How to Spot Fake Christian Louboutin: Real vs Fake Guides

To tell if Christian Louboutin shoes are real, start with the logo on the insole and sole. Replica factories often get the font wrong, with letters that are too thick, too thin or shaped differently, and a poorly stamped logo can be hard to read. Stitching on genuine pairs is small, neat and straight, while fakes tend to show loose stitches or lines that curve.

The box label is worth reading too. Its reference names the style and the color, so check that it, the style name and the size match the shoes inside. A correct label is not proof, because boxes get swapped. The guides below cover the Pigalle and So Kate pumps and Louboutin spike sneakers.
