The Pigalle (pronounced pee-ga-ll), by Christian Louboutin was launched in the Fall/Winter 2004-05 line in Paris. Since then, it has become a favorite of celebrities and fashion lovers alike, and is considered by Louboutin to be his greatest work. Several cousins of the Pigalle have emerged over the year , albeit with slight modifications even though the original design remains the same.

Quick Guide to Sizing Christian Louboutin So Kate and Pigalle Pumps
"Pigalles exhibit significant fit variation compared to both Christian Louboutin and mainstream shoe sizing. Typically the pigalle runs large and most will need to size down from their typical Christian Louboutin size. The vamp of the pigalle is low-cut on both the sides and the front; some toe cleavage will be revealed.
effective heel height: 120mm
wide feet: standard Christian Louboutin size or 1/2 size down
medium feet: 1/2 size down from standard Christian Louboutin size
narrow feet: 1 full size down from standard Christian Louboutin size
Fit Issue Alert: Narrow feet may not be able to wear this style! The low cut of the vamp means this shoe may not stay on very narrow feet as the material simply does not extend high enough to surround the foot sufficiently"
