The "Red Bottom" Craze

Oh, the beautifully infamous, long lusted after, Christian Louboutin "Red Bottoms"! A statement piece on their own with their unique, stand-out red, classy and stylish soles. The red bottoms are not only a fashion statement but a statement of wealth and status. A simple, classy stiletto, like the one below, will cost you $700. The prices on my go up from there as the shoes get more artistic, the prices get increasingly higher.

We all remember those fabulous shoes (see below) that Christina Aguilera wore on the film Burlesque which were given to her by one of the club's VIP. Those beautiful masterpieces are worth $2,000! Needless to say, Christian Louboutin's fabulous fashion designs are only made for the wealthy or perhaps those with expensive taste in shoes. Most consumers aren't looking to spend more than $100 on the high end for a pair of shoes. 

Christina Aguilera's Shoes in Burlesque

While some of these shoes are remarkable, unless you are going to many fancy dinner parties and red carpet events like Christina Aguilera, then you probably wouldn't get much use for them. As for some of their other designs, like their classic stilettos, boots and flats, you can find many options that you can wear on a regular basis, it all depends on what you are looking for. If you are like many consumers, you are probably not looking to fork out more than $100 on shoes. However, if you are a female entrepreneur looking to make a statement, the "red bottom" is always one way to turn heads. 

So my questions to you today are; How much have you ever spent on a pair of shoes? How much would you ever spend? How much do you think is too much?
