If you have Christian L's...
Does the red come off the bottom?
I have started to *possibly* think about getting a pair. But I feel like after 5 wears, the red would be scratched off?
Also, how do the sizes run? I'd probably buy online. (If I ever got the nerve to blow that much money on shoes.)

Re: If you have Christian L's...
I think they run pretty true to size.
The red only scratches...it doesn't really "come off" but you always see it b/c of the parts of the shoes that don't touch the floor (the arch part)...the inside of the heel.

Re: If you have Christian L's...
The red comes off the bottom on the front where you walk, but a good cobbler can re-sole them for you. I find that they run a little small, but every style is a bit different. I recommend trying them on to be sure. I'm pretty much always a 7 and I have two pairs one that's a 7 and ones a 7.5.

Re: If you have Christian L's...
Yes the red does come off the bottom like the other girls said but there's a place in the city where you can get a red rubber sole put on them to preserve the red and I'd definitely recommed trying on a shoe before you buy it, some run very small some true to size but it really depends on the shoe

agree and agree -
I am also VERY hard on my feet and the red sole absolutely comes off - next pair are going to the man in the city for rubber sole BEFORE I step out in them

Re: If you have Christian L's...
I would say def some of the sizes run pretty small. You can go to Bergdorfs or Saks or one of his boutiques in NYC to try them on. I ordered my regular size in the Pigalle and had to go up a size, they were sooo tight!  Also, does anyone know of someone on the island who does the soles? thanks!

I buy them from here and have my cobbler in Mineola put them on.

Re: If you have Christian L's...
Thank you all for this info! So if you get a red rubber sole put on to protect the shoe, can you see it? Too bad the red wears off so quickly.

I take all my shoes to leather spa also!!!!
Yes, the red comes off the bottom a little bit. I think each pair of CLs run differently. i have two and one is 6.5 the other 7.5 I suggest trying them on.
