Shoesession

Hi everyone,

What a nice opportunity to practice my english a little. I have begun advanced english courses in order to improve my skills. And, one way for me to pratice is to share my passion about high heels shoes in this forum, which I was registered since 2003. (9 years! WOW)

My wife and I will celebrate our 13th anniversary and I always wanted to give to her something special. Three years ago, I purchased a pair of Gucci (created by Tom Ford. Pewter, 4 inches of heels. Metal stiletto... The same pair shown in the WAMShoe video #1 (http://www.wethighheels.com/t1.html). Since I saw this pair totally ruined on this website, I said : "I must find the same pair for my wife". Took about 6 years to find on ebay this famous pair of Gucci (I have the same model in black too, but the pewter one is much nicer than the black, in my point of view).

So, like I told you, I wanted to give to my wife something really special... So, what about a pair of Christian Louboutin? I always love the Pigalle style. About the heel height, they are available in 4 sizes differents (75MM, 85MM, 100MM and 120MM). The most popular (and the most difficult to walk in) is the 120MM, but I much prefer the 100MM (the same heel height than the Alexis's Pigalle you saw on this forum or videos).

She received them about a week ago. I purchased them at Barneys New York online. With the duty and shipping, those shoes cost more than 800$ Canadian. I had the chance today to take some pictures of them. Hope you'll like it!

Oo! Look at the pretty Loubee lou's!

I'm still waiting for my first pair!

Hubby did buy a pair awhile back off eBay brand new and 41 alas too small!

Good things come to those that wait.

Do you remember the model of Christian Louboutin your hubby offered to you? Because purchasing Christian Louboutin shoes is really, but really difficult, because depend on the style you want, you must deal with the guiding fit. For my wife, if I followed the sizing fit guide suggested by Christian Louboutin Website, the shoes will be too small. I followed the sizing fit guide from Saks Fifth Avenue and PurseForum and they fit perfectly.

My wife wears 6.5US (based on her favorite pair of high heels from Guess by Marciano "Carrie"). Most of Aldo high heels shoes doesn't have shoes in half size, so depend on the style, I'm used to purchase for her shoes in size 7 or 37. For the "Capecoral" model (5 inches heels with plateform), I took a size 38, because they really runs smaller than usual.

For those Christian Louboutin (Pigalle 100MM), on the Christian Louboutin website, they said that they run "True size", but I took half a size up and they fit perfectly! If I choosed the true size, my wife will be not able to walk in them at all. For the Elisa 100MM (I received them TODAY ) HOURRAY!), they run true size too based on the Christian Louboutin website, but I took half a size up too. I will give that pair in december for Christmas.

By the way, if you like this model very much and you want to pursade your hubby, they are available in size 42 and the International shipping is available

This is the online boutique where I purchased those Christian Louboutin Pigalle 100MM.

For the Elisa 100MM, I purchased them directly at the Christian Louboutin Online Store.

If you want to see the Elisa 100MM, I attached a picture of this pair (pictures token from the Christian Louboutin website)

WOW !!!

I can almost feel and smell the soft leather. A dream would come true to have a pair of Louboutins in my own collection, but currently they are far beyond my budget.

By the way many thanks to Wetshoe for this new section. I am starting to love it more and more.

Greetings

Oh yes, Christian Louboutin shoes are really expensive but they worth the price! The leather is amazingly soft and the red sole is SO shiny. For me, Christian Louboutin Pigalle 100MM is the most beautiful high heels shoes created (ex aequo with Gucci Scarpa Elegante Anthracite). Here some pictures of her Gucci high heels shoes I took discreetly (while I was doing a photoshoot with her).
Sorry about the blur part. This was added intentionally by me

So... This month costed me an arm and a leg. Imagine purchasing not one, but TWO pairs (an average of 800$ each pair). And this month, for my wife, because she gave birth of my second son (the third will be a girl, I hope *LOL*), I really wanted also to express my feeling about how I love her. So, I purchased two pairs of Christian Louboutin (the second one (Elisa 100MM), I will give them only for Christmas, because if I give this pair now, I will be dead for sure *LOL) with... "FIVE" pairs of Aldo and "ONE" pair of Sketchers... . I renewed her shoes closet and I don't plan to purchase shoes for a LONG time (except for my own shoes collection).

Christian Louboutin high heels shoes are an investment (if you don't abuse them of course), because the quality of crafting is exceptional. Also, classics styles (like Pigalle or Elisa) will not be out of fashion. My wife can wear those Christian Louboutin heels with Jean, a nice dress, leggings, etc. They match all her outfits.

A collegue of mine, a nice girl, asked me how I purchased two pairs of Christian Louboutin. I replied to her that I created a saving account for shoes. When I receive a bonus, I transfered my money into this account. And when I'll be ready to purchase them, I will proceed. This collegue purchase about 10 or 20 pairs per month! (She's really a shoe addict). I told her : "instead of purchasing 20 pairs this month at "Call it spring" (an Aldo sub company), collect your money to purchase ONLY one pair of Christian Louboutin. She promised to purchase her first pair this month! Stay tuned

In Germany, the price of those Pigalle 100MM is 425 Euro (about 548$ Canadian). It's still expensive, for sure, but at this price range, they are more "accessible" (don't sure about the word here). For me, if I would purchase a pair, I must pay the duty fee and the shipping each time I purchase a pair. By chance, duty fee at Christian Louboutin online store are less expensive than purchasing the same pair on Saks or Barneys of New York. Both stores uses a duty broker and charges are expensive.

I visited the Holt Renfew store in Montreal (they sell only designers shoes, accessories and clothes) and they doesn't have the Pigalle or Elisa in their inventory. They can't order those models too... So, If I want the Pigalle and Elisa, the only way for me is to purchase them online. The sales representative at Holt Renfew showed me the Christian Louboutin Corneille, which is similar to the Pigalle (tagged at 675$ canadian), but I didn't like the toes box cut.

I hope soon to be able to do a photoshoot with my wife wearning those Christian Louboutin Pigalle. It's sure I will post pictures of that session. But, I can't tell when I will do such a photoshoot. Baby 2.0 takes lot of our time *LOL*

It's time for me to prepare the breakfast for my wife and my son!
Have a nice day!

Oh! I mentioned that I purchased 5 pairs of Aldo, but I forgot to add pictures of them.
(Pictures are taken from the Aldo website). I will be able to take some pictures of them soon (but not modeled by my wife)

Yes, those Gucci are old (those were available in 1998) and pretty fragile too, but they are so "sexy". The pair of my wife, the sole inside the shoes started to peel off. My wife went to the shoe repairer to repair them. If you look at the leather, they look a little worn out. The previous owner worn them only ten times!

Based on my wife comments, the Gucci aren't confortable for a long period of time. After 30 minutes, those Gucci started to hurt her feet pretty bad. They are perfect if she stays sit. This is not the case with the Christian Louboutin. It's like walking on a cloud.

For sure, those Gucci, with the metal heels is a legend and they are shown in some shoes museum. Also, those Gucci, not the exact model, but with the same metal heels are featured in the movie / documentary "god save my shoes" and Mariah Carey Honey" videoclip.


(Look at 01:55)

Tom Ford created this shoes to help Gucci brand. In 1990s, Gucci were in a bad financial situation at this time... When he left Gucci to create his own brand, Gucci shoes are more classic now.

About Christian Louboutin, yes, they are very expensive! I purchased two pairs and hurts my wallet! But, I don't plan to purchase more Christian Louboutin soon (even for my own private collection). I really want something special for my wife this year and I did that purchase. But, she don't expect to receive an another next year My next "big" purchase will be a home (in 3 years of so) and a brand new car (in 5 years).

Thanks for the Youtube link but i can't see them because here in germany the GEMA has Closed it.
