I've adored Jimmy Choo shoes ever since I started wearing them for two key reasons: 1) they’re of the highest quality and 2) they’re easy to wear for long periods. I’m a fan of all kinds of Jimmy Choo silhouettes – from mules to flats to boots to sandals – and each pair is guaranteed to have the wearer feeling confident and cool.

To me, Jimmy Choo shoes are beautiful. Especially Jimmy Choo heels – they’re classic! My favorite pair are these Ivory Satin Jimmy Choo Bing 100 heels I picked up for my elopement in New York City; they’ve been a great investment thus far as I’ve worn them multiple times since the big day. In fact, they’re so timeless, I imagine I’ll still be wearing them in years to come.
How do Jimmy Choo shoes fit?
My advice when purchasing Jimmy shoes would be to size up a full size. I typically wear a US 8 (IT/EU 38), but after using the fit predictor feature on Farfetch, I opted for an IT/EU 39 which was the perfect fit. Sometimes, pointed heels are too narrow for my feet, but these are designed with generous width.
How do you style Jimmy Choo shoes?
My everyday style revolves around a conscious capsule wardrobe of simple, sustainable pieces mixed with a selection of fussy statement pieces. Today, I've styled the Jimmy Choo Bing 100 heels with powder blue satin midi skirt and a brown vintage button-down; and, for my elopement, I wore the heels with Odylyne The Ceremony’s Mini Caspian Dress. If these two examples don’t convince you that these shoes are super versatile, I don’t know what will!
How comfortable are Jimmy Choo shoes?
I usually have low expectations when purchasing a pair of designer heels because I’ve had so many uncomfortable pairs in my life. I’ve always been under the impression that if they’re pretty, they’ll probably hurt. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find Jimmy Choo shoes are super comfortable! I walked all the way across New York City from Central Park to the Marriage Bureau on the day of my elopement in my Jimmy Choo heels and I didn’t have a single blister at the end of the day.
How do you care for your Jimmy Choo shoes?
I always wipe my Jimmy Choo heels with a dry cloth when I’m finished wearing them. If there’s a stain on the heels, I use a damp cloth and some mild soap to dab it away. Once they’re dry, I safely store them in individual dust bags in my closet.

I bought the Jimmy Choo Eshe Hiking boots last winter and they instantly became my go-to shoes.

Not only do these boots look amazing with jeans and leather trousers in winter, but they also pair perfectly with midi skirts and dresses too.
