Pointy Toe Pumps

Pointy toe pumps make a stark yet stylish statement in shoe fashion. Shoe toe shapes determine much of what the shoe wearer wants to project, since the toe of the shoe is often the only part that will be seen of the shoe if you are wearing pants, a suit, or a long skirt or dress. Round toe pumps give a softer appearance, calmer, curvy and relaxing; blunt or square toe pumps aver a harsher, edgier, very committed punch to a shoe style, the hardness determined by how wide the square front edge is and how sharp the corners to either side;

And pointy toe pumps infer a sharp focus of mind and style, a committedness to a singular direction. Pointy toe pumps are usually created with simple and elegant lines; you can find them with frills and on platform pumps and wedge heels and even cut out shoe designs, but the pointy toe is such a simple and defined look that most often it is used on a shoe that breathes elegant simplicity, where there is a commitment to a unified shape and style and where excessive additive stylings and fringes would overpower this look.

Pointy toe pumps are the footwear of choice for classy or elegant events, and these pumps are what you'll usually see in a nicer prom or wedding outfit, or with an evening gown or a special event suit. All top women's shoe makers offer many models of the pointy toe pump, so you can find economy models for $50 or less, all the way up to luxury designer models in the hundreds or thousands of dollars. They are a cheap way to make an economical wardrobe look classy, or a way to make an uber-classy outfit look even more exemplary.

Most pointy toe pumps feature an average-length point, usually ranging to about an inch further in front of the big toe; this length is the most universally-stylish and is easiest to walk in. But some shoe artisans push the limits, and you'll find pointy pumps with points that stick out three inches or more, creating a needle-like or stiletto-toe look, almost a 'wicked' appearance, and these are worn by ladies wanting to test a few fashion edges... or by those wearing witch costumes!
