Jimmy Choo Kitten Heels: Every Style at 50 mm and Under

Jimmy Choo kitten heels are the house’s pumps, slingbacks and mules at 50 mm and under, led by the Scarlett 50, the Amel 50, the Amita 45 and the 35 mm Amelia, with the height written into each style name. Of the 131 Jimmy Choo heels at Coveti, 34 sit at 50 mm and under, and you will find them in our designer heels edit. If you need a taller pump for evening, compare our guide to Jimmy Choo pumps.

What counts as a kitten heel at Jimmy Choo?

A kitten heel is a short, slim heel, usually set slightly in from the back of the shoe. Jimmy Choo rarely uses the term in its product names. Instead it uses “drop heel” for the curved, set-back shape, “kick heel” for a short flared one, and gives the height in millimetres. For this guide, we count any heel at 50 mm and under, which matches how most shoppers use the phrase.

How the house names its heights

The number in a Jimmy Choo style name is the heel height. A Scarlett 50 is 50 mm, roughly two inches. An Amita 45 is 45 mm. The Amelia is 35 mm. This makes it easy to compare styles without trying them on, and easy to find the same height again once you know what suits you.

The best Jimmy Choo kitten heels

Scarlett 50: the corset pump

The Scarlett 50 Pumps in black nappa leather are the kitten heel to start with. A stitched corset upper gives the pointed pump a little structure, and the 50 mm drop heel keeps it easy. The Scarlett comes in more finishes than any other low heel in the range: latte nappa, black Jimmy Choo lace, silver vintage metallic, crosshatch denim, grey herringbone and natural calf hair.

Amel 50: the clean pointed pump

The Amel 50 Pumps in black nappa have a pointed toe, a square vamp and a drop heel. The Amel also comes as a slingback in toffee suede, navy suede and dark merlot, with a rubber island sole construction on some versions. For evening, the Amel 50 is made in crystal mesh too.

Amita 45: the pearl slingback

The Amita 45 Slingbacks in black patent nappa have an elasticated slingback strap with pearl embellishment, a pointed toe and a 45 mm kick heel. The elastic strap is the practical detail here: it holds the heel in place without a buckle. Raffia versions in natural and tan suit summer.

Amelia 35: the lowest heel

At 35 mm, the Amelia 35 Pumps in black calf leather are the lowest Jimmy Choo heel in the edit. They have a closed toe and an open back, so they slip on like a mule but look like a pump. They also come in toffee suede, chocolate calf and black and butterscotch crackled leather.

Eyla Slingback 45: new for the season

New for autumn winter 2026/27, the Eyla Slingback 45 in black polished calf has a rounded toe, a high-cut vamp and an adjustable slingback strap. It also comes in black and ecru satin.

Lauri 50: the beaded slingback

The Lauri 50 Slingbacks in latte mix nappa add resin beads and gold metal hardware to a pointed toe and drop heel. They are the most decorative kitten heel for daytime.

Are kitten heels comfortable?

A lower heel puts less pressure on the ball of the foot, so most people find a 35 to 50 mm heel easier to wear for longer than an 85 mm one. Comfort also depends on the toe shape and the fit. A pointed toe, which most Jimmy Choo kitten heels have, needs the right length to avoid pinching. An elasticated slingback strap, like the one on the Amita, gives a little as you walk. For more detail see our Jimmy Choo size guide.

Low mules and sandals under 50 mm

Kitten heels are not only pumps. The Sana Mule 50 in white satin with pearl embellishment and a pointed toe is a favourite for low-key weddings. The Siva Mule 50 in ivory mix satin adds degrade crystal and a crystal sphere. The Liss 35 Mules in gold metallic nappa have a bow and a padded insole. In sandals, the Rafi 45 has a JC monogram pearl embellishment, and the Azilia 45 is a plain black suede option. See more in our Jimmy Choo mules guide.

How to wear kitten heels in autumn winter 2026/27

Kitten heels are the most useful shoe for the cold months, because they work with the clothes people actually wear. A black Scarlett 50 sits well under wide trousers and with a midi skirt and tights. A slingback such as the Eyla works with a long coat and cropped tailoring. For evening, swap to crystal: the Amel 50 in light soft gold and crystal honey gives a party shoe at the same low height. Find more of those in our crystal and bow heels edit.
