It's no secret that Christian Louboutin is a master craftsman of luxury shoes, but styles like the Athina pumps prove it's one notch above the rest. Handcrafted in Italy from smooth, supple suede to a towering stiletto silhouette, this monochrome pair is beauty and comfort incarnate – thanks to plush leather insoles and supportive straps. Please note, Christian Louboutin’s signature red lacquered soles will wear out when tried on a hard surface other than carpet, this is normal wear and tear and is not considered to be a manufacturing defect. Please try these shoes on a carpeted surface, as any damage to the soles may prevent us from accepting returns.
