I got an amazing bargain on these babes and made good friends with the seller too, she was a really nice lady. these gorgeous babes cost me only 58 bucks :biggrin::shocked:
i also replaced the missing stud of my louis spikes while i was traveling, i went to the store and the SA was super nice and helpful.:angel:

i received these few days after i came back home.
the sole had a few tiny scuffs (they have been worn twice or maybe three times) and the shoe was in a pretty good condition, however while i was cleaning the patent with cotton buds and nail polish remover, i made a terrible mistake and faded the golden margin on several spots, (i was so pissed afterwards for hours, but the damage was already done :sad: )

later i came up with doing some diy (i bought the closest matching nail polish) to cover up the mess i made and make them look like brand new, but because of the color was not a exact match i had to repaint through the entire margin. i think they look pretty good now.:amuse:

wore them on a small family gathering and got so many compliments.:cool:

though im the only one who can tell they've been painted over, still when i look closely at them i can tell the painted parts apart from the actual leather. maybe i'm being too sensitive. and i know that might sound a bit crazy, but i've been considering taking them to the spa and ask the lady who usually does my nails to do over the golden margins with her special equipment and metallic polish covers. OCD much? :biggrin:

what do you ladies think? do they look legit? or should i go for the plan B and take them to the spa? :biggrin:
they look perfect, maybe a bit too big, 1 size smaller would look a little bit better. but nevertheless I could not realize that you have overpainted them :heart:

Purchased my FIRST while vacationing in Dubai!! Picked these up at the Mall of Emirates. My SA was lovely to work with. He was so patient & knowledgeable.
So glad I chose this pair as it suits my lifestyle better. This height (3.35") will allow me to wear it more often & for longer durations. Patent also fares better than suede for where I live as it rains often. It's already so comfortable so I doubt I'll have get accustomed.

Wow gorgeous! Congrats on your first pair of CLs!
 
Thanks! I may be addicted now but will try the pre-own route, for now.
Any advice on buying pre-own when the shoes have been worn a few times and therefore stretched out?
Definitely look for a gently used pair. The good thing about buying a pre-owned gently used pair, is they will be broken in a bit, so they can feel a bit less stiff. Buy your correct size. Don't size up.

hello ladies,

remember me? i was trying to find out which style was the louboutin i was trying to purchase, and the photos was not really helping...

finally received them on my vacation, and there they are...

i literally burst into tears when i held these in my hands for the very first time...
it was like holding ur newborn child (what i would know about that, i'm not a mom yet, but i would assume it would feel the same for me :P) :biggrin:

ladies!

let me introduce you to my newest babies and the first christian louboutin pair of pumps,

drum rolls ....:cool:

loubitag so kates :nuts:

from the moment i led my eyes on these after looking over hundreds of preloved items, i knew it was a match made in heaven. and i was sure they are meant to be mine. :flowers::angel::heart:

they are way too adorable that i just can't enough of them, getting them out of box like every minute and caress them gently with passion and love.:heart::amuse:

and last but not least,

i have heard too many horror stories on youtube about how uncomfortable especially so kates and generally 120mm cls are. so i was prepared for the worst. but they are actually not bad at all. first i was concerned about the sizing, and it was a perfect fit. the toe box was a bit tight at first, but after wearing them a couple of times, they kinda stretched. i can manage to walk in them around the house, without twisting my ankle, but i still need more practice to rock them or wear them outside due to the really narrow heel.

and i got them for only 257 usd, preloved, but in a brand new condition. the red sole is perfectly intact, and i had to remove the bottom stickers myself.

can't be happier. :angel:

Congrats on snagging these for a great price!
Do you mind if I ask where you found them secondhand? They are in amazing condition!

Who knew I'd purchase my second pair within 2 weeks of buying my first? Addicted, truly.

Backstory: Been eyeing this for months & figured Dubai would be the place to buy em. Dubai was completely sold out (checked the Dubai Mall, Mall of Em & Level Shoes in Dubai Mall). I moved on and purchased the Anjalina 85 in pink patent instead. Walked through Holt Renfrew during lunch not even an hour ago, (food court lunch, yum!) and saw how busy the CL store was. Decided to check it out because your girl is nosy. Saw the nude & black Jonatina sitting at the far end of the store receiving no love. Asked for a 7 to try on and lo and behold….they fit perfectly! I was told this was the last 37 instore so I’m glad I picked these up but who knows, maybe it was just to secure the sale. Either way, I’m glad I finally got my hands on them!

I have the same pair! Twins!
But when I tried to walk at home I noticed that that plastic/plexi part is little sharp.
Hope it wont bother me.
I love how they look and the color is amazing.
Congrats!

How are you finding the heel? i notice that it's slightly angled in towards the shoe as oppose to a 90 degree angle straight down. Hopefully the arch works for me after hours of wear! Yet to wear them out bc it's been non stop raining and I really dont wanna ruin the shoe!

I haven’t worn them yet.
However, I already know that Gianvito Rossi Portofino is more comfy! Have you tried them maybe?
