Nude pumps - yes or no?

[Notcontent]

I bought some nude pumps today from Hobbs. I think they look nice but want to reassure myself I haven't made a mistake. I set out to buy the same style in black but then realised I have some black peep toe pumps and that maybe I don't need black after all.

I will mainly wear them for work. They seem to go well with navy and bright colours... I am not going to look too mumsy, am I?

My only issue is that I generally favour black matt tights, so will obviously need to seek alternatives!

Does anyone have a view?

Have you got a link to them?

I have nude wedged hill peep toes and they actually look great with everything. I've worn them to weddings and with black skinnys to less formal. I wasn't sure when i bought them but they have turned out to be the best high heels I've owned.

Here is a link:

I can't do anything too high...

That link is to black patent court shoes with a high heel?

Yes, they are the nude version in the link. Court shoes/pumps - I always get confused...

Pumps are like ballet shoes, yes?

They are totally fine and inoffensive just slightly dated and middleton-esque

Dated is what I was trying to avoid...

No. Nude pumps are the new knee high boot, just as the knee high boot recovers!

Bit done to death.

think they're nice, definitely not mumsy. just a good everyday shoe

I like them and have been considering investing in a decent pair that actually fit. But I have to agree with the PP that they're now getting dated. Last night I was at my dad's choir concert ("Broadway and Beyond"...) and every other woman past the age of 50 had the same sturdyish Middleton-esque nude courts on. Dammit!

I do like your link though- they're a good shade of nude, not too pinky (and would go with that mink coloured dress I have that black shoes are OTT with). Are Hobbs shoes worth the money?

Pumps are the American word for court shoes, sweetspring .

Tsk, tsk. You need to get out more

send them back....they are horrid

courts shoes...nasty
nude...just ridiculous
patent....vile

unless of course you are in craicdealer's choir or in fact actually Kate Middleton

Hated them then. Hate them. Very middle management. Like dolls feet

dont you believe it

What do we do? Lock the yanks out? Change the site name to BritMumsNet? Are you a member of UKIP by any chance, Sweetspring ?

Only teasing. Let us not jeopardize our special relationship over the color of some pumps, okay?

OP - don't like the nude, personally. Navy suede is to die for (different style, still Hobbs). Hobbs shoes last and are comfy IMHO.

Apologies for hijack

'can't do anything too high?'

those are stilts by my definition.

they'll get marked in seconds. Very impractical colour.

Is it not the cadaver colour that is the biggest issue here?

I think the covert infiltration of a bastion of British culture by North American fashionistas is a more pressing concern, tbh.

Maybe that's just me

I liked those shoes in navy. I'm not a huge fan of patent though and got navy suede instead.

I like them but I need to dress very conservatively at work.
