Get the JOJO Low Heel fit right the first time with sizing advice, break-in tips, and a simple care routine for women's low-heel shoes.
Quick answer
Order the JOJO Low Heel a half size up from your usual size, then treat the water-resistant leather with a basic care routine to keep these women's low-heel shoes comfortable and sharp.
Why the half-size-up rule matters for this pointed low heel
The JOJO has a pointed toe, and pointed toes leave less room at the front of the shoe than round or almond toes. That shape is part of what makes the style look polished, but it also means your usual size may feel snug across the toes. Sizing up a half size gives your toes more space without making the heel slip, since the shoe is a slip-on with a .5-inch stacked heel and a buckle detail that helps hold the foot in place.
If you normally wear a wide width, use the width option rather than sizing up further. A half size up in the right width is usually more comfortable than a full size up in a standard width.
What to expect from the leather and the low heel
The upper is supple water-resistant leather, which means light rain or a spilled coffee won't immediately ruin the finish, but it is not a rain boot. The .5-inch stacked heel gives a small lift without the balance challenge of a higher heel, so these work well for long days at a desk or on your feet.
Because the leather is supple, it may feel slightly firm at first around the toe box and heel counter. That is normal for new leather shoes; the fit should feel snug but not pinching, with about a finger's width of space at the front of the longest toe.
Your step-by-step fit and care routine
- Measure your foot at the end of the day: Stand on a piece of paper in the afternoon or evening, trace both feet, and measure from the heel to the longest toe. Use the larger foot to choose your size. Common mistake: measuring first thing in the morning, when feet are at their smallest. Write down both measurements so you can compare them with the size chart before ordering.
- Order a half size up from your usual size: The JOJO is recommended to be ordered 1/2 size up. If you are between sizes, go with the larger half size. Checkpoint: your longest toe should have a small gap from the front of the shoe when you stand.
- Try them on with the socks or tights you plan to wear: Put the shoes on late in the day and walk on a carpeted surface for a few minutes. The slip-on style should stay on without gripping with your toes. Common mistake: trying them on with thin socks if you plan to wear them barefoot or with tights. If the heel slips, try a heel grip before deciding the size is wrong.
- Break them in gradually: Wear the JOJO for one to two hours at home on the first day, then increase wear time over the next week. The supple leather will soften and mold to your foot. Common mistake: wearing them for a full workday straight out of the box.
- Wipe and condition the leather monthly: Wipe the upper with a soft damp cloth after wearing, then apply a leather conditioner made for smooth leather and buff with a dry cloth. Do this once a month, or more often if the shoes get wet. Common mistake: using a colored or silicone-based polish that can darken or clog the leather. Test any conditioner on a small hidden area first.
- Dry wet shoes away from heat: If the water-resistant leather gets wet, stuff the shoes with plain paper towels and let them air-dry at room temperature. Never place them on a radiator or use a hair dryer. Checkpoint: the leather should feel dry and supple, not stiff, before you wear them again.
- Store them with shape and check the heel: Keep the shoes in dust bags or a shoe box with shoe trees or rolled paper inside to hold the pointed toe shape. Check the .5-inch stacked heel for loose layers or worn caps every few months. Common mistake: storing them loose in a closet where the pointed toes can get crushed. A cobbler can replace a worn heel cap before the stacked layers start to split.
