Louboutin #3 and #4 - Jenny Natural Canvas and black Hyper Prive with red tip

I found these on ebay from the same seller and grabbed both.  To me, the black peeptoe with red tip is the quintessential Louboutin shoe and I always thought it would be the first pair I would own.  I'd never tried the Hyper Prives on before but they look similar to the Very Prives and both contain 'Prive' so they must fit the same right?  Wrong.  You'd think by now I'd learned my lesson about seemingly similar Louboutins NOT fitting the same.  This is another one.




The Hyper Prive is exactly the same as the Very Prive except the platform at the front of the HPs is taller (1 inch) than the VPs (I'd say 3/4 inch).  I think the higher platform actually pushes my foot up and out so my foot doesn't sit as comfortably inside the shoe and I have the dreaded muffin top foot.  I've also got an issue with the left shoe so all in all, the fit is not great.  I'm not sure if the fact I got them half a size up from TTS contributes but it probably does.  I'll probably end up selling these, but not before perving on them a LOT.




Research had told me Jennys are great for a wider foot and I took these TTS.  Let me tell you, they are amazing for wide feet.  They fit me perfectly and despite the heel height of 150mm, they are probably the most comfortable Louboutin I own.  I still have to stick heel grips in the back because of my skinny ankle but otherwise they fit like a glove!

  1. Shame about the shoes. You should just go to DJ's and try them on.

    1. I know, I try but DJs doesn't stock a lot of styles and they also don't stock anything smaller than 36 :(
