Ever ordered from "discount" Louboutin websites?

So there are lots of Websites that sell high end designer shoes for 70% off. Now, the fact that you can buy $900 shoes for $180, coupled with grammatically incorrect FAQ pages and silly names like www.christianlouboutinshoes88.com, www.christianlouboutincheap.org, etc. tells me that these are clearly not authentic. But I'm just wondering if A) they're at least decent looking knock offs, and If these sites are total scams that just steal your money. Anyone ever ordered from such a place?

I have had friends order from Chinese knockoff manufactures before with mixed success. My fiance has a rugby jersey he loves, but I have seem some pretty awful shoes and bags.

I would be afraid that they would be terribly uncomfortable - you'll be wearing them a long time on your day, and if they're cheap quality, they might really hurt.

Fake brand names are illegal... you can get high quality, nice shoes from many other sources that are legit...

i think you're probably better off waiting for the real ones to go on sale on online sample sale websites like gilt groupe and ideeli.

I've never seen Louboutin's on gilt, ruelala, etc. BUT, sometimes on Barney's online. I've not ordered the knock offs, just the real deals (and they can still be uncomfortable, lol).

Those are far from decent looking knock offs for to many reasons. The most noticable reason is the color of the sole. Louboutins have red soles, it is his signature. I have a pair of black Louboutin pumps, I bought them from one of his NYC boutiques. I find them very comfortable. You're better off getting a pair of wedding shoes you are comfy in, by whoever, that you wont regret wearing only once. After the wedding save for a real pair of Louboutins. Mine are black pumps, they will never go out of style and are excellent quality, well worth the $595 retail price.

I have ordered from one of these sights.  Kinda shady.  It took weeks to get my shoes, and then when I tried to return them ( I found a pair of shoes I liked more) they wouldnt respond to me.  So I ended up getting stuck with a pair of shoes of so-so quality that I spent 200 bucks on.  Honestly, I wouldnt do it.  Just save your money and get the real ones, it really is worth it!

P.S. Don't worry about wearing real Louboutins outside. Naturally some of the red comes off the bottom of the sole, HI YOU'RE WALKING ON IT, but there are shoe cobbler/repair shops that specialize in repainting that. My firend, cousin and her friend all did it to their Louboutins and they look great! I'll be doing it to mine soon.

Another bonus: each pair of Louboutins comes with an extra pair of lifts!
