Court Shoes

Court shoes (American English, "pumps") are heeled shoes with low cut fronts and usually no fastening. The heel and toe can be any shape as dictated by the fashion of the time. In the UK a closed toe and wide (non-stiletto) heel would now be expected for someone interested in high fashion; however the majority tend to still wear stilettos of mainly kitten to medium height. Outside the fashion trade in the UK, the term "pumps" would normally imply flat or low heel dancing or ballerina pumps, or even rubber soled canvas plimsolls. Mostly the heel of a pump is high from 8cm to 13cm and more. This shoe style is the most favourite.
