You'd expect for that price they would come with protection

When your shoes are so expensive you can’t ruin the soles

I like how she said she saved $20 on the 3M tape when she owns like a hundred $500 shoes 😆

“How to make an impractical pair of shoes even more impractical by making them slippery”

I love that she takes pride and care in her items. It doesn’t really matter, and maybe it’s therapeutic. It also is great advice for those who only have 1 pair or really any nice heels / shoes. I appreciate the idea myself.

Since my parents didn’t have a lot of money before I was born, my dad put red stickers on my mom’s heels. She still has the “red bottoms.” I just think it’s really cute lol

We used to scratch the bottoms on purpose so we wouldn't slip! That's why men's dress shoes are so slick!

I find it hilarious you are talking about saving money when discussing Louboutins

If Louboutins are so expensive and high quality, why don't THEY do this for their shoes? Why does the red paint come off so easily if it's SO important?

This is peak Asian behaviour, when you're rich enough to afford 30 Louboutins but still thrifty enough to want to save on the sole protection.

I'm 45 and I've literally had the same pair of Nike shoes I got really lucky to find at a garage sale for $10 and they looked brand new. They were expensive but to have lasted me 30yrs and counting I'm happy with the one pair I own. I can't imagine how much one pair of your shoes are but they are all really pretty and I'm glad you're taking good care of them.

I have $17k worth of shoes but $8-$12 a shoe for pre cut protectors is just crazy, here’s how to do it on the cheap… …relatable

Wouldn't the shoes become more slippery to walk in, not safe

“Happiness is the same price as red bottoms” And you tell me red bottoms can be damaged just like my happiness

Great tip Racheal! For the commentors who had asked: There's sole protection and sole preservation. The 3m is sole preservation. A form of protection is having a rubber Topy or Vibram done on them from a cobbler. A lot of Louboutin heels owners get em done for grip. Not only does it protect the leather soles, it also adds very good grip, no more slipping lol BUT with that said, Louboutin & some high end shoe designers, don't recommend you getting a Topy grip done on them, because of balance, and how the heel was originally designed to sit on ground, matching heal stub. (The Topy, Vibram rubber grips are a little thick.) Rachel is a pro heel walker, unlike me, walking awkwardly and slipping. So she only needs the 3M covers. Me, I get Topy rubber done on mine, cuz I need all the grip I can get 😂 For the commentors asking WHY these shoes need protection, why would it rub off, wear off so easy, why not just replace shoes etc. Well......I'm not gonna even go there 😂 it's too much to explain.

This is really smart and forward thinking! If a pair ever goes out of style and she holds on to them until they’re vintage, with minimal wear and protected bottoms, she could resell them for an amazing price

I wouldn’t even buy shoes I have to “protect” when I wear them. Especially the sole, like, they’re meant to be walked on.

Are you going to tell me that someone who will spend that kind of money on a pair of heels is going to DYI something to save less than $20🤣🤣🤣

The satisfaction in peeling those off after use- MY GOD IT MUST BE AMAZING

I love scatched red bottoms. That means ppl with scratched bottoms don't worry about them being ruined because they can actually afford them.

I really thought for that price they would give some sort of protection or even insurance 😂

Love how you’re price conscious about the cheap 3M paper even though you’ve got a WALL of Louboutins 😂 (not an insult, just a funny contrast)

Thanks to the internet, I now know how to protect red bottoms that I do not have. How to afford these red bottoms, in ways that sit right with my soul? Internet has yet to serve me those answers lmao

So it's actually just expensive plastic and doesn't even meet high quality production standards? Requires you to do arts & crafts to preserve them? I must be missing something

That’s one easy way to slip.

Taking them to a cobbler is a much better alternative. If you do a little research on it, they put something on the bottom and it protects the varnish. I’ve heard it costs around 50 bucks and lasts the shoes a lifetime.

Imagine caring about the price of shoe bottom protectors when you're spending all that money on red bottoms.

