Despite all the warnings against pointed pumps, they are still my favorite. They are so much more sophisticated and feminine than their round-toed counterparts.

Did you see Lucy Liu on the Late Show with David Letterman earlier this week?
Her bright pink Alexander McQueen dress was turning heads, but what I really loved were her elbow length black leather gloves and pointy black pumps.

If you are looking for a pointy toe pump in a hot color for fall, this is your shoe.
These Stuart Weitzman Fever Pointy Toe Pump in “Fire” are definitely hot.
The rich color and classic styling make them a must-have this season.
These shoes are available at RevolveClothing.com, where you can find an array of fabulous fall fashions.
These pointed pumps also come in basic black and are priced at $231.
Though many women avoid pointy pumps these days, I always find them to be gorgeous. And if you don’t wear them while standing on your feet for extended periods of time, you can avoid problems.
