Woman finds pair of Louboutins at Goodwill. She looks at the price tag—and can’t believe her luck: ‘My goodwill would…charge at least $200’
Louboutins are arguably the most luxurious and sought-after shoes on the market, but one Goodwill customer got a heck of a deal for them. They managed to snag the usually eye-wateringly expensive shoes for just $10—leaving fellow TikTok users stunned.
Set to Madonna’s ‘Vogue,’ Azriel (@azriel_bradley16) held up the black heels with the iconic red underside to the camera. The shoes were in good condition. They had what appeared to be a Goodwill sticker marked as $10 attached to it.
Accompanying the clip was the video description in which Azriel simply said: “I won.”

‘Sometimes I have to remember envy is a sin’
In the comments, users couldn’t believe what they were seeing. “My Goodwill would ziptie these to the wall behind the counter and charge at least $200,” one wrote. “Sometimes I have to remember envy is a sin,” another complained. While a third admitted that they were “like literally actually mad.”
However, alongside those more envious TikTokers, there were those who questioned whether this was all too good to be true.
“I’m pretty sure if Goodwill gets high end items, I think they get them price checked to see if they’re real or fake and price that way for resell,” a fourth noted. “Someone I know told me this so don’t come at me just what I have been told!”
“No way those are obviously some knock offs,” a fifth predicted. While a sixth took a more even ground, adding, “Even if they are fake get them I never see somebody wearing Louboutin‘s and think they are fake.”
How can you tell if Louboutins are real?
According to Real Authentication, there are a couple of ways of telling whether or not your Louboutins are real.
Firstly, when it comes to looking at the logo, it must be clear and crisp. It should have “minimal” spacing between the ‘C’ and the ‘h’ and no space between the ‘L’ and the ‘o’.
Secondly, the stitching and craftsmanship are usually impeccable. So look out for any shoddy work, as this could be a sign. In addition to this, the soles are usually a “vibrant” red made of leather, while fakes will have plastic or resin soles.
Authentic Louboutins pop up at T.J. Maxx
Goodwill isn’t the only store Louboutins have ended up at. TikToker Dahlia (@dahl.x) previously went viral after sharing how she found some authentic-looking Louboutins at the retail outlet.
However, there is one big difference between these shoes and the ones at Goodwill: over at T.J. Maxx, the shoes were priced at $470.
While Dahlia didn’t end up buying the shoes, she did impart some advice on where to find them — by going to where “middle aged white women” live.
