Pumps are a classic shoe.

The basic shape in the 16th century was wide cut and flat, the thin sole was only adapted for parquet, marmoreal floors, carpets and other floor coatings, which were common in suavity.

For this reason, pumps are still called 'court shoes'.

Over the years, pumps have changed in style.

Now the typical pump is an elegant and comfortable shoe - somewhere between a ballerina style shoe and high heels.

Pumps are the perfect women's evening shoes.

These are similar to normal pumps, but the back part of the foot is free apart from a strap.

This small but important difference means that the partially exposed foot looks sexy, but the shoes are elegant enough for evening occasions.




Although these shoes are appropriate for all evening occasions, you mustn`t forget to consider the weather!

If you want to present yourself as sexy, you should consider wearing high heels with your evening outfit.

They are not the most comfortable choice, and you might even have to learn how to walk properly in them, but it will be worth the effort !

Since the 1950s, high society women wore high heels regardless of warnings about accidents and damage they leave on most floor surfaces.

High heels are the perfect women's evening shoes.

Mules are clog type pumps.

In the 1940s and 50s, they were decorated with plums and worn by every Hollywood diva.

At one time unpopular because women found them hard to dance in, mules were rediscovered by many shoe designers in the 1990s.

Over the years, people have experimented with shoe design, in order to offer mules to fit all kinds of occasions.

They're a good choice to wear on hot summer nights, as they're sexy and open.

However, make sure you feel comfortable walking and dancing in them before you buy them!

The name ballerina tells us something about the history of these classic, flat shoes because they were based on ballet shoes.


Unlike the dancing shoes, they have a thicker sole to make them more wearable for everyday life.


If you choose ballerinas in a flashy material and colour like black velvet or shimmering silk, you will get a lot of wear out of them, and be able to wear them at all kinds of evening events.

Boots were really popular in the 1970s, and became popular again in the 1990s.

They are available in many different materials and in a variety of different designs.

Chic boots look best with a knee-length skirt, a short dress, but also with trousers.

They are more comfortable to wear if the weather is cold, so they might be your first choice for a winter occasion.

There are hundreds of different kinds of sandals that were created in different cultures, but basically they are all the same -

a sole that is held onto your foot with straps.

As modern fashion designers have many more materials to work with, sandals today come as flats, pumps or high heels.
