The pointed shoe was a significant footwear trend for AW23, seen on runways and street style. Its silhouette elongates any look and looks chic with dresses, skirts, and even pants of all lengths.

Pointed Toes

The pointed toe is a timeless silhouette that never goes out of style. It was all over the runway for AW23, from Miu Miu's sharp toes to Dundas' sculpted heels.

Stylist and shoe fanatic Stacy London explains that pointy-toe shoes are "the basic shoe for every woman's closet." She says that their line-lengthening shape can make a short skirt or dress look intentional.

She suggests pairing your pointed shoes with cropped pants, tailored separates, or a sheath dress to create a sleek, pulled-together look. The style also looks chic with skinny jeans and a light leather jacket.

Heels

Heels with a pointed toe add height and elegance to any outfit. Choose from a range of heel heights to suit your comfort level. A black knitted tapered toe heel from Ninetofive by London Rebel is a comfortable option for the day. At the same time, a red leather pointed-toe slingback heel from Breaker is more suited for evening events.

For a more sophisticated look, try a pointed-toe stiletto heel. These heels are perfect for formal occasions and can be worn with casual jeans and dresses. Heels of this height draw the eye downwards to elongate the legs. For quality womens pointed shoes, click here.

For a fun and unique style, check out pointed-toe lucite heels. While pole dancers often prefer these, they can be shaped into stylish designs and found on heels of all shapes and sizes.

Flats

Despite the rise of other footwear trends, pointed flats remain in style. This is because the shape lengthens the appearance of the legs, a look that works whether you're wearing a midi dress or extra-long pants.

When shopping for flats, consider the outer material and construction of the shoe. A leather pair will soften with wear and may stretch slightly over time.

Reviewer Shanon Maglente found Rothy's The Flat comfortable right out of the box after wearing them for an entire day. However, she noticed that they did cause her feet to sweat more than other flats she's worn. She also notes that the shoes did not give as much as other Rothy's pairs she tested, so that they might feel tight.

Boots

Women's boots, especially those with a pointed toe, can be challenging to break in. But if you invest in a pair designed to last, they should be comfortable and easy to wear out of the box.

Stylist and shoe fanatic Stacy London recommends these slick boots from Coclico, which she says are "impeccably made" and "will anchor my closet for seasons to come." They're tight around the calves, so they might not work with some skinny jeans.

If you're in the market for cold-weather boots that won't destroy your feet, try these tactical-looking boots from Ganni, which fashion content creator Tilly Macalister-Smith describes as "undestroyable." They also have ample space around the ankle and lower shin, so they don't rub against bare skin. For quality womens pointed shoes, click here.

Sandals

Sandals with pointed toes have a demure yet feminine vibe that works for women who want to elevate their outfits subtly. The elongated toes of these shoes add length to the legs and give an overall slimming effect. They're ideal for work or a date night and pair well with tailored women's suits or floor-skimming evening dresses.

These strappy sandals have elastic straps that stretch and mould to fit the feet. They're lightweight, easy to pack, comfortable for all-day wear, and surprisingly supportive. Our testers experienced no heel pain, blisters, or strained arches.
