Default Christian Louboutin Sizing Guide
Ladies,
we desperately need such a thread. I thought I would start one based on some of my experiences ( I am a us size 7) as well as those recommendations made by many of you and SAs I have spoken to.

Please add on if I have missed anything. Additional commentary on sizing would be great as well. One thing to note is that some fabrics make a difference in how much you need to size up for example patent leather tends to require sizing up vs regular leather, however many styles do stretch with wear. Also Louboutin tends to run narrow for wider feet more sizing up may be required.


1/2 to 1 1/2 full size down:
Helmut , Decoltissimo, Palace Zeppa, Helmoon, BZelmut

1/2 Size down:
Pigalle 120 mm, Gwenissima

True to Size:

Maria, Mouche, Mouchalina, Wallis, Hi Tina Sandals, Activa, Merry-go-round, Sabotage, Horasling, Lady Strass, Matador, Gabine, Yoze Kubrik, Miminette Wedges, Marpoil Zeppa,

Question Re: Christian Louboutin Sizing Guide
I've heard and read that CLs in suede tend to stretch a bit so you should get true to size, and with patent leather at least 1 size up since they hardly stretch at all. :s

I would like to get an idea how everyone else finds the fitting of their CLs. The more people can post with the types of material the more accurate it will be.

For me:
Decollette 868 (Black Jazz): 1 size up
Miminette Wedges (Patent): 1 size up
Decollette Zeppa (Leather): TTS or 1/2 size up
Decollette Zeppa (Patent): TTS or 1/2 size up
Pigalle 100mm (Leather): TTS
Miss Boxe (Leather): 1/2 size up
Bruges (Leather): 1/2 size up
Prive Slingback (Cork): 1/2 size up
Mademoiselle Marchand Yoyo slings (fishnet): 1/2 size up
Iowa Mary Jane (Leather): 1/2 size up
