The Follies

Christian Louboutin Follies

Avantelle Authentication Team · Updated July 2026

The Follies is Louboutin's current pointed pump in the Pigalle spirit, a sharp 100mm point often cut in fine mesh for a barely-there line.

At 100mm with no platform, you feel the full pitch, so it reads as a proper statement heel. It fits true to size for most people. Because we check every pair by hand, a clean pre-owned example is a confident way into the model.

Wearing it

With no platform under the 100mm, the pitch is steep, so they suit a dinner or an event over a long day on your feet. On a fabric upper, marking shows at the toe and heel first, so that is where we concentrate.

Does the Follies run true to size?

The Follies 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 Follies?

We authenticate every pair in house. These are the details our team checks first on any Follies 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 Follies is a 100mm heel with no 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

Look for clean, consistent stitching, a smooth lining, and crisp edges that keep their shape. Glue at the seams or a soft, collapsing toe box is a warning sign.

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

Follies, answered

Does the Follies run true to size?

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

How high is the Follies heel?

100mm, about 3.9 inches, with no platform.

Is the Follies comfortable?

With 100mm and no platform it is a steep, seated-occasion shoe. If you want the look with more wearability, the Erozee is easier to walk in.

What is the difference between the Follies and the Erozee?

The main difference is height: the Follies is 100mm and the Erozee is 100mm. 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 Follies?

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 Follies?

It retails around £1110 new at Christian Louboutin. Pre-owned pairs are typically well below that; we source authenticated pairs to your budget.
