Renovation of Christian Louboutin New Simple Pump

 

I have not seen any Christian Louboutin Simple Pump nor New Simple Pump rounded toe pumps in 100mm in any store’s online shopping for a while. Normally priced $750 and up.  I wear a Euro 35.

I got these “new” condition worn ones on ebay for $300.00.


The insides look good, the uppers look good.

And here is why they are on ebay.  The Red Soles wear off when you walk on anything but carpet.  These had not been resoled with red rubber, and so they are perfect for my project.

One coat of Angelus Red Sole Paint

Two coats of Red Sole Paint.

And dry.  That looks very good.

One coat Angelus Acrylic Finisher.  I used Normal No. 600.  They also have a High Gloss.

Two coats Angelus Clear Acrylic Finisher (yes, I know the tip isn’t dry yet),  I am very happy with this result.  It will be perfect for a photo shoot at less than half the cost plus $10 of paint and finisher.

And dry.
