Charles Jourdan heels are quickly rising to the top of my favorites list, for their striking beauty and surprising comfort. Each shoe in the Charles Jourdan footwear collection is a stunning work of art. For example, my latest acquisition is Kiona, a timeless pump updated with the Charles Jourdan sky-high heel and pointed almond toe.
The first thing I notice when taking Kiona out of the box is the chunky wrapped heel, and I hurry to slip them on and stand 5 1/2 inches taller! I know from my other Charles Jourdan pumps that the substantial (1.5 inch) platform and pillow-soft insole take a lot of the sting out of the high heel. Yes, they take some time to get used to (practice walking in the mirror), but that’s no different than any other heel.
Next thing that catches my eye is the sultry low-cut vamp and side step. The seductive cut of the shoe sets it apart from your average black pump! And Kiona isn’t just a pretty shoe; it is made of the finest materials, including leather lining and sole, and smooth leather upper.
The Charles Jourdan Kiona will be my go-to power pump for when I want to feel particularly fierce and in-charge. Who could possibly stand in my way when I square off with them wearing these?!
Thanks to Mantimidation Boutique for gifting me these fabulous pumps for review! You can purchase your own pair of the Charles David Kiona in bronze leather for a discounted price of $123 (retail price = $242).
