What shoes are pumps?
1 Answer

Shoes with high heels are called pumps. The heel can be a stiletto, a block or a taper, depending on the design. In addition, pumps also feature low vamps that expose the top of the foot. Often, pumps have closed toes, but some do feature cutouts at the front called peep-toes. Explore a diverse assortment of pumps on 1stDibs.
