My first pair of Christian Louboutin shoes were classic espadrilles, and I wore them out because they were so unbelievably comfortable and beautiful at the same time! Now, Louboutin has made a more modernized version of those espadrilles that I owned so many years ago, and they are just as cute and comfortable as ever!

These espadrilles are perfect for an occasion when you want the height of a heel, but you don’t want aching feet. They are also very glamorous and feminine, as they are evocative of a ballet shoe. There is a ballet tie in the front of the shoe and the ankle strap also ties like a ballerina’s toe shoe. Ultra feminine and comfortable, these shoes are absolutely perfect!
