Hello Rugged Glam-ers! I came across this new Fall/Winter color for the 2016 Louboutin Collection and simply fell in love. The Iriza pumps are a beautiful half d’Orsay pump that come in various sizes and colors. Like any Rugged Glam-er, I went for the highest spike available – that is the 120mm (5 inch) heel. These beautiful heels retail for $745 before tax.
Sizing: You should go with your Italian true to size for the best fit – noting that this heel is also a patent leather heel so expect it to be snug when first wearing it. It will break in after a few wears.
For any Rugged Glam-ers purchasing your first pair of Loubis, I recommend purchasing these in a size up from your U.S. true to size – in other words – if you are a size 9 in Nine West heels, then order a size 40 Italian with these Louboutins, and so on.
My experience: I tried to find my size in these heels on the website but they were already sold out of most sizes. I wanted them so badly that I just went up a half size. To prevent slipping, you can add a cotton ball (or two) in the front and a rubber insert. I’ll post a video on my YouTube Channel on Louboutin sizing and fit hacks 🙂 I think as long as they are in range, you can make any Louboutin fit!

I have also posted a video review of the Iriza VS the So Kate VS the Pigalle Follies. I hope it will help you decide on your purchase. Also, it will mean so much if you could please like/share/subscribe to my channel to help me grow. Thank you for being so supportive xoxo!
Anyway, I hope you are all having a wonderful day and thank you for stopping by to visit my blog. Please help me grow by liking/sharing, etc. Also, if you haven’t already entered into the Louboutin Giveaway, please go ahead and do that – the deadline at the end of this month is quickly approaching! Good luck and happy shopping Rugged Glam-ers!
Much Love,

I’m normally a sz 40 or 40.5 in so Kate. How did you fare on sizing? I’m tempted to order these in 40.5 because that’s all I can find but not sure if they’re going to fit how my so Kates fit.
Hi Nicole! i’d recommend you get the same as your so kate size (40) but that said – I think either option would be fine if all you can find is a half size larger. The exact same thing happened to me. The 40 would be my first choice since it’s the same heel as the so kate (only difference is it’s a d’orsay cut and is “roomier” than a So Kate on the side – width wise) – you can make a 1/2 size larger work. They’re exactly the same which is why i think you can’t go wrong with either if a 40.5 so kate fits you well too. I had an issue ordering a half size larger in mine and my feet were slipping (i wore nylons with them for work when that happened) – but I have since stopped wearing nylons with them and used a heel insert to prevent heel slippage and those work great. You’ll love these heels! Happy shopping, ~RGxx