It has been said that * Christian Louboutin* intended the red to come off....so that you would "paint the town red" wherever you went by leaving little red transfers of paint.

She's actually saving a lot of money. If she did the Amazon precut thing she would spend $360, but now she's spending only $20 saves her $340. As much as the shoes may be pricey for most, she's showing other people who may have a pair of red bottoms, how to affordably protect the sole.

If i’m buying such an expensive pair of shoes to actually wear, i’d want it to actually be sealed properly and good quality instead of just red lacquer🤠

This is something we all needed to know

Some stores also sell rubber protectors for louboutins!! They’re removable & can offer more grip than the paint. When I got my Toundras I took them to Leather Spa and they installed the cover on the bottom & stretched them for me for $130. I still have the sole on my shoes to this day!! Def makes walking in them way easier too.

You have 30 pairs of louboutins but won't pay for pre cut protectors?

I don't have louboutins and probably will never but I can't stop watching these videos

I'm going to do this with all my heels. THANK YOU!!!

What a good idea but if I had to trace the shoes every time they would be covered in pen marks. I think I would make permanent patterns for each shoe out of thin cardboard to prevent this.

If I had that many pairs of Louboutins, I would like to think that I wouldn't be expected to walk anywhere 😂🤷🤪

For the price of those shoes, I expect Fabio to carry me around!

It’s a burning question I was losing sleep over! If I had enough money to waste on one pair I would find something else to spend it on let alone all of them in that closet!

i guess this is what they mean when they discuss hyper consumerism. this is concerning.

*Finally realizing that Louboutins are the 'red bottomed shoes' on songs*

"How do I protect my red bottom from scratching" Um...use a good anti fungal cream mam.

I’d get my butler to do it though. If I could afford that many, I’d also be able to afford a butler..lol Excellent tip. 👍

This is a smart idea and I would use it too. The red of the Louboutin actually looks better glossy

That’s actually a great tip. If one day I could ever afford them I’ll have to remember this lol.

Oh silly me. I thought shoes were made for walking lol

This is a great tip! I took a pair of mine to the cobbler to have them stretched and he gave me these adhesive”pads” that are red. They help add some much needed traction to the bottoms while maintaining that classic red bottom look.

I hate that there’s people commenting so harshly on this video. This is actually great advice for people who may only have one pair of expensive shoes that they use for pretty much every special occasion. This could help you save money even if you don’t use red bottoms. Also we should respect other people doing whatever the fuck they want with their own money, nobody’s telling you to go buy expensive shoes. Grow up.

My local CL store told me to just bring it in and they will resole it.

Part of me wonders if someone has enough money for a closet full of Louboutins, would penny pinching on a roll of 3M adhesive backed polymer film for shoes as opposed to just buying the precut version really even be necessary? At least your tip will help out the person who used their life savings for one pair of red-bottoms though😊.

I like the fact you put another clear on top of it to make it stay visually pretty for a longer period

Those gold stud shoes, very pretty, the heel height is insane.

Imagine having so much money that your only worry in life was scratching the 'red bottoms' of your laboutins 😂🤦‍♀️

Won't vinyl be super slippery now tho?

So many shoes. Looks like a shoe rental, like at a roller rink or bowling alley, but high class! 🤩

I will never worry about shoes like this. Absolute non passionate about it. I’d rather get a single pair of Allbirds and give my money to charity. But hey if you’re passionate about it, go and get all excited with it!✌🏻

I just carry my shoes and walk barefoot, had them for years and the soles are mint.

Fantastic tip! I took a pair of beautiful and expensive shoes to the cobbler to do the same but he did a sloppy job and let the glue drip down to the heel. He then said I brought them in that way…ugh. I wish I would have seen this last year. Thank you so much!

What a smart solution. Good to know. Your Louboutin collection is fabulous. Though uncomfortable in some instances, Louboutins are like a work of art. I’ve always thought it such a shame for the red lacquer to chip so easily, and boy does the shoe bottom look tacky when that happens.

