When Anna Wintour, someone who could literally choose any shoes in the world, opts to wear the same pair every day, you take note. For the Vogue editor in chief, it’s Manolo Blahnik or nothing, and she was famously quoted saying that she "just doesn’t even look” at other brands in the 2017 documentary about the designer’s life. Clearly, she’s on to something, and Wintour is not alone in her devotion to Manolos. The designer’s beautiful footwear has graced the feet of so many of the world’s most stylish and elegant women, from Diana to Kate, Meghan to Carrie (Bradshaw, of course).

This fan base is not just a result of the shoes looking so fabulous, but it’s also because slipping them on genuinely feels like a Cinderella moment. Manolo designs for the way a shoe looks and flatters the foot, yes, but one of his main concerns is also how they feel—something I think everyone can appreciate. I was lucky enough to wear a pair of the Lurum heels on my wedding day, and let me tell you I never wanted to take them off, not even at 4 a.m. Supreme quality, comfort and design details all add up to make Manolos the perfect shoes.

More than just classic, Manolo Blahnik shoes go down in the fashion history books. And although that might sound intimidating and somewhat inaccessible, if you happen to have a spare few (quite a few, I might add) hundred pounds to invest wisely in your forever wardrobe, then owning a pair of Manolos is closer than you think. You can find the brand on Net-a-Porter these days, and not just a select few—all of Manolo’s most iconic styles are on there (yes, including those blue Hangisi pumps). 

So if you’ve been considering taking the leap for a while and want some guidance before you make the final decision, maybe you have a special occasion coming up that deserves a shoe to match, or you’ve already been working on your collection and you’re looking for you’re next purchase, keep scrolling to see and shop the six best-ever Manolo Blahnik shoes you'll never regret investing in.
