What is worth knowing about open-toe pumps?
Interestingly, the first models of pumps with open toes or heels were used by... men. This type of footwear was used by servants, who valued this type of footwear because of the quick ability to put it on the foot. The first pumps did not have much decoration, thongs or interesting cuts - it was simply footwear for poor people. This type of shoe was then called pompes.
In the 19th century the first women's pumps appeared. At that time they looked like real, elegant footwear for a lady, and every woman wanted to have them. As it happens with ladies - with time they wanted more and more shoes, so the types and styles of pumps multiplied like mushrooms after rain. The first really designer and comfortable shoes like pumps were created by Coco Chanel. In 1920 she designed extremely beautiful and comfortable shoes with a slightly square toe. Their post was not very high, but they looked really elegant. This is what the first formal women's pumps looked like.
Models of pumps changed over the years. Their posts were higher, lower and had variable shapes. The nose of the pumps was sometimes a bit rounder, square, and finally a bit pointed. The first models of footwear were not among the most comfortable, but after Coco Chanel's innovative design everything changed. Women began to wear pumps for many different occasions, but most often as an accessory to an evening outfit. Nowadays, the models of these slippers are almost innumerable, and their cuts and embellishments make it possible to find a suitable proposal even for the most demanding and original woman. Women in our time wear pumps to work, to balls and weddings and other social gatherings.

In fashion there are also exceptions and some women wear pumps with heels, for example, with sports pants. However, combinations of this kind are not classic and are extremely rare.
Open toe pumps are a type of footwear that goes well with all kinds of pants, as well as dresses or skirts. Such a model is most popular in summer and late spring, when the weather allows for partial exposure of the foot.

What to pay attention to when choosing peep toe and open toe pumps?
When looking for the right shoes, it is important to consider what we will need them for. It is worth following these tips:
Anchor/heel height. This issue is extremely important when it comes to our comfort and convenience, as well as appearance. Higher heels look extremely impressive, but let's not choose them when we do not feel comfortable in such models. Open-toe pumps with high heels are even made for ladies with small height - but it's good that the footwear should also be practical and allow us to use it for a long time. Otherwise, we will be forced to change shoes during the event, if only for ballerinas. Comfort is therefore the most important thing!
Color. When we own a whole bunch of peep toe or open toe pumps, it's worth allowing ourselves a color that is a bit more customized. However, if we usually own one or two pairs of such footwear, let's bet on classic colors of black, beige or brown. We can wear such shoes almost anywhere and it will be easy to match them with other parts of our closet. In the event that we want our styling to be enlivened by an unusual piece of clothing - it is worth having pumps in a slightly more striking color. For classic and subdued styling, it is also worth matching a model of patterned pumps.
Plastic. When buying pumps, the most popular choice will be natural or eco-friendly leather. Some ladies are in favor of suede, but such material is often subject to dirt. Let's also pay attention to the fact that the shoes are comfortable and made of material that will somewhat adapt to the shape of our foot.
Women's open-toe pumps are a closet item that is almost a must-have for all elegant ladies. So it is worth that they are comfortable and look nice. The open-toe model is a great option for spring and hot summer!
