CSD is the UK’s leading destination for pre-owned Christian Louboutin shoes and authenticated red bottom shoes. Every pair of red bottom heels in our edit is verified genuine in London and priced at up to 70% below RRP. The lacquered red sole is Louboutin’s signature — and the single most counterfeited detail in luxury footwear — which is why every pair we list is authenticated in-house before it ever reaches the site. One of a kind, available until it sells, with worldwide shipping on every order.
Red Bottom Shoes & Red Bottom Heels — The Louboutin Signature
The red bottom shoes story is one of the most recognisable in modern fashion. Christian Louboutin first painted a sole red in 1992, reaching for an assistant’s red nail varnish to finish a prototype, and the lacquered red sole — Pantone 18-1663 TPX, trademarked and defended in courts worldwide — has been the house’s defining mark ever since. When buyers search for red bottom heels, red bottom shoes, or red sole heels, they are searching for Louboutin. At CSD, that search lands on authenticated, pre-owned pairs sourced from London wardrobes — not on a marketplace where private sellers self-certify.
Because the red sole is so widely faked, red bottom shoes are exactly where authentication matters most. Genuine Louboutin soles show a specific lacquer finish, a precise red tone, correct font and spacing on the embossed branding, and sole stamping consistent with the production year. Our in-house specialists assess every one of these markers on every pair before listing. For anyone asking where to buy authentic red bottom heels in the UK: CSD is a physical London consignment boutique with in-house authentication, not a peer-to-peer app.
Pre-Owned Christian Louboutin Shoes — The Icons
Our preloved Louboutin edit spans the styles that defined the house. The So Kate — a 120mm stiletto with an ultra-pointed toe — is the most requested pump in resale, alongside its lower-cut sibling the Pigalle and the rounded-toe Pigalle Follies. The Kate and Hot Chick carry the same elongated silhouette in slightly more wearable proportions, and across the range these Christian Louboutin pumps remain the most consistently requested format in resale. For platforms, the Daffodile and Lady Peep remain collector favourites, while the Bianca offers a concealed platform pump that has stayed in demand across more than a decade.
Beyond the classic pumps, our second hand Christian Louboutin shoes include the half-d’Orsay Iriza, the studded Pik Pik and Spike styles, the Rolando and Decollete court shoes, and seasonal espadrilles, sandals, ankle boots and flats. Heel heights run from 70mm kitten heels to the full 120mm stiletto. Every pair is documented with true UK, US and EU sizing, a defined condition grade, photographs of the sole and any specific wear, and the original box where available. Used Christian Louboutin shoes at CSD are described as they are — the description is the contract.
Christian Louboutin Second Hand — Why Consignment, Not Marketplace
When you buy Christian Louboutin second hand through a consignment boutique, your counterparty is a business that stakes its name on every piece — not an anonymous private seller. On a marketplace, if a pair is misdescribed or inauthentic, recourse is limited. At CSD, the seller is CSD; the authentication is CSD’s. That is why buyers searching for second hand Christian Louboutin shoes and used Christian Louboutin shoes increasingly come to consignment after being disappointed by peer-to-peer platforms.
Our Louboutin stock rotates continuously. Because these are one-of-one consignment pieces sourced from real London wardrobes, there is no restock — when a pair sells, it is gone. That scarcity is the nature of authenticated luxury resale, and it is why the page you are looking at reflects live, current stock rather than a warehouse catalogue.
Vintage Louboutin Heels & Archive Styles
Vintage Louboutin heels at CSD are authenticated against era-specific construction markers — sole stamping format, insole branding font, heel construction and lacquer finish consistent with the production year. Archive pairs from earlier seasons — discontinued colourways, limited-edition collaborations, and styles no longer in production — arrive through London consignors whose collections span multiple decades. For collectors, vintage Louboutin in authenticated condition is increasingly difficult to find, and the London consignment market is one of the strongest sources for it anywhere.
Cheap Louboutin Heels — Authenticated, Below Retail
Searching for cheap Louboutin heels or red bottom heels cheap does not have to mean compromising on authenticity. Every pair at CSD is priced permanently below retail — often by 50–70% — because pieces come from private owners rather than brand distribution. The difference between CSD and a discount marketplace is that our below-retail pricing comes with full in-house authentication and accurate, honest condition grading. Affordable Louboutin at CSD means genuine pairs at consignment prices, not bargains of uncertain provenance.
