Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Super Dombasle Cork Ankle Strap Platforms

Monsieur Christian Louboutin transports us back into the 70′s with his groovy “Super Dombasle” cork platforms. Well, describing these just as platforms might be a slight understatement. SUPER MEGA BADASS PLATFORMS would be more fitting, I guess. I don’t know whether I would be daring enough to rock these 6 inchers, but I sure love the bright turquoise suede on these and cork shoes are ideal spring/summer shoes.

C Label Denda-1A Platforms

UPDATE (04/18/2012): Yay, just came across another Louboutin look-a-like. These faux-cork/faux-leather platforms by C Label cost a very wallet-friendly $39.95 and come in 4 colors: turquoise, fuchsia, black and brown.

To no one’s surprise Steve Madden has copied Louboutin’s mega platforms, but tamed them a little by reducing the platform by 1.25 inches which I actually prefer because it makes them so much more wearable. If you’re not into brights, these beauties also come in blue or black floral print.

I really wanted those shoes! I wish they didn’t show so much toe though, i wonder how comfortable the SM ones are.
