Toe names
Listings use generic names such as pointed toe, almond toe, round toe, and peep toe for the front of a pump. We do not define them. The maker's photos and description show a given shoe.
The listing is the source
The maker's listing and photos show the toe of a given shoe. Part 24 says it is "unfair or deceptive to misrepresent" the construction of an industry product, among other aspects.
Fit
Makers' size charts vary; check the maker's chart and return policy. We do not say any toe shape fits a foot type.
What we do not do
We do not name designers, signature styles, or look-alikes.
This is general information, not legal or medical advice.

FAQ
General information only, not medical advice. Material labels are the maker's: check the label for each part of the shoe. Fit varies by maker and by person, so check the maker's size chart and the return policy. If you have foot pain or a foot or health condition, talk to your doctor or a podiatrist.
