The hardest working pair of shoes you'll ever own...
Looking for the perfect everyday shoe? Then it's all about the pointed flat. The best way to look classic, chic but oh-so-on-trend and with an added hint of sexiness, the pointed pump is a firm favourite among the fash-pack - and rightly so.
Shoe trends come and go, and while we're thoroughly loving this season's reinvented ballet pump with a block heel and evening-appropriate mules, there are many reasons why the pointed pump has remained our eternally reliable favourite for many seasons.
Comfort is obviously king here. But when you consider the plethora of styles on offer, it's easy to see why we keep turning to these versatile pumps time and time again. Whether you want to go dainty or statement, sexy or classic,day or night, on or off-duty, it's the shoe that just keeps on giving. And the comfort never fades.Not only are they the perfect shoe to wear to the office,but they'll work equally as hard on the weekend, and will even amp up your A-line mini skirt in the evening, too.
This classic, transitional style is the perfect wardrobe staple, which can be worn with anything through summer and winter. Team it with a midi skirt and shirt for the perfect day look, or go for a cropped wide leg culottes and T-shirt for the perfect weekend attire.
From leopard print to embellished and everything in-between, there are covetable designer and high street pairs making sure there's a style for you, whatever your budget.
