Generally, our shoes run true to size but everyone can have a different fitting. Sizing preference depends solely on the wearer. The most common misconception when purchasing Christian Louboutin shoes is that a larger size will increase the width of the toe box and decrease the tightness of the material; when actually, going up in size only changes the length.
None of our shoes are pre-stretched, but the majority of our materials will loosen up over time. After multiple wears, most materials will stretch and form to the shape of the wearer's foot.
To assist with fitting, our online specialists try on each style and provide general sizing advice on our website. Once you click on a product, you can find “Fit Suggestions” to the right side, above the size chart. The “Size Guide”, also on the right side, shows direct conversions from French sizes to UK and US sizes.
We provide these references to help you find the best fit, but should you have additional questions, please contact our Customer Service from Monday to Friday, 9AM to 6PM (EST) and Saturday from 10AM to 6PM (EST).
A size guide is available on each product page.
