Those Charles David pumps are a doll!

The pointy-toed pump is unmatched with regards to sex appeal, there's no doubt about that. I nearly lost my shit when months ago talk of "shorter heel heights" as being "on trend" were going around - you know, as the economy's going back up, heel heights are going back down? Something like that. Anyway, I couldn't bear to visualize (shudder) kitten heels on the pages of i-D and Vogue Paris, so thank goodness Emmanuelle Alt is the dictator of all that is chic and that she is forever the goddess of skinny jeans and pointy-toes. Amen to that.

I am in total agreement of a single sole (not sure if I am using the right terminolgy) heel. Platforms, while making one extremely tall with comfort, just remind me of Kardashians and Forever 21, and all not in a good way. Plus, I think they throw people out of proportion, as in petite women wearing platforms - not pleasing to the eye. A simple heel, as in these pointy-toed pumps, not only look elegant, but elongate what legs you have. Plus I think these are way less hooch looking than platforms. I am currently on the lookout for my classic heel, so thank you for your suggestions!

Phew! My systematic replacing of platform heels with pointy toed pumps over the last few months, is now validated!

For me to pull off the pointy-toe pump it's all about foot cleavage! I like 8, takes the sexy to a whole new level.

i love the pointy-toed pumps but some reason I cant combine them with anything in my closet. I feel like they make me look older:)

Hey, Pigalle pumps and the like don't suit everyone. On me - slim, but latin - they look.... slutty. Not in the good ITG/Vogue Paris sense, more like Amsterdam's red light district... at daytime.... low tourist season.

I wrote an account of my stupefying shopping expedition to one of Louboutin's Paris store: http://www.vintageobserver.com/2012/12/red-soul.html

ALSO -- (because I've loved a classic pointy-toed pump since I was.....barely walking AND I tend to champion quantity over brand), Charles David has a GORGEOUS pair with the sexiest shaped vamp......drool:

I have loved pointy-toed pumps since I bought my first pair of shoes, in the '80s, which were...pointy-toed pumps. While I flirt with peep toes, Mary Janes, and the like, my heart belongs to a classic pointy pump. Preferably with some great color or detail. Though I won't go higher than about 4-4.5". That's a comfortable walking height for me. And I think anything higher just looks a little excessive.
