Killer Deal on Designer Heels? It’s probably too good to be true
posted by: Shomore in Shoe Brands on July 23rd, 2010
Ever been tempted by websites selling ‘authentic’ Louboutins at 70-80% off retail prices? As we’ve said before, your chances are high that those websites are selling cheap imitations. To see just how poor the quality of the knockoffs are, ABCNews had a special feature on tonight that digs into the sole of a shoe. As for the shoes above, the ones are the left are the authentic Louboutins. The ones are the right are cheap pleather knockoffs.

Um, if the person who posted comment #8 is a graduate of the Rosetta Stone program, I'll take note to never buy.

Not even gonna lie, I was soooo tempted by some "authenitc Christian Louboutins for cheap" on some sketchy website a few weeks ago. But I decided against it! It's against my fashion morals!
P.S. The Rolando Roccia Gray is one of my dream shoes! I saw Rihanna wearing them one time, and they looked FAAAB.

That is a great bit of investigating by ABC news. It's only a pity that the results mean that they encourage people to shop at the big department stores to avoid buying fakes…

That's pretty close, it's fast and soft, and the N's are softer than in English, the newswoman keeps saying Lah Boo Tan which just is giving me nails on the chalkboard willies. The song I can forgive because the pronunciation is okay, but the emphasis is just weird since she is using it to emphasize the beat.

Galligator, I was told it was LOU-bit-ton, is this wrong? What's right?

It's the time I spent in Belgium & 4 years of HS French that always have me wincing at how many ways people pronouce Louboutin. Can't help it – including the song.
