If you’re looking to stand tall and feel feminine in a pair of high-quality heels, consider your search complete. Attending the 2024 Gold Gala earlier this month, Cynthia Erivo stepped out in the secret weapon stylists are using to give their clients a height boost on red carpets: Jimmy Choo’s Max 150 platform sandals. And today, you can channel the “Wicked” actress in the suede version of these stunning heels, which are on sale for 40 percent off on Jimmy Choo’s website.
Set on a chunky platform with a slim ankle strap, the Max 150 sandals boast a whopping 5.9 inches in height with a pencil-thin stiletto. The platform lessens strain on your feet despite the sky-high silhouette and the ankle strap keeps your foot secure through the entire evening: Despite their intense height, they’re equal parts comfortable and eye-catching. A peep toe rounds out the look, offering a further way to add a pop of color by way of a contrasting pedicure à la Erivo.
As of late, Jimmy Choo’s Max 150 sandals are having a moment, seen on other celebrities including Anya Taylor-Joy and Zendaya at the Oscars (Law Roach is no stranger to pairing an it-girl and a high, high heel), Kelsea Ballerini, and Jessica Chastain. Stylists like Maeve Riley have also gone on the record to sing praises of these heels — the consensus is that they’re incredible for elongating the look of the leg and aren’t too tricky to walk in.
With 10.4 million videos on TikTok, the Max 150 sandals aren’t just for the red carpet — shoppers are loving them, too. It’s a must-have shoe for any upcoming events, whether you want to elongate your legs and pair them with shorter dresses, or use them when wearing midi dresses (especially if you’re petite!), the Max 150 sandals are ideal. Available in multiple colors and on sale in suede, you’ll want to act fast to grab a pair before your size sells out.
