EnglishWhat to Know Before Buying Shoes from Lucky Lou Shoes
Updated
Lucky Lou Shoes sells hand-carved footwear and matching accessories, with visible prices starting at $180 for the Boom Boom wedge and $285 for the Diablo Maxi Heel. If you want an original, non-mass-produced retro or modern shoe and are comfortable with the higher price and longer wait that hand-carving implies, this brand is worth a look. If you need a specific size fast, or you want shipping costs and production timelines confirmed before you pay, you will have to ask the seller directly — the site does not state those details.
What the brand actually is
Lucky Lou Shoes is the label behind the designs of LouLou von Hochtritt. The site describes the catalog as "high-end, hand-carved shoes and accessories for any retro or modern outfit," and states that all items are original, copyrighted Lucky Lou and LouLou von Hochtritt designs. The homepage repeats the same claim in plain terms: "Everything is hand-made. Nothing is mass-produced."
That matters for a buying decision in two ways. First, you are buying a design you will not find as a mass-market copy. Second, handmade production usually means limited stock per style and a fulfillment process that is not instant — though the site itself does not publish a production or shipping timeline.
Collections you can browse
The homepage lists these collections as entry points into the catalog:
- Opium Collection — by LouLou von Hochtritt
- Diablo Collection — by LouLou von Hochtritt
- Wild Nobility Zebra Collection
- Rockin' Tiki
- Souvenir Accessories
- Cherry Blossom
- Cabana Collection — by LouLou von Hochtritt
- Boom Boom and Ilze Wedge Collection
- GlitterFang Collection
Beyond shoes, the brand also lists Lucite and Fakelite bracelets, purses, and accessories, so a single order can cover a full outfit rather than just footwear.
Visible prices and what they tell you
The page evidence shows only a few prices, but they are enough to set expectations:
| Item | Description | Listed price |
|---|---|---|
| Boom Boom | Hand-carved wood wedge shoes, Opium Collection, black suede and zebra | $180.00 |
| Diablo Maxi Heel | 4" hand-carved wood heels, red leather and black suede | $285.00 |
Two things follow from this. Price varies by collection and by material — leather and suede styles sit higher than the wedge. And the gap between $180 and $285 is wide enough that you should check the price on the specific style you want rather than assuming a single brand-wide figure.
Note also the checkout line on the Diablo listing: "Shipping calculated at checkout." Shipping is not included in the listed price and is not shown until checkout, so budget for it separately.
What the site does not tell you
Before ordering, these are the gaps you should close with the seller:
- Sizing and fit. No size chart or fit guidance appears in the visible page content. For hand-carved wood heels and wedges, fit is not something to guess at.
- Production and delivery time. Handmade, non-mass-produced items often ship on a made-to-order basis, but no timeframe is published here.
- Return and exchange policy. Not stated in the available content.
- Stock status per style. With handmade runs, a style shown on the site may not be immediately available.
A practical way to decide
- Pick the collection that matches the outfit you have in mind, then open the specific style rather than judging from the collection name.
- Read the material line carefully — the same silhouette can appear in leather, suede, or zebra finish at different prices.
- Note the listed price, then add shipping at checkout before comparing it to any alternative.
- Contact the seller about size, production time, and returns before you pay, since none of these are published.
- If you need the shoes by a fixed date, get the timeline in writing first — handmade production is the main reason a deadline could slip.
The short version: buy here for an original hand-carved design and accept that price, shipping, and lead time are all things you confirm rather than assume.
