The So Kate story

Design philosophy

Christian Louboutin bet that a slim high heel with a sharp toe gives the foot the longest possible line. So Kate is slimmer and higher than the original Pigalle, with no platform, so the leg reads as one continuous line. The red sole was born by chance when he painted an assistant's nails red — becoming the most famous signature in footwear history.

Material quality and our checks

On inspection the red lacquer layer under the sole is evenly spread with no streaks, and the glossy black leather is deep, reflecting light cleanly. The toe is lined inside despite its sharp exterior, and the heel is solid and sturdy.

FAQ

Is So Kate comfortable despite its height?

A high heel around 120 mm with no platform, so it's for occasions, not long walking; those used to high heels find it elegant, and anyone preferring comfort may choose a lower house model.

How do I protect the red sole?

The red sole naturally wears with walking, and a cobbler can add a clear protective layer under it from the start to keep its colour longer.

Does the sharp toe press the toes?

It's lined inside, but very pointed, so a half size up is advised for wider toes, and the personal shopper helps with that.

What's the difference between So Kate and Pigalle?

So Kate is slimmer, higher and platform-free, so it reads more dramatic, while Pigalle is a touch wider and steadier. Both are icons; choose by the comfort you want.
