We utilize a multi-point authentication process that combines expert human inspection with advanced AI technology. Our specialists examine the stitching density, red sole curvature, logo typography, and material quality. Every pair includes a Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee certificate.

We grade our inventory strictly. Excellent Condition means minimal wear (usually just to the soles). Very Good may show light creasing. We photograph every imperfection so there are no surprises. View our latest arrivals to see our grading in action.

Many of our items include the original packaging. Check the specific product description for details. If the original box is missing, we provide our own luxury Avantelle magnetic box and dust bags to protect your investment.

Christian Louboutin shoes typically run small and narrow, especially the So Kate and Pigalle styles. We generally recommend sizing up by half a size (0.5). For boots, true to size is often best. Please contact us for specific measurements.

The So Kate has a longer toe box and steeper pitch, often requiring you to size up. The Pigalle Follies has a slightly wider toe box. We provide specific fit notes on every product page.

Red lacquer naturally wears off with use. To preserve the color, we recommend applying a protective rubber sole (vibram) once you have worn them a few times. This does not devalue the shoe; it protects your investment.

While we do not perform repairs in-house, we can recommend authorized cobblers in the UK who specialize in luxury footwear and red sole restoration.

We offer a 14-day return policy for all items returned in the same condition they were sent. We attach a security tag to every pair; if this tag is removed, the return cannot be accepted. Returns in the UK are free.

Orders placed before 2 PM GMT are dispatched the same day via Royal Mail Special Delivery (Next Day). All shipments are fully insured and require a signature upon delivery.

Yes, we ship worldwide via DHL Express. Delivery typically takes 2-5 business days depending on your location. Please note that import duties may apply for customers outside the UK.
