Just a heads up, the best way to protect red bottoms is to take your shoes to a professional cobbler and have a rubber sole placed on the shoe. Not only does it keep the soles red, but it makes the shoes less slippery (and easier to walk in) Runs about $40, but well worth the investment.

Stop counting someone else's coins. It makes perfect sense to preserve the bottom of the shoe. The paint scratches off quickly. Those shoes are not cheap. If you can't afford them then don't worry about it. Payless, Shoe Dazzle, Shoe Carnival and DSW have sales going on right now. smh.

why ya'll so mad about how much she spending on shoes? It aint your money. people just always hating for no reason. stupid.

Very helpful video. I don't even own any red bottoms yet but when I do this is a great tip! I'm sure this would be helpful for other shoes too!

BRILLIANT!!!!! I DONT WEAR THEM OUT I PLACE MY SHOES IN MY TOTE THEN PUT THEM ON WHEN I GET TO MY DESTINATION. I MAKE IT A HABIT TO ONLY WALK ON CARPET. NOT FOR DANCING. IM A PRACTICAL DIVA.

Do you know if this method ruins the paint if the protector is peeled off?

Hi Megz, I just saw that someone already asked the same question I had previously wrote... You answered the question about slips . Thank you!!!!! Great video!!!

I honestly have No idea why I watched this.. Knowing DAMN WELL I'm not about to spend that much on no shoes so my lil $30 heels don't need this lol. Good idea though Megz :)

hi I just want to know if the screen protector is 100% safe. when it's time to replace the clear screen protector and you peel it off will the red paint come off with it? and how do u remove the screen anyway?

I love the so Kate's and pigalles the most from louboutin

Hi, thanks for the turorial, can I change the protector to a new one when they get dirty or wear off? I heard you're not supposed to once they go on.. Thank you

This is why I love you Meg!! Purchasing my first pair of CL's this week and i swore I was going to find some tape or SOMETHING to protect the red sole.. I mean that really bothers me when they're all scuffed up.. I didn't even think to use a screen protector lol Thanks girl.. I knew I wasn't the only one! 👀

Hey Megz, I love this ideal of yours because I to have red bottom shoes and I was just waiting on this review thank you so much!💋💖

Girl when I tell you this is beyond creative. I'd have never thought to do this. Thanks for the tip!!!

I don't own any red bottoms, but I love to take care everything that I own, this tip comes in handy. And to those who comment on the price of the shoes saying that it's stupid to buy a pair of shoes for that price needs to shut up because if she work hard for her money she's entitle to spend it the way she please if you have a problem with that then your a natural ass! And besides that you didn't even had to watch the video! That's my two cents..

This is legitimately such a good idea, especially if you want to resale.

This is such a great idea!! Thanks for sharing. And i LOOOOVE the So Kate's!! They're gorgeous.

Great idea. I will def do this with my new C L that I purchase from here on out. Did it make the shoe slippery on carpet.?

I have a question -- what can you do to protect suede CL pumps? The liquid spray will ruin the suede if it gets on there. I can't tape the sides of the suede without ruining it a bit either.

Are the shoes slippery to walk in After application, and how do you remove the shield when you are ready to resell without peeling the original sole?

Awesome tutorial. I wish I saw this before I wore my red bottoms for the first time haha does the protector come off easily without damaging the paint Id you ever need to take it off?

Does this work with sneakers? I got them louboutin louis junior low black calf. Havent unboxed em yet, but I dont want to mess up the soles

lol megz i give you sooooooo much credit for taking the time to respond to these trolls. but kudos to being really polite and killing them with kindness!

Hi just wanted to know if you have tried to remove the protector after a few wears? Can you do an update video showing your removal experience, please? Would like to know if it removes the paint. Do you have to replace the covers of so how often?

Thanks. Great job. I was thinking of painting my red bottom soles with clear polish. This is better route to take!

Thank you for this! I was overjoyed to get a pair as an anniversary gift, sadly my red wore off quite a bit, so I will resole them, but the next pair- (oh yes there will be a "next pair" ) I will totally do this!

Hey, have you tried removing/replacing the screen protector? Did it damage the red at all? 👠💃

Please what size did you get for the screen protector for example the ipad air or pro?? and which option did you chose when purchasing it for example there is a chose of standard screen/ back, back or standard screen? Please reply as I want to ensure I am buying the correct protector. Thank you :)

are the shield spray purchased seperately or did it come in a package along with the Invisible Shield? Just trying to get the Invisible Shield on Ebay however alot of the listings did not specifiy whether or not the spray is included thanks in advance!!

When you take the protector off does the red come off with it, or is it easy to remove?

the opening things struggle is always real!! 😂😂 but great tips! one day when the good Lordt blesses me with my red bottoms I'm gonna put screen protectors on them 😁😁

Hi, I am wondering...what is the spray? How do you make the TPU stick on the bottom?

Hi! It’s been a few years since you’ve posted.. how long did the protector last? And what do you do once it gets dirty, since you said it will peel the red off if you try to take it off. Also is it slippery??

That is very neat, I would like to use that technique on my shoe, where can I get that protective film

What an awesome idea... I am thinking to get the Topy overlay done to the bottom of mines. Either way hun love the video. Keep doing what you do... :)

Omg thank you so much for this video it just helped me out a lot.. I just purchased my first pair of red bottoms and didn’t want my paint to scratch yet thanks again!

What an awesome idea! Does the screen protector make the shoe slippery when walking on certain surfaces like wood or tiles?

Great idea and tutorial!!! Does it also prevent slipping too?

Any recommendations on keeping insides clean? The where the bottom of the foot goes

Is it slippery on tile and wood flooring??

