They're a staple for so many in the business world, but what exactly are women's pumps?

Also called court shoes in British English, women's pumps are defined as low-cut, slip-on dress shoes. Heel styles differ in women's pumps, and heel heights typically range from one to four inches. Pointed or round toes are the most common, and some women's pumps also feature a peep toe.

The materials of women's pumps are as diverse as the designs. Leather is the standard, but recently women's pumps have experimented with less traditional textiles. Several women's pumps, such as the Nina Fifi, use mesh and satin to create an alluring look. Others take women's pumps for a walk on the wild side with snakeskin prints (the Franco Sarto Nissan, for example). Or, blast into the past with a vintage-inspired women's pump like the crocheted Dollhouse Doilie.
