Women's Pumps

These open-toed pumps offer incredibly sexy styling, and come in lots in lots of different fabrics and eye-catching prints. Their 4.25" heels are offset by 1" partially-concealed platforms, so they don't feel quite as high as they look, and their silhouette is pure glamour and sex appeal.

If it's femme fatale pumps you're after, then you're going to love these pointy-toed pumps from L.A.M.B. Their sex appeal comes in part from their extremely thin 4.25" stiletto heels, but the cutout sides, skimpy ankle straps, and metallic vamp bands don't hurt their cause any either. Available in black or nude.

There's something about open-toed pumps that is so feminine and classy, and these particular women's pumps are especially appealing. I think it's partly due to the scalloped edges, but the pretty colors and finishes are helpful too. Ideal for pairing with nearly any dressier item in your closet, these pumps look far more expensive than their $120 price tag.

Want to make an impact at your next evening event? Try a pair of sexy pumps with fancy trim or embellishments, for a look that's classic and head-turning. I'm particularly smitten with these soutache-trimmed pumps from Martinez Valero. Also available in black, red, or the perfect shade of pink, these open-toed pumps have 4.5" heels and partially-concealed .5" platform soles.

What do you do when you're looking for a pair of dressy pumps with a little more "oomph?" Well, that's where dressy pumps like these come in. The striped uppers and silver and rhinestone vamp brooches are sure to leave a lasting impression.

Pumps with pointed toes aren't always the most comfortable shoes, and if you're self-conscious about the length of your feet, this also may not be the style for you. However, pointy-toed pumps are also incredibly sexy, and they tend to have an overall slimming effect. If after weighing out the pros and cons, you decided that pointy toes are for you, then you may really like these lacy pumps from Guess. With 4" heels, and suede and fabric uppers, these pumps are so much more than just their pointy toes.

I nearly didn't add these to the list, because they're not exactly typical pumps. But then again, they are pumps, and how could I make a list of hot women's pumps, and not include them? Also available in gray or black, these ultra-sexy and unique shoes feature 4" heels, and ruffled fronts, so they're right on par with some of the season's hottest trends.

The depth of the ultra-glossy uppers, and the mottled red shade would be enough to turn my head, but these women's pumps also have a classic shape that's versatile enough to pair with nearly anything; 4.75" heels; and 1" platform soles -- and according to early reviews at Zappos.com, they're incredibly comfortable as well. These lookers are also available in dark natural and bronze patent, which are both nice, but for me, the red version is the hands-down champion of the lot.

These women's pumps feature more sexy features than should be allowed on one pair of shoes, including 4" heels, thick platform soles, open toes, and d'Orsay styling. On top of all of that, they have ultra-glossy patent uppers that are sure to turn heads, whether you wear them to the office, or out to dinner after. Available in nude, black, or a striking shade of purple.

These are by far the most basic pumps pumps on the list, but I wanted to include them for two reasons. 1) Basic pumps are justifiably a staple in most women's wardrobes, and 2) these basic pumps have very low heels, making them great for women who can't, or prefer not, to wear high heeled pumps. On top of all that, they're very attractive with 1.5" heels and classic, pointed-toe styling. If you don't need a pair of black pumps, you may want to have a look at one of the many other versatile shades.
