Christian Louboutin Orlan Double Platform T-Strap

Kori Ellis — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 07:25:00 +0000

Though I’m a huge Christian Louboutin fan, I’m not sold on this one. I don’t like the toe at all. The peep isn’t peeping enough. It would have looked better with an open toe in my opinion.

What do you think?

For some reason I find it funny that Jessica Simpson has a shoe named Manning rather than Romo. However, this Mary Jane is cute nonetheless.

This patent leather shoe features double straps, an almond toe and 3-inch heel. These shoes come in either black or rugged brown.
