Editorial Review for Christian Louboutin – by Jennifer Howze
In Short
Amid the modern, boxy, white shoe purveyors of upper Madison, this low-lit salon, richly decorated with fabric and a floor-level chandelier, stands out like an exotic bird. Louboutin's witty creations, with their telltale red soles, have made fans of fashion icons as diverse as Caroline of Monaco and Madonna. The shoes have a Girl Friday/Mildred Pierce verve, updated with whimsical touches--feathers, bows, cut-outs, funky fabrics. If a tryst in the City of Light is out of the question, a pair of these, which start at $350, are the perfect substitute.

I haven't been to the CL in the Meatpacking, but I have purchased from the CL on Madison a few times. The sales help are nice (they actually leave you ALONE to look for yourself without getting in your face every 5 seconds to suggest some hideous thing). When I'm ready to try on, however, the ladies are very helpful, making sure the shoes really fit. (Rememer, these shoes run small, depending on the cut, up to a size in difference, as I have experienced). The sales people can be a little wrapped up in their own conversations/little private jokes so don't go there hoping for someone to get very interactive with you in choosing a pair of shoes. They don't have the largest selection but the calm, quiet atmosphere makes it worth it. (Barneys has the largest selection). Bottom line: polite, detached salespeople without the dreaded bitchiness of other boutiques (ahem, Prada).

I love Christian Louboutin! I was thrilled to meet the artist himself recently at the Madison Ave store! The staff is helpful at both locations and I've never been more happy with any shoes in my life. Merci!
Pros: best shoes ever
Cons: always so busy, need more sales staff
