Jimmy Choo embossed leather Zena platform sandal

I know Jimmy Choo is a great in the world of designer shoes, but to me his shoes can be a bit ho-hum. The spring and summer 2010 collection is an example. The shoes are nice, but not that great. The above snakeskin sandal would be pretty, but the wooden platform and thick heel dress it down, making them more appropriate for jeans and a T, and totally ruling out a LBD. Yes, I know we need great shoes to wear with jeans, but at Jimmy Choo's price points, they need to be a bit more versatile. I do like the Quito sandal (last pic), but Steve Madden has the exact design.
