Jimmy Choo

This review is solely about this individual Jimmy Choo store. Being a store on 5^th, I would have expected a lot more. A couple floors but it is so tiny! Plus the selection was extremely limited. When you do find a pair that interests you, sizes and availability become harder to find than fresh water in a third world country. Maybe it is just me but when a store is on 5^th ave in NYC I tend to have much higher expectations. The staff however was extremely nice. Since the lady couldn’t find anything here we decided to try Giuseppe Zanotti a million blocks up. The staff was kind enough to even give us their hours and directions.

Had a horrible experience with Corporate, i had to order a certain shoe from online for my finance for christmas online because her size was not instock, So i had to order online, First there based out of london so when i first went to pay it kept getting denied by chase for being out the country, then after we called chase and had them release the purchase, they would not shit to my billing address because it was not listed with out bank! So i could’nt have my wife christmas gift shipped to my job there where forcing me to ship to our home! so i would have to send her christmas gift to the home! where she would recieve it way before christmas, So i said let me cancel my order 2 – 3 buisenss day plus 7 day business days from chase so 15 days to get back my money if i cancelled horrible experience!!!

Yep, I’m a fan!
I got my wedding shoes here and I have to say one of the best shoe experience!
I already knew what I wanted and called in looking for a specific shoe.
I got there and the shoe wasn’t there, but they had it delivered from their other store within a few hours.
I returned, tried it on and loved it. I still wasn’t sure how it would look with my dress and told them my hesitation. The sales rep (can’t remember his name) told me I can purchase, almost like a borrow for 24hrs. If I don’t return, they will charge my card.
I NEVER had service like that in my life and from then I was sold. I bought the shoe and tried it on w/​my dress. It was a killer!!! I decided to keep those babies… I called in to tell them I will be keeping them. They charged my card and gave me a receipt.
No issues whatsoever! I WISH service like that was mandated by all shoe stores LOL. I’d go broke!

Not crazy about this particular store. It’s soo tiny! I mean seriously if your expecting me to pay $ 1,000 and up for a handbag at least have a store that looks worthy of my money.
On to the service:
There was none! I walked in wearing Converses, a hoodie and long North Face jacket (It was freezing outside so I bundled up). I guess they took one look at me and thought I was just another window shopper and didn’t want to waste their time showing me things they «thought» I couldn’t afford. Slightly disgusted by their dirty looks I turned back around and walked out the door.
I spent a total of 10 mins. in the store and only received a hello for one of the associates. It’s a shame cause I actually had my eye on the Farrah handbag: (
Overall: Do I really need to continue…

the boutique is so easy to miss but sales people are very professional and its a very cozy place to shop

I was looking for a perfect pairs of shoes for the holidays and hit the mother load!!! I found an unexpected pair of flesh colored –strappy heels that are not to be believed… The lady that helped me was all too cool and steered me away from a pair that she said did not fit well. She knew her inventory remarkably well.
Love it and will shop there every time I land in NYC

If you’re looking for customer service, DO NOT come here! I love Jimmy Choo shoes and I have typically had wonderful experiences with their sales establishments, but the 645 5^th Ave location is HORRIBLE. If you want to buy a pair of Jimmy Choos, head out to the Short Hills mall store, where the selection is top notch and the service is absolutely wonderful.

Luckily, I skimp over the Jimmy Choo Lance sandals and head straight to the flag store. I found the Tahiti peep toe sandals that was perfect with the dress. A subtle shine that give it a bit of shimmer but would complement the dress. The Lance sandals might had set it off with the flashy gold tone. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the gorgeous straps on the Lance sandals but in the end, the Tahiti sandals stole the show. The staff was great, they were not pushy at all. They assist me with every question and the different styles of shoes that coordinate with certain colors or paired well with jeans.
I never looked at shoes a certain way until I saw what the comotion was with Jimmy Choo. His shoes are not only fabulous but each style and creation is certainly a breath-​taking work of art. I couldn’t believe the amount of pain staking labor and the intense detailing that goes into a pair of his shoes. Christian Louboutins are the IT shoes but Jimmy Choo is beyond sexy, it’s timeless!
I definitely recommend this store to go to for your first pair of Jimmy Choo. And sign up for the exclusive mailing list if your heart is set on a particular pair of heels, pumps, etc. Keep in mind that some require a waiting list!

5 stars for the merchandise, 1 star for the store.
Beautiful shoes and purses… the Ramona is beautiful, in any color, in any material. To die for!
However, the store is so cramped and tiny! I practically had to just stand in place and turn around myself to see the stuff.
Experiences like this just contribute to my distaste for boutique-​shopping. I will never admit this anywhere else, but the American in me loves department stores!
*note: wheelchair accessible? HA! i think not.

Decided to walk into the store when I saw the sale sign and was immediately approached by a salesperson. The store has 2 levels and is really, really small. I immediately went upstairs (away from them) and then realized that there were 4 sales people in the store and I felt a little too much on display so I left without seeing if there really was anything on sale.

One of my mentors said, «I’ll never where platform shoes». (Manolo Blahnik’s were always her first choice.) Regarding the platforms, I understood her point of view and learned the lesson; class and style before trend.

The stylish Jimmy Choo #11 is my first choice, it is perfectly architected and comfortable; it has the perfect 3 ½″ heel and a fair amount of toe cleavage. They are classic and sexy with jeans, slacks, a longer skirt and with a shorter skirt. Each season I hope for a #11 in a new color.

And so began a love affair… not with shoe, but with choo. It was 3 years ago and the end of the summer sales. Markdowns were 75%, so I took the opportunity to stock up on as many pairs as I could carry back to the Peninsula.
I had excellent, unpretentious service in this small boutique. The saleswomen was so sweet. She showed me a trick with the straps of the stiletto to make them more comfortable that Kelly Ripa had used on the same shoe the night before.
I still have all of those gems and now I just need a great cobbler that I can trust to make them look shiny and new!

A boutique so tiny that it’s easy to miss. A boutique so tiny that I felt claustrophobic. Hence the low rating.
If you must have Jimmy Choos, however, & you don’t mind the tight spaces, shop with Aleida Ramirez. She’s very affable & helpful.
Shoes start around $ 400. When I think Jimmy Choos, I think sexy, strappy sandals. Thus, I was surprised to find several flat, closed-​toe models. Also, there are about a dozen different options for white satin, bridal shoes on the second level.
Also available: Boots, purses & small leather goods.

You don’t know a real shoe until you’ve met the Choo.

Shoes shouldn’t cost more than what it would take to feed a small Third World country for a month.

Oh how I love you, Ramona!
I just got my new Jimmy Choo Ramona bag in black after being on the waitlist for months.
Yes, I am a diva couture bag-​aholic.

Hey Ladies… Shoe Lovers… I think Jimmy Choo is comin soon to San Francisco! It should be somewhere near the Bloomingdale’s complex on Market Street near SF Shopping Center… I can’t wait! Will write more when it does finally open!