Our condition grades are defined and applied consistently: Never Worn, With Tag for unworn pieces retaining their original hangtag; Never Worn for unused pairs without tag; Very Good for lightly worn, extremely well-maintained pairs with only slight, documented wear; Good for worn but well-kept pairs with any defects noted; and Fair for frequently worn pairs whose wear is fully described and photographed. Every grade maps to a defined standard, so a pair of red bottom heels graded Very Good means the same thing every time.
How CSD Authenticates Every Pair of Louboutins
Authentication is the core of the CSD model, and for Louboutin it is non-negotiable. Each pair is physically inspected in London by our in-house specialists, who assess the red sole lacquer and tone, the embossed branding font and spacing, the insole stamping, the heel and toe construction, the stitching regularity and the box and dust-bag where present. Pairs that cannot be confirmed genuine are returned to the consignor — never relisted at a lower price, never sold with a caveat. If it cannot be authenticated, it does not list.
This standard applies regardless of price point. A pair of used Christian Louboutin shoes listed at £200 receives the same physical assessment as a pair at £900. That consistency is what buyers searching for authentic Christian Louboutin at below-retail pricing are looking for, and it is the CSD standard on every single pair.
Louboutin Sizing & Fit
Christian Louboutin shoes are known to run small and narrow, particularly the pointed-toe stilettos like the So Kate and Pigalle, which many buyers size up by half a size or more. Every CSD listing gives the labelled size in UK, US and EU conversions, along with insole measurements where relevant, so you can buy second hand with confidence. If you are between sizes or unsure, our team can advise on the specific fit of an individual pair before you purchase — one of the advantages of buying from a boutique that physically holds every item rather than from a marketplace that does not.
Buy & Sell Pre-Owned Louboutin at CSD
If you are looking to sell rather than buy, CSD accepts Christian Louboutin shoes on consignment from private sellers across the UK. Authentication, professional photography, listing and worldwide shipping are handled for you, and you receive payment when the pair sells. Pairs that do not pass authentication or meet our condition threshold are returned, not relisted — the same standard we apply to everything we sell.

Christian Louboutin Trainers & Sneakers
Beyond the heels, Louboutin trainers have become one of the house’s most sought-after categories in resale. Our pre-owned edit includes the low-top Louis Junior and Vieira styles, the high-top Louis spikes sneaker, and the slip-on Spike Sock — each finished with the signature studs and the red sole that defines the brand. Christian Louboutin trainers carry the same red lacquered outsole as the heels, and the same counterfeiting risk, so every pair is authenticated in-house against stud placement, leather grain, sole stamping and stitching before it lists. For buyers searching Louboutin trainers or Louboutin sneakers at authenticated below-retail pricing, CSD’s consignment edit is one of the strongest sources in the UK, with men’s and women’s spike styles arriving through London consignment continuously.
Christian Louboutin Boots & Sandals
Christian Louboutin boots are a core part of the CSD edit, spanning sharp ankle boots, over-the-knee styles, and the studded Boots and Capahutta formats that pair the red sole with statement hardware. Heeled and flat constructions both appear, authenticated against the same red-sole and construction markers as the rest of the collection. Whether you are searching for pointed-toe Louboutin ankle boots or a heeled knee-high, each pair is documented with true sizing, condition grade and sole photography.
Louboutin sandals complete the warm-weather end of the edit — from the strappy Rosalie and Choca styles to studded gladiator and espadrille-wedge formats. Like every piece at CSD, these Christian Louboutin sandals are one of one, authenticated in London, and priced permanently below retail. New pairs across boots, sandals and trainers are added as they arrive through consignment, so the selection reflects current live stock rather than a fixed catalogue.
Red Sole Shoes — Authenticity & the Trademark
The term red sole shoes is now effectively synonymous with Christian Louboutin, and that is no accident: the house holds a registered trademark on the red lacquered sole, upheld in courts across multiple jurisdictions. For buyers, that means a genuine pair of red sole shoes or red bottom shoes carries a specific, verifiable red tone, a precise lacquer finish, and sole branding consistent with the production year — details that counterfeit red bottom heels reliably get wrong. CSD authenticates every one of these markers on every pair, which is why buyers searching for guaranteed-genuine red sole heels at consignment prices choose a London boutique with in-house verification over a self-certifying marketplace.
