160mm heel Square toe Platform True to Size

Avantelle Authentication Team · Updated July 2026

The Aquabootie is an architectural platform ankle boot with a squared, round-edged toe on a bold 160mm heel, shown in Palio orange Cordia calf.

At 160mm with a concealed platform, it carries real height while staying more wearable than it looks. It fits true to size for most people. Authenticated in house and chosen for condition, it is a model that rewards buying pre-owned with care.

Wearing it

That hidden platform shortens the working height of the 160mm, so it carries further into the evening than you would expect. The wear shows first at the heel tip and along the sole, so that is the first thing we check on any pair that comes through us.

Does the Aquabootie run true to size?

The Aquabootie fits true to size for most people. If you are between sizes or have a wider foot, take the half size up rather than down.

Authentication

How do you spot a fake Aquabootie?

We authenticate every pair in house. These are the details our team checks first on any Aquabootie that comes through us. For the full method, read our guide to authenticating Louboutins.

01

The red sole

Louboutin's red is a specific shade (Pantone 18-1663, Rouge Louboutin). On a worn pair it fades and scuffs at the tread first. A sole that reads orange or pinkish, or paint sitting on top of the leather rather than in it, is a warning sign.

02

The sole stamp

The red sole is engraved with Christian Louboutin and the size, set across the arch. On a genuine pair the lettering is crisp, evenly pressed and correctly placed. Shallow, uneven or badly spaced engraving, or a stamp that looks printed on rather than pressed in, is a common tell on a fake.

03

The insole stamp

Christian Louboutin and Made in Italy are stamped cleanly into the insole with the size. The lettering is even and precisely spaced. Smudged, shallow, or misaligned stamping is one of the most common tells on a fake.

04

The heel and tip

The Aquabootie is a 160mm heel with a concealed platform, so the pitch and proportions are exact. Check the heel is the correct height and the tip is a genuine Louboutin replacement, not a generic one.

05

Construction

Stitching is fine and even, the lining supple, and the shoe holds its lines. Loose threads, glue seepage, or a toe box that does not taper cleanly all point away from an authentic pair.

06

Box and dust bag

Original packaging is a supporting signal, never proof on its own. We authenticate on the shoe itself, and a genuine box and dust bag with the correct labelling add confidence.

Questions

Aquabootie, answered

Does the Aquabootie run true to size?

Broadly yes. The Aquabootie fits true to size for most people; size up half a size if you are between sizes or wider-footed.

How high is the Aquabootie heel?

160mm, about 6.3 inches, with a concealed platform.

Is the Aquabootie comfortable?

The concealed platform makes the 160mm more manageable than the height suggests, though it is still a heel for occasions rather than all day.

What is the difference between the Aquabootie and the Pavlova Booty Alta?

The main difference is height: the Aquabootie is 160mm and the Pavlova Booty Alta is 160mm. Both are pointed, red-soled Louboutins, so it comes down to the silhouette and how much heel you want.

Can you authenticate a pre-owned Aquabootie?

Yes. We authenticate every pair in house, and we also offer a free check on any Louboutins you already own. Send us a few photos and our team will take a look.

How much is a pre-owned Aquabootie?

It retails around £1615 new at Christian Louboutin. Pre-owned pairs are typically well below that; we source authenticated pairs to your budget.
