Although many of my Pleaser Pumps are altered to suit my wardrobe whims as a "fashionartist," I have three pairs of Vanity pumps that fit-the-bill just as they were meant to do. All are vinyl, or poly-urethate patent, and all are inexpensive--largely due to Amazon. For a woman's wardrobe, black, and white are basic necessities; albeit, as one who has been complemented as to how she appears in red, so it is, that the third pair is, necessarily so, red patent. These Vanity pumps are quite simple, yet effective in providing me the little bit of extra "oomph" I seek to add to any and every ensemble. The heel height is aproximately 4"; and, not unlike the Seduce style, with a slightly pointed toe they provide me with comfort as well as style.
