Christian Louboutin red knee high boots

Christian Louboutin ‘Armurabotta 120’, $1,795

WARNING: This post may contain a LOT of gushing. I mean, I’m trying to restrain myself here, but I’m not doing a very good job, and seriously, can you blame me? It’s not often I declare a pair of boots to be Shoe Kryptonite, but when I do, those boots are almost always by Christian Louboutin, and they’re almost always bright red. It must be my inner Shoeperhero making herself heard, because if ever there was a pair of boots fit for a superhero, I think we can all probably agree that these boots would be it, no? Just imagine them with a bright blue jumpsuit if you don’t believe me. Er, OK, maybe skip that idea…

(It’s just occurred to me that if I DID have a bright blue jumpsuit, I could wear these boots with it for Halloween next year, and justify their purchase that way. Great plan, huh? Now all I need to do is convince ShoeperMan that it’s TOTALLY worth spending $1,795 on a Halloween costume…)

As for what you WOULD wear these with.. .honestly, who cares? LOOK at them? No one will notice what you wear with them: these babies will be the centre of attention wherever they go, and will probably make you FEEL like a superhero, regardless of what else you’re wearing. The fact that the sole will perfectly match the upper just makes them even better!
