Reviewed by the Avantelle Authentication Team · Updated July 2026

The Sofia Z is a 100mm peep-toe pump from Christian Louboutin, cut in patent calf leather.

At 100mm with no platform, you feel the full pitch, so it reads as a statement heel. It fits true to size for most people. Every pair we handle is authenticated in house before it reaches you, which is why a good pre-owned pair holds its appeal long after it leaves the boutique.

Wearing it

Because there is no platform, you feel the full 100mm, so these are more of a seated-occasion shoe than an all-day heel. In our experience 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 Sofia Z run true to size?

The Sofia Z 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

Spotting a genuine Sofia Z

We authenticate every pair in house. These are the details our team checks first on any Sofia Z that comes through us.

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 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.

03

The heel and tip

The Sofia Z 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.

04

Construction

Stitching is fine and consistent, the leather lining is 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.

05

Box, dust bag and card

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

Questions

Sofia Z, answered

Does the Sofia Z run true to size?

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

How high is the Sofia Z heel?

100mm, about 3.9 inches, with no platform.

Is the Sofia Z comfortable?

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

What is the difference between the Sofia Z and the Follies?

The main difference is height: the Sofia Z is 100mm and the Follies 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 Sofia Z?

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 Sofia Z?

It retails around £870 new at Christian Louboutin. Pre-owned pairs are typically well below that; we source authenticated pairs to your budget.
