Look close enough and you will spot them at awards ceremonies, movie premieres, casual outings, and even the TV talk show circuit. And unlike other designer shoes, Louboutins are easily recognizable by the trademark red leather sole.

The origin of the red sole is a story in itself - many years ago, during a runway show, Louboutin thought the shoe was missing something. When he saw one of his employees wearing red Chanel nail polish, he instantly felt that the shoe would be complete if he painted it on the sole of his shoe. It has been his signature ever since! So think of a Louboutin shoe as painted with red Chanel polish - how can you not feel special when you wear them?
