Christian Louboutin shoes realized early on that fashion trends in footwear should reflect the needs that women have in their everyday lives. That's because Christian Louboutin believes in comfort, so much so that each shoe is meticoulously hand crafted in Italy. As any woman knows, stiletto heels are designed to be sexy, but standing in them for any length of time can be very painful. To solve this problem many of Louboutin's designs have a hidden platform in the sole, so that no matter how high the heel is you're supported.
