WHEN BUYING MEN'S SHOES, STICK TO CLASSICS

BYLINE: BY EMILY SHARTIN, GLOBE STAFF

SECTION: BUSINESS; Pg. D 2

LENGTH: 503 words

An eager fan watches as the women's shoe designer Christian Louboutin uses markers to decorate a pair of his own platform wedge-heeled espadrilles with peace signs, hearts and images of the sun.
He is in Boston for a stop on his "shoe signing" tour, meeting customers at Barneys New York and putting his own individual mark on their favorite Louboutin designs.
The shoes on Christian Louboutin's own feet are a pair of narrow linen canvas lace-ups by the Belgian designer Dries Van Noten, but to him the name doesn't necessarily matter. Despite his comfortable berth in the world of fashion his shoes are worn by actresses such as Nicole Kidman and Catherine Deneuve the designer says he is "not a label person" and claims to shop mostly when it's convenient.
Customers have become as fanatical about Louboutin's high-priced shoes as they are about those of other famous designers such as Manolo Blahnik. Louboutin's whimsical designs feature a signature red sole, a trademark he stumbled upon after using a colleague's nail polish to add color to his creations.
But Louboutin describes his taste in men's shoes as "classic," tending toward simple styles that ultimately fade into the background. He doesn't, for instance, like wearing black shoes with light-colored clothes.
"A shoe should be able to appear and disappear," he says.
While women have been known to keep closets full of shoes, Louboutin believes men can begin with about four basic pairs to wear with jeans or suits: two pairs of lace-up shoes perhaps one in brown suede and one in black leather and two pairs of loafers. He is not generally a fan of sneakers.
Louboutin, who has only designed a handful of shoes for men, tends to stay away from thick soles and "clunky" styles. Longer, narrower styles, he notes, can make smaller feet look larger. For a tuxedo, he would choose a simple patent leather style with thin soles.
"If a shoe is dressy it should be really well-proportioned," he says.
Louboutin recommends making an investment of as much as $500 in christian louboutin shoes so they will last. The NPD Group, a market research firm based in Port Washington, N.Y., reports that men spent $10.4 billion on fashion footwear during the year ended in April 2006, up about 13 percent the previous year. Men spend about $43 for a pair of shoes, and about $75 for dress shoes.
Louboutin is not all basic browns and blacks. As he surveys the racks at Barneys, he throws in a few unusual choices among the classic looks he prefers a pair of Converse All-Stars in light blue seersucker, for instance, and sandals that have an ethnic feel.
Louboutin estimates he owns 100 pairs of shoes, but says he will collect four or five pairs of the same style. It's practical advice that he shares with those who might be less than enthusiastic about shoe shopping.
"Clearly for men, quality really matters," he says. "Stick to a good pair, and you don't have to think about it anymore."
