Christian Louboutin Size Guide
Finding the perfect fit is essential for both comfort and elegance. Use our comprehensive guide to ensure your Louboutins fit beautifully.
Quick Answer
Christian Louboutin shoes generally run small. Most styles run half a size to a full size smaller than standard UK/US sizing. We recommend sizing up, especially for pointed-toe styles like the So Kate. Use the chart below to find your perfect fit.

Model-Specific Fit Guide
Different Christian Louboutin styles fit differently. Here's what to expect:
So Kate / Pointed Toe Styles
Runs SmallFit: Runs approximately half to full size small
Recommendation: Size up. The extreme pointed toe requires extra room at the front. If you're between sizes, always go up.
Heel Heights: 100mm, 120mm
Pigalle / Pigalle Follies
True to SizeFit: Runs true to size to slightly small
Recommendation: Order your usual EU size. Consider sizing up for wider feet or if between sizes.
Heel Heights: 85mm, 100mm, 120mm
Iriza / D'Orsay Styles
True to SizeFit: Generally true to size
Recommendation: Order your usual size. The open sides and half d'Orsay cut provide more flexibility.
Heel Heights: 70mm, 85mm, 100mm
Boots (Ankle & Knee)
True to SizeFit: Generally true to size
Recommendation: Consider calf width for knee-high styles. Check individual listings for shaft circumference measurements.
How to Measure Your Feet
Stand on a piece of paper against a wall, wearing the type of hosiery you'd wear with heels.
Mark the longest point of your foot (usually the big toe) on the paper.
Measure from the wall to the mark in centimetres.
Compare your measurement to the chart above to find your size.
Measure both feet and use the larger measurement.
A Note on Width
Christian Louboutin shoes are designed with a European last, which tends to run narrow. If you have wider feet:
- Consider sizing up by half a size
- Look for styles with more forgiving cuts (Iriza, slingbacks, open-toe styles)
- Patent leather has less stretch than soft leather
- Pointed toe styles may feel tighter than round or almond toe
