Shopping for Black Leather Pumps

By Emily Waterfield , last updated September 23, 2011

Shopping for a pair of black leather pumps is key, are these shoes are usually the bedrock of every woman’s wardrobe. No closet is complete without the perfect pair of black heels, as they are the foundation to nearly every outfit imaginable. From work to play, they provide the perfect backdrop for your most professional power suit and your favorite little black dress. Black leather pumps come in all shapes and sizes, and it is up to the personal preference of each individual woman to determine which style is best suited to her wardrobe. Round-toe, patent leather, suede platform pumps, and pointy-toe, sumptuous leather styles are just a few of the black pumps available on the market. The two best things about black leather pumps is that they will never go out of style and they are also available at multiple different price points. For women who live in their heels, splurging on a pair of black leather ones is an economical decision, but for women who only occasionally brave the world in heels, more affordable options are readily available.

Piperlime is an online specialty store that carries an extensive collection of shoes. Although the company has recently branched out to include clothing and accessories for men, women, and children, it is shoes that Piperlime is known for. Piperlime is the perfect place to shop for black leather pumps, as the most popular designer labels can be found on the site. Marc & James by Badgley Mischka is one of the first pairs of black pumps that a shopper will stumble upon when searching through Piperlime’s inventory. The perfect pair of black heels for almost any situation, this pair is versatile and classic. Carrying the name of a major fashion house, Marc & James by Badgley Mischka is a more affordable line under the fashion label that is Badgley Mischka, and infuses the quality and cut that women have come to love. Also available at Piperlime are traditional black pumps with a twist, such as faux alligator skin, feminine bow details, and subtle piping.

Department stores are another great source to use when shopping for black leather pumps. No other retail location will provide as extensive a selection of shoes as department stores, and women will likely be able to find several styles of black pumps to try on. Nordstrom, for example, has an unbeatable shoe department. Currently, Nordstrom is carrying a vast selection of black leather pumps, from traditional round-toe styles, to funky, unique styles that implement embellishment, shine, and other fun details. Steve Madden is one such brand that provides women with updated versions of the classic black heel. A peep-toe slingback, adorned with shiny crystal detailing makes for a pair of black heels that will serve as a woman’s go-to shoe for post-work fun. At the more traditional end of the spectrum is Tory Burch’s round-toe pump. Adorned simply by the brand’s trademark logo, this pair of black leather pumps can be taken from the boardroom to after-work drinks.
