The pointed toe pumps for a workday that needs a little lift

A pair of pointed toe pumps on a 1.38 inch block heel, with a d’Orsay cut and an adjustable ankle strap. The listing gives the materials plainly, which helps when you are deciding how a pair fits your week and your wardrobe.

The shape here is a d’Orsay pump with a pointed toe, and the listing says the cut adds breathability. The heel is a block heel at 1.38 inches, which the listing describes as sturdy and says adds a subtle lift. An adjustable ankle strap lets you set how snug the shoe sits at the ankle, which the listing ties to stable footing.

The outer and inner materials are both listed as faux leather. The sole material is thermoplastic elastomers, and the outsole is TPR with an anti slip tread that the listing says is quiet on indoor and outdoor floors. Inside, the listing names a latex insole for cushioning and a lining it calls skin friendly. Anyone with a latex sensitivity should check that detail before ordering, since the listing says nothing more about the insole.

Some things are not stated. The listing gives no size chart, no width, no weight and no care instructions, and it does not say whether the insole can be removed. Whether a pointed toe suits you is a matter of your own foot shape and taste, and no toe box measurement is given to go on. The heel height is the one dimension the listing does give, so it is the one to plan around.
