Blue Soled Bridal Shoes

Share |

When Event Coordinator Jubilee Lau sent me an image of her client's wedding shoes as a Flirty Idea for "Something Blue" I had NO clue how the search for a source for them would become an all out quest.

Beginning in 2006 there are various blog and forum posts of brides asking, seeking, pleading and searching for where oh where could Christian Louboutin's Tiffany blue soled bridal shoes be purchased. Mr. Louboutin is the genius behind his now internationally famous "red soled" shoe collection. Oddly as I began my quest to track down the blue shoes I caught an episode of Oprah featuring the esteemed designer and his very flirty creations. I took a few photos with my camera for those of you who haven't ever seen his trademarked red soles.

But while red soles are his trademark? The Tiffany blue soles were a one time collection that is no longer avaialble. Coveted doesn't begin to describe the elusive, bordering on mythical, Christian Louboutin blue soled bridal shoes! I read some very sad forum posts by brides who wanted them but were told they were no longer available.

More digging and I found a snippet that the shoes are available, but only by ordering from a Christian Louboutin flagship store with an additional fee. With hope and anticipation I called the salon only to learn that sadly, it wasn't true. Brace yourselves ladies... The CL blue soled bridal shoes are no longer available. *Gasp, gasp, thud!*

But not to worry. I found a place that can create the blue soled shoes of your dreams.

With prices ranging from $55 to $75 you can bring or send in your shoes to The Master Cobbler in San Jose, California and they will turn the plain ol', ho-hum soles of the shoes you've already purchased into the pictured pale blue shade of "something blue!"

The ultra talented staff at The Master Cobbler will make your something blue bridal shoe dream come true. This includes both leather and synthetic soles. They even include a pair of adhesive non-skid pads that can be applied to the soles dyed the same shade of blue.

For East Coast Brides: I later found out from Jubilee that her bride took her shoes to "Shoe Service Plus." This is also the same cobbler shop that the Louboutin flagship store in NYC recommended to me when I contacted them.

Even Christian Louboutin's red soled shoes are a favorite among brides who want to make a fashion statement.

I took this photo on the day I followed along to do a flirty review of A Video Reflection with David Ethridge.

Hi Zuhy,

You can either go in or mail your shoes to The Master Cobbler to have the soles made into any color you want. Just bring in or send them a color swatch along with your shoes. To ship them contact the shop below to make arrangements:

You can also find blue soled shoes by going to www.myglassslipper.com and looking at the Something Bleu line!

The Something Bleu line totally does not have blue soles, I checked. I just bought regular blue shoes.

Jackie, are you kidding? They most definitely do! They have a few that have powder blue soles, none of them are in taste with my lace gown and again, not all of them feature the blue sole, but they DO have them, like this one for example: http://www.myglassslipper.com/wedding-shoes/something-bleu/tell-3626

i think i'd rather get some hot heels then send them into the cobbler and get them vamped up in any shade i want!

What is typically the turnaround time with the Master Cobbler? Is service quick?

The normal turn around time for the blue soled shoes at the Master Cobbler is 2-3 weeks. This allows the shop sufficient time to complete the shoes properly and get them back (shipping them to those who live out of state) to brides in a timely manner.

Do you know of any place in the Seattle Washington area that can do the blue colored sole? Also, I called the Master Cobbler and they only do the light blue color...can't send them a swatch like this website says and get that color :(

Hi Emily,

I'm sorry I don't know of any other cobbler shops that offer the sole dying then the two I've listed here. I did speak to the owner of The Master Cobbler just now and he informed me that the reason they stopped offering "any shade of blue" on the soles is because they were having a problem with the dyes adhering to the bottom of the shoes well. The light blue pictured here seems to be the most durable color when it comes to wear.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I do thank you for letting me know. I didn't realize the shop had changed their policy. The information above is now reflected with the updated information.

I want my something blue to be my entire shoe. I am looking for a sparkly,high heeled, but comfy shoe that I can have the CL Tiffany blue bottom applied. Any suggestions?

Hi Carolina,

There is a thread here:

It is all about DIY'ing flat backed Swarovski Crystals to your shoes to make them sparkle. The example is a pump but you can do this to a strappy shoe as well if you use the right kind of glue.

I spotted this idea on the Wedding Bee Boards which also lists some pricing to purchase the shoes with crystals or to undertake the project as a DIY. You can order blue colored crystals from Swarovski or apply clear crystals to a blue shoe for the sparkling accent. Let me know what you think!
