#1 - A little bit pilgrim looking with the big buckle, but not terrible.
#2 - Cute, kind of sexy. Seems like a lot of money for a pretty basic shoe?
#3 - I think the quilting and bow details are cute, but the heel looks less comfortable than the other options.

I like the middle pair best. But I am a bit afraid of patent leather because when it scuffs, there isn't anyway to fix it.

Prada. Well built, look great, comfortable and they last forever. My best heels and boots are Prada hands down.

ETA: I have had two pairs of heels and two pairs of boots for over 5 years and they still look awesome. Agree with Beth below that they are very classic yet stylish.

3rd vote for the Prada pump, very classic and good investment piece.

:bowdown: if you can wear heels that high!

The only one I would be able to wear is #1. But if you can get away with it, the Prada ones I think are the nicest--simple but classic. I don't like #3--too fussy for my tastes.

Depends on the occasion. My favorite are #3 but I would not have enough reasons to wear them. So I'd probably end up buying #2, and possibly #3 as well, if money were no object. I would not be caught dead wearing #1, too chunky of a heel IMO. Have you looked at JC? They offer great pumps that are also fairly comfortable.

#2 and #3 are my top picks. I don't care for #1- sorry!

Go big or go home. If you're going to get that level of shoe design, with that level of shine, get #3.

Love the 2nd and 3rd. Not really crazy about the first one because I'm not really into buckles unless they're in boots. The Prada looks yummy but if you want to save some money, Cole Haan has something similar (I have it in nude).

As for the peep toe, very sexy and it's a must have if you don't have one like it already.

Okay, I *ruined* my feet dancing. So I buy a lot of shoes like #1, which I like for professional work. Easy to walk in, look nice - but they are sensible.

ITA that the Prada are good shoes, but that's a really basic design. If I were going to be wearing the shoe a lot, I'd look for something a little more padded at the bottom and maybe a lower heel.

If, however, you can rock the heel and #2 feels like a slipper on you, that would be my choice.

#3 is pretty, but can be worn with less - especially if you live in the North.

I agree, Cole Haan has shoes similar to the Prada pump you posted. It's called Air Carma (http://www.6pm.com/cole-haan-air-carma-open-toe-pump-black-patent-leather). I posted link to open toe pump, but am pretty sure they make the regular one as well.

Love Cole Haan Violet pump posted above. Found them on sale (http://www.colehaan.com/colehaan/catalog/product.jsp?sizeDescription=&catId=100&productId=396073&productGroup=383898&pwpHash=shop,pwp,c-100/f-10001+4294966924+4294966457+70016/ipp-40/pn-3&scrX=0&scrY=2392)for $170 on their website, it's certain colors but includes black and patent nude. Contemplating if I need a pair :loveeyes:.

#1 is a snore. Pilgrim snore. Sorry.
#2 is classic, very nice. Probably the one I'd wear the most.
#3 hubba-hubba! Lurve it!

[SkyrMommy]

I like #3, a little more snazzy!

I got the nude and they feel great. I usually wear them during spring and summer.