Have u made a bedroom tour video yet? I also would like to c ur twin!

Love it Megz. Can you use a protector that already has adhesive?

I will be using that method soon on all my name brand hills thanks Megan

What a smart idea!!!

I will be doing mine. I have the black so Kates in suede. Haven't worn yet because didn't want to mess up the soles... thanks megz☆☆☆

Are you able to remove the shields and reapply them? Or does it peel off the red sole?

Yyyyeess so helpful 👏👏👏

Seems like it would be easier on a counter top or hard surface to press down and maybe studier with contact paper or something meant for more wear and tear

I don't have red bottoms, but I got these school loans though lol ;( Good tips though.

I think it is a great tip. What insole do you purchase. I've been trying all different kinds and I find my feet hurt more with the insole. HELP!

Yasssss! My mans says this is so innovative! Lol thanks girl!

Megz girl that's a great idea thanks for sharing.

Where did u got the clear pad...what go inside of your toe shoes?

Hi dear what spray did you use ? And why did you use it ? Please answer I need to protect my shoes before wearing them . Thanks

Good idea, much better than the other idea of repainting it LOL.

I wonder if it would have been easier to place the shoes on the protection screen trace it cut it out and then apply it to shoe. That would avoid cutting and I know i would be the one who nicked my shoe with the scissors.

Great idea. Thank you for sharing.

What a good idea..love this...

Have you ever thought about using vibram soles? They have grips on them. And if you're concerned about reselling them down the line, I don't think the bottoms are the #1 thing buyers who are Louboutin lovers or collectors care about. They know the color is going to wear off the bottom regardless of what protector you use because its a normal wear. The real judge of the quality(depending on the shoe) is the sole and the leather lining.

You can also use clear packaging tape it is a very inexpensive option and works well i did this anytime i bought shoes and planned on returning them

Does it make the bottom slippery to walk in?

Great video....for the day I can afford those shoes.....great tips

Beautiful shoes Megan and this is a great idea. :)

What are those inserts called that you got from Target? The clear ones. I need the name of them. Did you cut them at all?

Great tip and idea.

Great stuff! Good to know. Thanks for sharing.:)

How do you protect your heel???

Megz where can I buy a pair?

have any shoes to sell?

Did this make your shoes slippery? Also have you tried to replace the shield?

Megz love love your videos, gal , we work hard for this high end or whatever we buy ,some of us appreciate your hard work to give advice and ideas on these videos, gal I have been following you for 2years before knowing I had to subscribe, but trust me my husband like my makeup thanks to Megz,all negative comments ignore hone, we love you all the way from Canada

That is so clever!

Innovative idea!

Great idea.

Please do a tutorial on your hairFinity update

Good idea!!!

thx... i know this is old but good info still. plz update

Damn I will have to get mine repainted to do this to all of my shoes not just my Loubs. Anything I paid over $300 for. But they make a red bottom shoe protector online and at the Loub shoe doctor leather store. Planned on purchasing when I got mine repainted but this might be cheaper.

cool video , you should check out the way we protect red bottoms

Great idea

Take them to the shoe doctors and have them put a red rubber bottom on it. They will last much longer and it's the same price as the screen protector your buying

I just have a quick question have you found anything to make your Loubs easier on the feet? Mine are very uncomfortable I love them but they hurt sooooo bad😔

I wouldn't worry about the bottom of my shoes.they're supposed to get worn.u can still tell the color of the bottoms in the arch area,where the shoe elevates your foot.protecting the bottoms is ridiculous,IMHO.

Thanks for the video Megan. I was looking on purse forum for a way to preserve the sole and this seemed to be the preferred way but their was only one video and it wasn't as informative as yours.

Any updates Meg?

This is genius!

Would you say that they fit true to size?

my hat off to you soon good of an idea.

Love!!!

Hi Megz, how comfortAble the shoes are?

Nice! On your nails do a black top and red on under side

Good idea

Brilliant

Louboutins I love the look of my 7 pairs of Louboutin, but after anywhere from 2 to 4 wearings them the red sole under my foot gets damaged, and I have to smothered out the soles and repaint them, which is not cheap the alternative is to find a store I ship mine to NYC where they can glue on a not so very pretty red sole protector that is a bit off color and with fedex shipping both ways and insuring $800'to $1200'shoes or boots it gets costly! The shoe are made to be gorgeous but in the 140,150 and 160 mm heels are KMDFM shoes and even though I never wear under 4 inch heels for last 25 plus years they are not the most comfortable, which is why I like my platform Louboutins the most! My black Highness 160 are killer! In non plats I like CL 130mm Hot Wave peep toe. In platform booties the 160 platform CL Miller. In the knee boots the 140mm plats are Bianca in black. My only real complaints against Louboutins is that they cost any too much and the Gorgeous Red sole start to look bad after. A very few wearing A diy repaint/ dye of the sole or you send to NYC FedEx or USPS and insure them and wait for them to fix the soles or have a not so pretty over sole that is not perfect color or there are DIY clear strips to protect the sole to a degree. I have So Kate, Pigalle, Very Prive and Lady Peep, as well as my red sole boots,Def Booty, and the Botalili tall boots ( knee high) Here is where you can get the correct color to redo the soles. Angelus Walk on red bottom coat & Restorer Http://Angelusdirect.com/products/ angelus-walk-on-Red

I am in live with the so.kates but i.need a platform

Or you can trace the outline of the shoe on the protecter then cut it.

The spray is NOT a glue it is a soapy water to help you position it correctly before you squeeze it down smoothly! That and you Cut it over size before you peel it off the backing and wetting it!

Love

You smartttt lol no but this was ingenious !

It won't last especially on rough surface, its best to see a cobbler specialized in designer shoes.
