As Expected
When I saw that my size was available, I jumped on the chance to purchase these shoes before losing them to others. I was not disappointed. They fit well for Louboutins. As is well known, the designer does not design for comfort but rather looks. These shoes do not disappoint. As I wear them more, they will conform to my foot. They are cut low on the sides making for a sexy look. The toe box allows room for my toes to wiggle a little. The heel stays on. While I may not wear these shoes for an 8 or 10 hour day, the time that I will wear them is well worth the joy that I experiebnce while wearing them along with a little bit of paid at the end. I do recommend these shoes to anyone who wants to make a statement.,... Show more

Mom shoes!
My wife has 2 pair and loves them. Also, last night at an event, we met another mom, with her 4 y/o son, wearing these in beige, and she was saying how classy she felt to shed the "mom" clothes and be a lady again in an elegant dress and these shoes. It is interesting how every time you meet a woman in Louboutins, she seems to be exuding a sense of class and grace. Perhaps not for everyone, but I know my wife has the same feeling when wearing hers. Granted, this is Dallas, where you will see most every woman in certain restaurants wearing red-soled stilettos, but still. Wearing these is an event.My wife can't wear hers all day but they are great for a couple of hours or so. Her go to for work are the Prada 85mm pumps.... Show more

Perfect classic shoe
I love this shoe so much I decided to wear it out the same day it got delivered to me. It is as comfortable as you would expect a high heel/ no platform shoe to be (even after standing for 2+ hours). I got the nude color and I find it very versatile due to its undertone. Some nudes have more of a pink, beige or brown undertone which tend to limit the matches. CL has one of the most beautiful nudes I have ever seen- whether it be the So Kate or other models- I think CL has found just the perfect balance of undertone, which allows it to flatter a lot of skin tones.Now to the sizing: The So Kate definitely runs small- no surprise here. I am a real size 10, and size 41 in most designer shoes. That is pretty standard. I own a few CLs with sizes ranging from 41 to 42. ...

I am a real size 10, and size 41 in most designer shoes. That is pretty standard. I own a few CLs with sizes ranging from 41 to 42. From my experience, CL run a whole size small on US size 8 and up, and tend to be TTS(true to size) to half size small on US size 7.5 and under. I think this is a good general rule of thumb if you are not able to try the shoe in store prior to purchasing, however I also think it's important to read consumer reviews on the specific CL model you are contemplating and go with the general opinion which differs from shoe to shoe. The majority of my CLs are 42 including this So Kate I just got. The Pigalle is known to run TTS (or large for smaller feet) by Louboutin's standards, so that is the only model I own in my true size 41 or occasionally 41.5.This is such a beautiful shoe, go ahead and splurge, you won't regret!...

Saks will sell you returned So Kates
I've done my research on these shoes, the shoe itself is beautiful this review is more about purchasing the shoes online from Saks. Saks will sell you the shoe at full price new but send you a used pair in a beaten up box with no dust bag or spare tips as all other shoes come at full price from other sellers. The most they will offer is you to send pics of the shoe to wait up to 15 days to be told if you will get a 10% refund. I've spoken to 3 representatives today that cannot explain why used shoes were sent to me and why they do not include the dust bag or tips as one pays for. I'm writing this review in hopes that this will be rectified because $800 is a lot of money for Saks to be playing with customers about.... Show more

Should Come With a Walking Cane
Beautiful and deadly. I bought these in a 37 (I'm a 6.5US). They fit, although it's a tight squeeze, and if it was any bigger, my foot would pop out more often than it already does (2 or so times per every 5 NYC blocks). The design is so low cut, your foot is barely in there at all. I bought these because they seemed to me to be the sexiest, most versatile and timeless heel. The classic silhouette, the needle stiletto, the nude color.. They're gorgeous and make my legs look Photoshopped. The quality and architecture is incontrovertibly top-notch. (Plus, it's an entry-level price range for Louboutins and these are my first.) But I would give them a 0/10 for practicality: They are so uproariously difficult to walk in, I end up clutching the arm of my poor boyfriend ... MoreBeautiful and deadly.

