Here’s a pair of shoes I never thought Christian Louboutin would come up with – the Super Dombasle patent leather and cork platform sandals. Seriously, Mr. Louboutin, what made you decide to launch such a pair?
Super Dombasle Patent Leather and Cork Platform Sandals
Those platforms are a true statement piece—bold and eye-catching! The chunky design really stands out.
For those curious, the platforms measure 3 inches thick, and the heels reach 6.25 inches high. While the cork material likely keeps them lightweight, they don’t exactly exude elegance.
They could even be dangerous. Walking in a pair requires a lot of care; otherwise, you could end up twisting your ankle. These are from Louboutin’s Spring 2011 Collection. A pair will cost you $595. Would you buy them?

She kept accessories minimal, allowing the statement shoes and dress combination to take center stage. The natural, textured cork of the platforms contrasted nicely with the sleek denim, creating a balanced and fashionable appearance for her arrival at the David Letterman show.

Kim Kardashian styled the Christian Louboutin Super Dombasle cork platform sandals with a chic, strapless khaki romper while out shopping in Miami. She added a pop of color with a bold, orange Juliette Jake clutch, creating an eye-catching contrast to her neutral-toned outfit.

Her ensemble was completed with classic Tiffany & Co. diamond stud earrings and oversized sunglasses, lending a touch of glamour to the casual look. The cork platforms provided height and a trendy statement, enhancing her outfit with a blend of elegance and effortless style.
