Louboutin...or Matalan?

Lbtmatalan
Christian Louboutin may be the designer of the moment, but I can't help thinking buying a pair of wedges for $710 from his current collection is a bit of a waste when you can't even flash that 'look, I wear overpriced shoes' red sole at people. Especially when the high street is bringing out similar (and more wearable) alternatives for as little as £10. Yes, ten pounds! The Matalan offering (right, also in grey) may be missing the stacked platform, but I think that adds to the appeal and makes the shoes much more flattering for the average shoe fiend. If you want them I suggest you act fast, my local only had one pair left this weekend.

The Matalan's look so much nicer

=P You're so right about the red sole.

Faith had a similar pair, but they didn't fit me, damn my odd shaped feet =[ Definitely having a trip to matalan, I adore anything red and especially those!

do they have any of these stores in the US? i love those Matalan wedges!!

Yeah! I got the grey Matalan ones on Sunday, and yes for £10!! They had one lone pair sitting on the shelf, and they were a 3! I take that as fate; if they actually have the shoes i want in my size then I'm meant to buy them. Like the universe and all we know would suffer the consequences if i did not buy them.

My boyfriend is still not convinced, but i for one am not willing to take the chance and not get the shoes, just incase.....

Emma, either we were at the same store or there's a strange size 3 phenomenon going on! That's exactly what happened to us. One pair of grey, size 3. Shame I'm a 6.
