Inexpensive Louboutins

    Hey ladies and gents,

    I have found a couple of websites from China which claim to be selling genuine Louboutins at seriously unreal prices (practically for nothing). Now, I've studied the photos intently for hours and every detail, right down to the signature stamped into the insole, are perfect. There's no difference between these and those photos found on Net-A-Porter and the like. This seems too good to be true. Has anyone ever ordered from this kind of site? Or does anyone have any opinion as to whether it really is too good to be true? These sites state that what you see in the pictures is what you get and I know that this would constitute a legal disclaimer in Europe but I don't know if this is the case in the countries these sites originate from. Its a possibility that the photos are of genuine Louboutins but what they're actually selling are knock-offs.

    Has anyone had a positive experience with these sites? I'd love any input on this topic!!
    :D xxxx

    I would say to good to be true but you could post some links up for people to have a look.

    Without even looking at the photos I know it's fake.
    Louboutain shoes cost minimum 4-500 euro. They're hand made, that's why they're so expensive.

    The Chinese are *expert* at counterfeiting. That's why you are being fooled.

    If you have to ask, you can't afford it. A horribly dirty looking 40 year old woman was on the bus across from me yesterday with a "Louis Vuitton" bag. Louboutins are outrageously expensive and knock-offs are getting better by the day but if they're that cheap there's no chance they're authentic. Personally I'd never buy anything I knew was fake but your call obv

    Not quite louboutin but they look similar, are very soft leather and cost a fraction of the price. I got a pair for the missus and she was complimented (by other women) when she wore them out:

    The pictures are probably of real Louboutins, but ofc that's no guarentee that's what you'll get in the post, and would probably bet against it.

    What guarantee do you have the Chinese company isn't a scam to rob your credit card details? Happens for electronic products. As for cost of shoes, even if they're handmade they cost the manufacturer less than E30 (and often way less than that) from what retailers told me. The retailer then adds its huge margin and the vendor adds theirs (again considerable).

    My GF who isn't a fan of high heels found them fairly easy to walk in.

    You won't regret it, they are really soft and look fantastic. As I said on the one occasion that she's worn them out she was being complimented by other ladies.

    I just can't agree with you there. Overknee and thigh high boots have become much more accpetable as fashion wear in recent years with many high profile fashion houses including them in their collections.

    Perhaps you're a little reserved and just wouldn't dream of wearing something like them out and about?
    they are so hot and badass sexy time boots;)

    Calm down. :)

    I'm not reserved but those boots are trashy IMO. They're stripper/prostitute boots!

    And I doubt that heel will last very long!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,086 ✭✭✭irishvamp90


    well i think i'll get away with them im into kinda the rock/kinda gothy/vintage/dom look/femme fatale look

    Different folks/different strokes. As I said, she was being complimented when she wore them. She wore them with something similar to the attached only in black.

    I thought the boots were a weeeee bit OTT myself, but with that jacket they'd be gorgeous.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,086 ✭✭✭irishvamp90


    well that jacket would tone them down.depends on your style with them.can we put up a poll on the boots???
