My goal for the past 15 years was to own a pair of Louboutin shoes. After paying off my mortgage, I knew: now it's time for a treat. Just spent $1,450 for Louboutins from their site. I haven't worn them yet. And I don't think I'm going to. I want to send them back. I do not know if this shoe is made by Louboutin Couture. If it is, Louboutin needs to be ashamed. I couldn't be any less disappointed. I'm returning. Total waste of my savings.
