Christian Louboutin‘s shoes designs have quickly risen in esteem among fashion lovers and (dare I say it) celebrities over the past few years, and while some of his designs are an aquired taste, every so often there’s a pair worth saving for.

These New Simple shoes are made of a taupe flannel, giving a great classic look to a mainstay of shoe design, the round toed stiletto. The almost grey marl shade gives a slightly 1940s edge to a pair that have a modern edge thanks to their towering heel. Perfect for any 40s or 50s retro glamour look.

They’re available now from Matches Fashion online for £375.
