Heard Arty's mentioned on the board previously and saw this article in Allure's December '07 issue about their service- thought it would be of interest to fellow CL lovers who need to repair their soles!

"Forget diamonds on the soles of your shoes; insiders know that the real status symbol is the red on the bottom of a pair of Christian Louboutins. Trouble is, even the walk to your town car can scuff them, and the scarlet fades to gray. Arty's Shoe Service in New York City now offers a replacement sole of pure red rubber. For $40, they'll custom-fit a pair with brand-new soles that look so authentic, the nearby Louboutin boutique refers customers. On a typical day, 15 pairs will come through the door and the mail. (Call 212-255-1451 for details)"
