Yes, a sassy little Louboutin. Love. But I didn't have any sassy Loubies in my closet. Sad face! So, I finally bit the bullet and picked up a pair of (used!) Louboutins on eBay.
From a distance they look in pretty decent shape:
The bottoms have some wear, but the previous owner had added a protective layer on the sole, which I like because it feels like I have a little more traction when I walk.
Up close you can see some more wear and tear. Some scuffed leather, little gouges out of the toe, etc.
While it would have been great to pick up a sassier pair, these little Loubies are actually quite comfortable, and are a perfect work shoe. The wear and tear are what you would see typically from wearing them around a little bit, and all of the marks on them I probably would have made myself with a brand new pair anyway.
Oh, and the best part? I scored these for $200! (Awesome deal in the world of Louboutins. It is a little disheartening that this is the most I've ever spent on a pair of shoes, and they are used!)
While not exactly stilettos, at least now I can prance around showing off the sassy red sole!

Rock on! That's a great deal. I use to scope out ebay Loubies all the time in hopes of buying a used pair. Let's see a photo of you in them next ;)
That's how I got my first pair of Manolos! I ended up buying one more new just because they last for so long/are so comfy compared to cheaper shoes. Enjoy your new shoes. :)
Gaaah i love them. (And your icon of course!) I am considering buying myself a pair (probably on eBay, like you) when I graduate. We'll see!
Yay! And of course since you are Mrs. Stiletto, purchasing these shoes was the right thing to do ;)
Holy cow! $200 for worn shoes? I don't even want to know how much they cost new!
Those were a great deal (well, for Loubies!). You pretty much had to buy them at some point though, to celebrate being Mrs. Stiletto! I just wish I'd gotten to be part of the shoe generation so I had that excuse!
