Although most of us see Christian Louboutin’s shoes as fabulous, almost perfect, works of art, he admittedly states, they are not made for comfort. The Washington Post’s Robin Givhan was able to talk to Mr. Louboutin himself recently when he made an appearance at Tysons Galleria in Virginia (which I’m highly mad I missed). Louboutin stated, "I would hate for someone to look at my shoe and say, 'Oh my God! That looks so comfortable!' That's not what I want to project. But I'm not a sadist," he says. "I don't believe suffering makes you beautiful. But comfort is not part of my creative process." And so he is right. They definitely aren’t the most comfortable shoes, but damn you look good wearing them. Plus, me being a shortie, I can tower over everyone in his five inch heels and feel important. Louboutin says he understands he is not a technician and does not try to project so. And although his shoes are not as comfortable as his rival Manolo Blahnik, his creativity – in my opinion – is far more superb. Technician or no technician, and as long as I don’t topple over and die, Louby’s are alright with me.
