Louboutins are a colloquial but firmly entrenched name for shoes with a red sole, created by the French fashion designer Christian Louboutin.

Still very young Christian Louboutin at the age of 12 went to one of the Parisian museums, the entrance to which was allowed only without shoes. The fact that shoes must be removed at the entrance was evidenced by a sign with a crossed out elegant shoe.
Not a single exhibit from that exhibition sunk into his soul as much as this notorious information sign. The boy was excited about the idea of creating elegant shoes so much that he ceased to have time for his studies and at the age of 16 was expelled.
Christian was even pleased with such a confluence of events - now it was possible to fully devote himself to creativity. At first, he worked as an assistant in a cabaret, and then became an apprentice to Charles Jourdan - at that time already an established shoe king. Each new task assigned to Louboutin helped him gain experience and soon among his customers for shoes were the world fashion houses - Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent.
He opened his first store in 1991 – he was 28 years old. Soon after the opening, popular shoes with a lacquered red sole appeared.
The main version of why the sole of Louboutins is red is a lucky accident. Once, when the master was spinning another pair of Pensee boats in his hands, his assistant painted her nails with red varnish. Christian thought , why not paint the sole with this varnish? This is how the now legendary shoes appeared.
Since the appearance of the first pair, shoes from Christian Louboutin are in demand among stars and ordinary women, and famous brands and fashion houses - Chloe, Lanvin, Givenchy, use his shoes at their fashion shows.
The term "louboutins" is applied to all models of women's shoes of the Christian Louboutin brand. What unites them all is the main distinguishing feature - the red sole. Below we have listed all the types of shoes that are presented in the catalog of the fashion designer and indicated how they differ from each other.
Boats are shoes with a deep cutout under the foot and a closed, slightly narrowed cape. The heel is variable - it can be medium and high.

Girls often wonder how Louboutins differ from shoes of other brands. Let's find out.
Immediately it is necessary to note another distinctive feature of the shoes of the French fashion designer and at the same time answer the most exciting question - why are Louboutins uncomfortable. There is an opinion that they were made deliberately uncomfortable, but Christian himself denies this. He does not pursue convenience - his task is to create a work of art that will excite men. And convenience is not his path.
As for the practical side of the issue - the inconvenience of louboutins is due to the thin sole. It is the insufficient thickness of the sole that makes the rise of the foot steep and causes it to bend unnaturally.
No trademark will help protect against counterfeiting and Christian Louboutin is no exception. His shoes are almost the most counterfeit in the world - just paint the sole red.
The first thing to do before buying is to go to the website of the Christian Louboutin brand. On the official website in the Stopfake section there is a service that allows you to check the link to the website of the seller from whom you are going to buy shoes.
The register of reliable sellers is regularly updated, but is not exhaustive, so it will not be superfluous to learn about the visual differences between the original and the fake.
Louboutins are not durable. The sole is the first to wear out - the red varnish begins to crack and wear off. In order for the shoes to last longer, the manufacturer recommends:
