Christian Louboutin shoe sizing?

[allstylish]

I have never known a brand of shoe with such erratic sizing and I know it confuses us girls who can't live without those beautiful red soles. First, you will find a list of styles that I have researched, but do not necessarily own. Second, you will find a list of styles I do own with descriptions about the fit of the shoe. I will try to add to this Guide as I do more research. In addition, I have provided some information on other shoe designers that I own, such as Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo and Valentino.
Note: Sizing can also be a preference. Some women may like their shoes to feel tight and secure, whereas others may like the benefit of having wiggle room. In addition, please take into consideration the material of the shoe and the width of your foot. Suede styles tend to run big, Leather tend to run true to size and Patent Leather tend to run small. For instance, the Very Prive style should run true to size, but in suede it tends to run 1/2 size big. I have found that all my CLs tend to stretch with wear! Some styles run very narrow, which is why those with wide feet will need to size up more often.
The sizes recommended for the following styles are a result of tedious and lengthy research taken from websites, fashion forums and asking sales assistants (FOR MORE ON PIGALLE SIZING- See Bottom of Guide):
