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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,846 ✭✭✭✭eth0_


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,260 ✭✭✭jdivision


    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.


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


    they are so hot and badass sexy time boots;)

    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.


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


    stick up the pic i cant see it for some reason

    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???

    Oow now with your remarks earlier on I just don't know how to take that comment. All I'll say is I do like my lady to dress well on occasion (I'm reasonable) but I dislike that I like it and get so involved with it. I know it annoys her sometimes but I just can't help myself and like to take an interest.


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


    hey if your buying her them boots you can show me interest i dont mind presents of clothes!!

    Yep, the pic is not what you will receive. Don't do it!


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


    very true all these handbags/shoes from china are deffo dodgy but again good knocks for cheap?might be worth a chance


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,039 ✭✭✭✭Kintarō Hattori

    Knockoffs are never worth it. There's a good reason you pay for a brand, it's made from better quality materials, generally looks better and will usually last the course.

    They are without shadow of a doubt F.M.B's


    jaw was on the ground !


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


    so yay or nay on them?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,252 ✭✭✭✭Madame Razz


    Well I just bought me a pair so I'm going to say yay!!

    They look very nice indeed I have to say; very good quality.

    They're the sort of boot that the outfit maketh.

    If you wore them with something trashy then they would look trashy, with something chic they would look rather sassy, with an ever so slightly risqué edge to them that thigh high boots are simply never going to shake off....

    But a little bit of risqué never hurt anybody, and I reckon with my 34' inside leg they'll look rather nice.....

    I can never get knee high boots that are knee high so these could be the perfect solution:D

    I'm already planning the outfits;)


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


    yay!!got the apollo knee highs?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,252 ✭✭✭✭Madame Razz

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J


    But ladies, if you don't look like everyone else then people you don't know and might never meet will cast some catholic repressive guilt upon their perception of you. How can you live with yourselves? :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,844 ✭✭✭Honey-ec


    Thigh high boots can look absolutely amazing or absolutely horrific, it all depends on the boot itself and the whole outfit (including hair and make-up).

    Personally, I don't feel like I could pull them off, but a friend of mine has a beautiful genuine leather pair with a kind of a cuff at the top (like pirate boots). She wears them with black skinny jeans and a black slim-fitting polo neck, and I have to say, it is one of the sexiest yet most covered-up outfits I've ever seen on anyone.

    As for the OP's question, if something seems too good to be true, then it usually is.


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


    hey madame razz did you order the boots?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,252 ✭✭✭✭Madame Razz


    hey madame razz did you order the boots?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,252 ✭✭✭✭Madame Razz

    Yeah, I suppose, If you look at them that way. Think they could be really funky with the right outfit though. I have a pair of tight black trousers and a zorro shirt(best way to describe it!) and a sort of ruched black waist belt in mind to wear with them, and a few other ideas also; but I'll have to see them first!!

    Again Kintaro- Cheers for the link:D:pac:;)


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