Christian Louboutin Cobbler Resource

Any idea where can I get plain red soles, not ones with CL prints.. Like the ones UpCloseAndStylish have on her loubs??

& how long does it usually take to fix a red sole?

I'm visiting Madrid, Barcelona & Paris next month (3 days each). I want to have 1 to repair & 1 new to be protected so it will remain red even after wearing it.

Hey there....these red vibram soles are plain and the transparent sole protectors work a treat! They've just made heel sleeves too

Hi all! I hope I'm posting in the correct forum because I really need some help/advice. I noticed last night that a spike has somehow been ripped from my Spike Me shoe which has also, unfortunately, ripped the PVC.

Does anyone know of a cobbler or professional service who can help fix this? I live in the DC area, but I have no problem shipping the shoe to get it fixed. What's even worse is I have no idea what happened to the missing spike - I've torn my house and office inside out and have found nothing.

If the spike can't be found and/or replaced, I'd still be happy if anyone could recommend someone that can fix the PVC so the tear doesn't get any worse.

Thank you for your time and suggestions! I really, REALLY love these shoes and I'm in tears over this.

Send an email with photos to the Santana Creative. They're the only ones I can think of in the US who might be able to fix it. If they can't, then I'd email MM7 and see what they suggest.

Thank you so much for your suggestions! I really appreciate it! And I will definitely give those two a try.

Hi all,

Does anyone know if its possible to lower the heel height on a pair of CL's? I was gifted a pair of 6 inch heels and unfortunately its a little too high for me and would like it to be brought down to a 3 or 4 inch heel height.


Would a reputable cobbler be able to lower the heel? I'm in NYC btw.


Thanks for any help you can offer.

Yes, it's possible but not by as much as you are wanting. I think the max is 1/4 inch, or the last of the shoe is compromised.

I've had CLs cut down by the Santana Creative. I highly recommend them.

What a cute shoe ! You should post a pic of the whole shoe just so we can admire it lol. Idk if you have found someone to repair it but You can check here in NYC. The best place in NYC is called the leather spa. All the major Dept stores and Louboutin boutiques here recommend this place.

LOL! Thank you! I've posted a full picture of my poor, ripped babies.


And thank you so much for your suggestion. I'm actually selling these (eBay), but it's great to have more options and resources for cobblers if buyers are interested.

You could ask him but I am thinking that he will probably just offer to fix them again. I would not let him touch them again but if he could compensate for your trouble that will definitely help with the cost for the MM7 repair. You'll never know if you don't try! I would ask him...he should not have agreed to do the work if he was not capable. He obviously agrees that he messed up when he said that he couldn't sleep because of it. I feel bad but not enough to let him off the hook. It's just not right! You spent all that money on your shoes and now they are less than perfect. KWIM?

Just ask him credit in the store to start with on other shoes, for heels soles etc...

Any recommendations for a trusted cobbler in Australia?
Particularly one that can dye leather and also do red vibram soles.
(I am looking at having a pair of Princess dyed silver)
Thank you

I took my VPs to Jack's Shoe Repair on Sutter. I dropped them off for an hour and a half and the total was $37.70. Here are the before and after shots. I'm very pleased.

Not bad, the edge is nicely done, I would have done the line a bit more straight or tilted more on the outside. Price is ok.

Hi ladies, recently I took my black patent SKs to a local cobbler that supposedly specializes in delicate shoes, to replace my soles with Vibrams. Well they came back, and now after a week or so I finally noticed scuff marks and indentations in the arch area which were definitely not there before.

They're definitely not in as bad a shape as some of the horror stories I've seen here, but I am still disappointed. Is this somewhat common? And should I just deal with it? I don't want to over-react but I loved my shoes when they were perfect...

Can anyone reccommend a good cobbler for CL's in the PA area, specifically around Philadelphia/Allentown or not more than an hour and a half away from there? I want to have the red sole put on the bottoms of one of my CL's as well as a new pair of heel taps (I am assuming that cobblers must have the right type of heel taps for CL's because I never received any when I bought the shoes from Neiman Marcus.). I would prefer a place that does good shoe work too incase anything ever happens like an injury to my CL. Also wondering how much the cost is.
I called Neiman Marcus in King of Prussia for a recommendation as that is where I buy most of my CL's and they recommended Rossi's Shoe Service in Ardmore, PA. It looks good, so far. Does anyone have any experience with them?
