot shape, mine is on the wider side, which might be why the brand doesn't fit. Glad to hear they work for you, always love to hear another person's perspective.
@@StylemeWorthitThey must be made for those women who have what I describe as a "delicate bone structure," kind of the little birds of human beings. Unfortunately, I have a bigger frame thanks to my paternal genes and cannot wear LB's.
Amazing advice.
Glad you think so!
They're just for pictures or the bedroom
Your voice is very captivating
What KILLS me is the HEEL HEIGHT of Louboutins- they would be just as gorgeous in a FRICKIN LOWER HEEL! Same design, just make it 3" or less.
They do make them astronomically high! I know what you mean, because my sweet spot is between 3 to 3.5 inches. But I think Louboutins also have them in lower heights, like the 70mm versions (which is equivalent to 2.75 inches).
I bought a pair of Marilyn's and I don't know how anyone would walk in those! The only time I wore them outside the house I ended up looping a ribbon through the slingback and around my ankle or they just wouldn't stay on!!!
That's very frustrating, especially since you spent so much on them. I'm expecially careful when buying sling backs because often they cause more pain and slippage on a heel when not done properly
I got a pair of Michael Kors heels for a costume party, they're really high but they're my most comfortable pair and I wear them over my expensive heels SO MUCH it's embarrassing 😭
Sold mine…dreaded wearing them! 🤷♀️
new sub here! ur gorg!
Thank you so much for the love Kitten!
They are strictly limousine shoes. If you can’t travel door to door with an entourage to take care of making you as comfortable as humanly possible, Louis b is not for you. Not mention the foot surgery you’ll eventually require from wearing them.
Agree 100%
100% agree
So agree