But I would give them a 0/10 for practicality: They are so uproariously difficult to walk in, I end up clutching the arm of my poor boyfriend for dear life as we navigate walking at one mile per hour.Don't get me wrong—I'm no stranger to heels, and a self-proclaimed pro at walking in 4-inch stilettos. But that extra 3/4 inch, and the low cut design makes that much of a difference (particularly for a small foot, which works harder to reach a 5 inch arch). Make no mistake—THESE ARE NOT SHOES FOR MOVING, LET ALONE WALKING. They're even harder than my Jimmy Choo 'Anouks,' which are nearly the same design and identical height. The difference is this shoe grips tighter and is slightly narrower. I don't regret them, because they're stunning. But to actually wear them out requires serious planning and backup shoes.I don't recommend these if you're looking for a pair of shoes to actually get a lot of wear out of. They're just going to be too painful no matter how much you tell yourself they won't be. You're going to think about planning your next step every second you wear them. They're all consuming.But if you don't mind wearing commuter shoes, and switching out for these lovelies just as you get into a restaurant for brunch, or outside a Broadway show, if you don't mind wearing them in 1-hour increments and then soaking your feet in hot water, then carry blister size band-aids and a pair of flats with you, go for it, and I wish you safety and luck!...

So Kate is SO BOMB
The first time I laid eyes on the “So Kate,” I was in love. After many reviews and researching, I finally bought a pair and I am sooo glad that I did! First thing’s first. I had to go up a whole shoe size. I typically wear a US 9/ Eur 39. My foot is pretty average width and I know that European shoes typically run small so to be completely safe, I opted for a size up. Initially, it was a tight fit but over time, the leather began to mold to my foot. I also suggest walking around the house in them to break them in and to make them a little more comfortable. I read many reviews where people have said that they are the most unbearable shoes or how they couldn’t stand in them. Honestly, this made me nervous but I personally didn’t have this problem. Maybe because I’m ... MoreThe first time I laid eyes on the “So Kate,” I was in love. After many reviews and researching, I finally bought a pair and I am sooo glad that I did! First thing’s first.

They're Louboutins, not Nike sneakers
Ok ladies, let's be honest... We don't buy Louboutins to be comfortable, to run marathons, or expecting them to be anywhere true to our normal shoe size. This is my 4th pair of CL's (my first and 2nd were the Rolando platform pump, I got a whole size bigger the first time, then a few years later, got my normal size. I also have the Simple 85 pump, also true to size for my foot). This pair I also ended up buying true to size, but that's not the case for most people. You HAVE to go with what is going to fit your foot, and the best way to do that is going to be to try them on in-store, and then order on-line if you have to. Or buy multiples on-line so you have some options!This shoe is completely stunning, and my favorite of the 4 pairs I have owned. As I've gotten a ... MoreOk ladies, let's be honest...

Or buy multiples on-line so you have some options!This shoe is completely stunning, and my favorite of the 4 pairs I have owned. As I've gotten a little older, the lack of platform I find is actually more appropriate for the office, and these are absolutely perfect for the workplace without being overly flashy or skanky, as some high heels can look if you're not selective. Of course the red sole will catch some attention, but that's part of why you buy them, right? And they go with EVERYTHING!I am lucky in that my parking garage is attached to my office, so I do not walk blocks and blocks on hard concrete every day, and would not recommend that you do that in these shoes. The heels are very thin, and the heel caps will wear down VERY quickly! If you are new to buying Louboutins, you need to check your heel caps once a week to make sure they are not too worn down to wear another day and need to be replaced. If you're not careful, you can end up walking to work, hearing a metal clicking sound on the floor, and then realizing you are walking on the bare heel!! So be forewarned. Any good shoe repair place can replace these before it's too late, so don't worry. You just have to be cognizant of this fact.You will have to cram your toes into the small toe box, but I have pretty long toes, and this hasn't been a problem, and my feet do not slip at all. I also always put the drug store brand heel liners in every pair of designer shoes I own (yes, a $5 heel guard on every one of my $600+ pairs of shoes) and it makes ALL the difference in breaking them in! When you buy the shoe, keep this in mind, as it will make the shoe slightly tighter when you put it on. However, I also find that all designer shoes stretch a bit also, so you always want them a little snug when first purchased.Overall, this shoe is GORGEOUS and I would highly recommend it!!!...

Why would you put stickers on red bottoms plus missing dust bags
These shoes were shipped from another store, not the warehouse, so someone thought it was a good idea to put a price sticker on the soles of the red bottoms. That was not smart as it was horrible trying to take the sticker off and even now there is sticky residue left on it. It also didn’t come with any of the dust bags that it’s supposed to. Very disappointed.... Show more

You better know your perfect size or you’ll be stuck with a worthless pair of luxury shoes too!
If you do not know your exact size of this or likely any other luxury brand shoe, DO NOT order from Saks! They rejected return claiming the shoes were worn and lied multiple times saying they would send a second return label to reassess the decision. I have been on the phone with customer service for hours over a dozen phone calls. Sent multiple photos proving the shoes are flawless but still no response from Saks management for 6 months. I am stuck with a $700 pair of perfect shoes that do not fit. I will never make the mistake of buying a luxury brand from Saks again.... Show more
