I think black pumps are classic staple, depending on how pointy the toe is. They can be worn with so many outfits when you need to be a bit more conservative or when you need to dress something up. Or, if you have an outfit with a lot going on, the plain black pumps could be your bit of subdued neutral. For example, if you have on a dress with a lot of bright patterns and purse with color or a pattern on it, you really don't need a shoe with a lot going on too, kwim?
Eta- I just saw your link. I don't think they are too trendy that they will go out of style. And the thing about black shies is that you will only wear them a few times per year so you don't want them to go out of style. While the ones you linked to are not my favorite, I know how important it is to get a pair of reliable shoes that are comfortable for you. If something comes up that you need to dress for, you want to be able to pull them out sighing that you'll look alright and be comfortable for the event. So, I say get them they should be a nice staple for a long time.
