Everything about the Sh 179k calf leather Christian Louboutin shoes that President William Ruto owns

During a meeting with Sultan Ahmed Al Jabar, the Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology of the United Arab Emirates, who also heads the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company and chairs Masdar on the sidelines of the World Governments Summit in Dubai on February 12, 2024, Kenya’s President William Ruto wore a pair of shoes costing Sh 178,620.

While burdening Kenyans with new and increased taxes to fund government operations, despite promises of austerity measures during his presidential campaign, Ruto’s lavish wardrobe remains a point of concern. Some Kenyans struggle to afford food, pay bills, and secure jobs while contributing to the government’s expenses, including civil servants’ salaries.

In Dubai, he donned $1,145 brown My Amor W Christian Louboutin Oxford shoes, described by the fashion house as a “sophisticated Oxford shoe.” The Maison Christian Louboutin recommends general leather care for their products, advising customers to keep leather clean and dry, store away from light and heat, protect from rain and moisture, and use the provided dust bag.

President Ruto was previously seen with a Sh 8.7 million rose gold Octo Finissimo Bvlgari watch in Meru County in January 2023. The nearest Bvlgari stores for this watch are located in various international cities.

Before that, he sported a Sh 428,000 ‘SR’ gold buckle crocodile skin belt. The president’s expensive wardrobe choices have drawn criticism given the economic challenges faced by many Kenyans.
