The Yangzee

Reviewed by the Avantelle Authentication Team · Updated July 2026

The Yangzee is a statement knee-high with a plush faux-fur shaft and a sharp pointed toe on a 100mm stiletto, shown here in bronze Cordia calf.

With nothing under the arch, the 100mm sits at its full, honest pitch. It fits true to size for most people. Every pair we handle is authenticated in house before it reaches you, so a good pre-owned example holds its appeal long after it leaves the boutique.

Wearing it

There is no platform to soften the 100mm, so think of these as a statement heel for a seated occasion. 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 Yangzee run true to size?

The Yangzee 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 Yangzee

We authenticate every pair in house. These are the details our team checks first on any Yangzee 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 Yangzee 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

The make should feel precise: even stitching, a supple lining, and cleanly finished edges. Rough seams or uneven lasting are common tells on a fake.

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

Yangzee, answered

Does the Yangzee run true to size?
Broadly yes. The Yangzee fits true to size for most people; size up half a size if you are between sizes or wider-footed.
How high is the Yangzee heel?
100mm, about 3.9 inches, with no platform.
Is the Yangzee comfortable?
With 100mm and no platform it is a steep, seated-occasion shoe. If you want the look with more wearability, the Yangzee is easier to walk in.
What is the difference between the Yangzee and the Yangzee?
The main difference is height: the Yangzee is 100mm and the Yangzee 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 Yangzee?
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 Yangzee?
It retails around £1895 new at Christian Louboutin. Pre-owned pairs are typically well below that; we source authenticated pairs to your budget.