That’s such a good idea I’m going to trying that on some of my heels.

"Ionly spent $20 for this entire roll because saving money is clearly an issue here"

My grandfather made handmade shoes the first task we had when having a new pair of shoes made was to scratch the leather sole so that one didn't slip.

Those golden shoes are gorgeous

Why do you give a shit about saving money on film when you're buying thousand-dollar pairs of shoes ?

This is good to know for the distant future when I'm able to buy a SINGLE pair 😭🤣

People that think outside the box. That is what I love. 🤩❤

I'm in the camp that they are shoes. They are supposed to be walked on, so obviously, the bottoms are going to get scuffed up. If it is this important to keep the bottoms perfect, they shouldn't be worn.

Shoes are to protect your feet, who cares if the bottoms are red or green …people really don’t have nothing else to spend their money on. We have forgotten about humanity

She has to live thousand or more years to wear all these shoes or even to find the occasion for them cuz i am sure she doesn’t wear them doing grocery or going for a walk so its just home decor

For everyone here talking about lack of quality it's is not. It's red leather, so it will scratch off. When it's done, you bring them back and they will put lacquer layer. The of leather sole is gone. So rich ppl just buy it new again if they can afford it. If you don't get the why, it's probably because you are not rich

luckily i’ll never have to worry about this due to me never owning a pair of red bottoms🧍‍♀️

They look so pretty but soooo uncomfortable

You'd think the shoemaker would provide protective covering for the ridiculous prices for those shoes.

I can't imagine having shoes that delicate lol it would stress me out

Tell me you're poor without telling me you're poor

Everyone judging her...but get mad when someone steps on your Jordans

you know watching this video has made me realize how brilliant and low key evil the red bottom marketing thing is. Like its almost designed to get messed up so you want a fresh pair, you know? glad this persons got it figured out though this is brilliant

She's protecting them for longevity and resale value preservation.

george and bertha russell are such a power couple

where do you get your heels i can’t find them anywhere

Someone who can spend 10s of 1000s of dollars on shoes, is concerned about spending too much on their maintenance...that is irony right there...

I do the same with mine, but a word of caution. The vinyl coating makes the shoes MUCH more slippery and you can fall quiteeasily. Before placing the vinyl on the shoe score it with a straight razor or Xacto knife to maintain some grip. Works great!

I can't imagine spending thousands for shoes that don't come with this for free lol. Hell I remember buying timberlands from footlocker and going off on sales person for not giving us the free suade/leather cleaner with brush ! They were only 2-250 back then lol

I love how she is using nail scissors cause they're curved. So innovative.

*FUN FACT: THE RED BOTTOMS ARE AN OCCULTIC SHOUT OUT TO CHILD SACRIFICE YET PPL DON'T GET THE ESOTERIC SYMBOLISM AND THINK IT'S TRENDY*

Put 2 side and also use one strip with texture in the second and you will avoid the indentations as well and get some grip

You can also have a red rubber put on to protect the original paint

Y yo aquí con mis chanclas y mis tenis...😥quiero esos zapatos en mi pared

you really need that many in the same color? or are they all different styles? either way lol

That is genius!!! So smart!!

I looooove Vvivid products!!!! Simply the best

I will never understand people's obsession with purchasing items that don't cost half of what it cost to make them.

They're shoes, they are literally there for that part to scuff the ground and not your feet.

That is so many shoes!!! Honestly I just can't stop thinking now about how many ways I would twist my ankles in those shoes 🥺😰😓😭

These shoes makin ya work

I can’t stomach even knowing the price of these shoes. Hell, I buy all my shit at thrift stores.

do really need 10 pairs of the samee shoes but with like 1 inch differences?

I love your shoes collection ❤❤❤🤩

The heels👠 she was putting protectent on were stunning ! Oh my goodness. The shoes in the background are an investment considering the cost💰 😯
