Red bottom shoes are today considered the top of fashion among fashion conscious women all over the world, thanks to a terrific job done by designer Christian Louboutin, the original designer for these sophisticated pumps. Though they are now obtainable in quite a wide variety of styles, colors and textures, all of them have the characteristic red sole that mark them as a "Louboutin," or red bottom shoe.

Christian Louboutin set out in the early 1990's to produce a line of fashionable footwear that would help any woman look incredibly sexy, with long legs accentuated by his high heel creations, thus bringing very high heels back into fashion after they had all but been forgotten. The red sole pumps have grown to be such a trademark of Christian Louboutin that his business has even filed a patent on the design, so that they cannot legally be copied by anyone else.

Louboutin's shoe designs have won so many prizes in the fashion industry, even climbing to the very top of the Luxury Brand Status Index, a business rating that is extremely respected and sought after inside the fashion business. Red bottom shoes, actually, rose to the top of the "LBSI" (Luxury Brand Status Index) for three consecutive years in a row, a few years ago. This is very unheard of for a line of footwear!

Perhaps due to their extraordinary attractiveness, the so-called red bottom footwear have at times grown to be challenging to obtain at local department stores that carry high end fashion footwear, even in the largest of cities, and especially at a reasonable price. This has led lots of fashion conscious women to search on the net on the web to locate these luxurious shoes... and those seeking the shoes at an affordable price have had no other selection but to look on-line for a reasonably-priced Christian Louboutin shoe.
