The Only Shoe We Want Right Now: Classic Pointed-Toe Pumps

After years of platforms, heels move toward more modest heights.

For years, we’ve been stocking our shoe wardrobe with ever-more-skyward platform styles. A half inch here, a two-plus inch there. The higher the heel, the closer to God, right? Perhaps the jury’s still out on that particular maxim, because these days, the subdued single-sole pump has started to look appealing in a way it hasn’t in oh so long. Though it may not promise supermodel-esque height, the classic lines and effortless femininity of these pointed-toe styles suddenly seems entirely Right Now.
