The Perfect Black Pump

[Phryne]

Still hunting for it. I draw the line at 31/2 inch heel. In the mean time my favorite black pump is Michael Kors Gogo pump.

I've been looking for the "perfect black pump" too! I prefer shoes that don't have a soft kind of fabric-y outside so that it feels less stain-able. These seem nice. They're from Payless shoesource (very affordable shoe store, I just love it.) Found the picture on Tumblr.

I also really like these ones, also from Tumblr.

Chrissy - They're pretty much perfect and look like they would go with anything. I hope they're comfortable

 

[ChrissyM]

^^they're pretty high but comfort-wise they're not as bad as they look! the sole actually seems to have a little bit of cushioning in it.

i've only worn them a couple times so far and was standing a lot both times without a problem

definitely happy with the purchase

hmm the same size as me...

I'm generally not huge into classic pumps, but those are just hot.

I used to go to Payless for affordable day shoes but it got my feet in so much trouble, I now avoid them like a plague. The problem is that the shoes are 100% synthetic. The ones that have some leather, the leather is the lowest possible quality. Just five years ago Payless offered shoes made in Brazil and they were with acceptable quality, now all is made in China. Budget conscious shopping is great but keep in mind that poor made shoes can get you in lots of trouble.

I think Black Suede Louboutin Ron Rons are gorgeous!

The most timeless and classic "Perfect Black Pump" is Christian Louboutin's Bruges 120mm Pump

They have a hefty price tag, but are definitely worth saving for.

Nah, the perfect black pump doesn't have the toe of a clown shoe.

ah! Jil Sander, right?

I made my sister buy those a while back (the pair I found on sale was too small for me) but she returned them because she didn't think she'd wear them enough

I DEFINITELY would have kept them had they been my size

Like there's any question... the Alti of course.

Yes, Jil!
Well to be honest I don't wear them so frequently... they are not exactly comfortable.. but I love them so much

If we're talking Louboutin I am going to have to say that the ROLANDO is pretty much perfect.

Prada has these black suede pumps that are to die for.
So gorgeous. Definitely going to purchase them.
