"As a practicing attorney I am in court a lot. The shoes I see on the women in my profession are shocking to say the least. They wear clunky "grandma" shoes (I am a grandma), sandals and shoes that look like sloppy black tennis shoes. Their entire image is ruined by the shoes. The men at least wear wing tips or very nice leather dress shoes. More professional women should take a look at Classic Pumps. If they don't want the real tall heel, they can look at the Nany. Or try the Gina if you are afraid of pumps. Classic Pumps are comfortable and are great to walk in.

An attorney needs to give the appearance of authority when advocating for clients. Since women are usually shorter than men, I believe it helps to get some height in the courtroom. At 5'7", I am tall for a women but shorter than some men. When I wear my Bellas I am almost 5'11" and tower over many opposing counsel. I am ordering two more pair of shoes since my Bellas were worn out! I have had many good comments about my shoes because they complete the look of the suits that I wear. Thank you Walt for providing these shoes! I love them."

St. Paul, MN (8/18/2008)

"Big thank you, your shoes are perfect and I always say you can't have too many pairs of shoes, especially as they come in such delicious colours. We have a fab shoe shop called Faith in the UK, but sometimes they don't quite get it right with elegance (front of shoe is usually too long or balance in heel and toe not quite right making foot look long and inelegant).

I have been asked on occasions where my shoes come from and I always direct them to Classic Pumps, however I think some ladies are a little apprehensive about ordering from abroad. I have always reassured them that size and delivery are spot on and I have never experienced any problems in my 8 year relationship wtih Classic Pumps."

Coventry, United Kingdom (7/22/2008)

"I have the world's worst feet and they almost always hurt in anything except sandals, sneakers and rather dowdy-looking low-heeled shoes. So, when someone who knows how much I yearn to wear three and four inch heels told me that I should try these shoes, I was skeptical to say the least. But I have them, and I love them. I can wear them without wondering how I can surreptitiously take my shoes off with no one noticing (which is what I usually did when I wore high heels despite the pain they inflicted). Anyone who loves the look of a leg in high heels but can barely endure the discomfort they cause should buy these shoes. I have only had the Bellas a few days and am already eying more styles and colors.

I also highly recommend the Dressfits by Superfeet. They make my Bellas even more comfortable than they already are."

Northford, CT (7/9/2008)

"I have been ordering shoes from this site for a couple of years now and I love the variety of colours available. Wearing only a size 3.5, sexy feminine shoes were not available to me until thankfully I discovered Classic Pumps. The service is terrific too!"

Mt. Pearl, NS (7/3/2008)

"Buying the Lucy shoes is the best purchase I made in footwear, product quality, shipping was fast, and are shoes that make me feel very sexy and elegant."

El Salvador (4/3/2008)

"Hi, Walt! My apologies for not getting back to you sooner... You are a doll! The Camel pumps arrived Friday afternoon. Lovely and perfect. Thank you so much for sending promptly! So glad I finally got them; had been wanting them since they first came out. Working now on slowly updating/replacing some of my older pairs –like my black Rossi slingbacks- which I use a lot, or my red pumps, or maybe a black suede in the higher heel. Have to work at it slowly, so hubby doesn’t think I’m rushing him to the poorhouse through my shoes. So maybe in another month, again, I’ll get back to you."

Burns, IA (2/19/2008)

"My gorgeous shoes arrived 15 minutes ago and they are perfect! Perfect fit (luckily you know your shoe sizes better than I), perfect look - perfect shoe! I am changing my plans for the day to allow for my first outing in my BP Lolas. You'll know if they are the hit I fully expect them to be - I'll be ordering some custom colours!

Thanks again - from you very pleased new repeat customer."

Queensland, Australia (2/19/2008)

"As a experienced photographer, I often have to supply certain items for a shoot. When a job came up that required a classic-style pump I started looking around to see what was available. After many frustrating hours looking, I finally found Classic Pumps and, to my relief, they had exactly what I wanted. The customer loved the outcome and complimented my choice of shoes, the Anna and Bella styles.

There have been many photo sessions since then and, whenever possible, I make sure the model is wearing shoes from Classic Pumps. I now have 26 pair in the wardrobe closet and there have been several pair that have been "donated" to the models because they liked them so much (plus, they batted their eyelashes and said "pretty please").

One of those pair, Anna in white, was recently worn at a wedding. Being a friend of the bride/model I was at the wedding and there were more than a few compliments on her shoes. Classic Pumps has always been good to me and has made sure I got what I needed on time. Their attention to detail in making sure the shoes fit the model correctly has also been a big help, since so many model's shoes are often too large.

I love the way they look on the models and will remain a customer for life. My favorites are, Anna, Bella, Lola, Rossi, Nany and Ruby. Favorite colors are black, black patent, white, red and bone.

Keep up the good work, Classic Pumps, and may there always BE a Classic Pumps to supply our favorite shoes."

Palmdale, CA (1/31/2008)

"Your customers are right when they say these shoes get noticed. They get many compliments, especially on the red patent heels. I am very happy with the quality of your shoes as compared to others. Today, on my lunch break, I wandered into the shoe dept of Macys. They have raised the average prices of their heels to around $100. Among the few standard pumps they have, the leather is stiff, the vamps are too high, and they have plastic heels and synthetic soles. The best brand they had was Carlos Santana, who offers thin heels with toe cleavage. Still, none of these were as soft as yours.

I can't believe the difference those Dressfits make inside my shoes! I feel as though my feet are not hitting the ground as hard inside my shoes, and there is less pressure on my feet."

NW Chicago, IL (1/31/2008)

"I offer my congratulations to Classic Pumps for running a business that provides both top quality (and hard to find) product and customer service that is beyond excellent. My wife has searched dozens of stores for those classic styles and incredibly there are none to be found. In addition, any style she would find that came close was of inferior build quality, and very uncomfortable. Mail order, especially for something as size specific as shoes, seemed like it would be a daunting endeavor. However, dealing with Walt proved to be one of the most satisfying purchasing experiences. His expertise, uncommon patience and willingness to bend backwards all contributed to allowing my wife to posses well fitting, comfortable, classic styled high heeled shoes that are of a high quality and a very reasonable price. Thanx Walt!"

Unadilla, GA (1/21/2008)

"I received my dark green Rossi's this evening (12/17/07) and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable on my feet. I'm very happy with my purchase and will be buying more in the future."

Ottawa, KS (12/17/2007)

"I am SO happy! My Rossi shoes in bone arrived this morning and I absolutely LOVE them. Now I wish I had purchased all my other shades in the Rossi heel height. I have naturally thin legs and I thought the higher heel would be unflattering, but it is much more flattering as it gives my legs more definition. Plus my husband is 5'8" and I am 5'6.5", which is another reason I kept the heel lower.

Well, I've gotten over that (19 yrs. of marriage) and from now on the only way to go for me is Rossi. Thank you for providing these shoes!"

Laurens, SC (12/5/2007)

"I got the shoes last Wednesday and wore them to an event on Thursday. I didn't sit down for 4 HOURS! Luckily, I was wearing my Pepe Jimenez Rossi's with the Superfeet arch supports. You were right when you told me about those...my toes stayed where they belonged instead of cramped into the pointy toe.

I wore them next on my trip to London Friday. Perhaps the best thing about these heels is that they feel sturdy. This is especially important to me since, as a flight attendant, I am constantly dragging my suitcase up and down stairs and ramps. In many heels, I feel like I am going to roll an ankle, but these did not give that impression. Needless to say, I am thrilled with my purchase and can't wait to get some sexier, non-work shoes."

Astoria, NY (11/14/2007)

"I have been ordering the Pepe Jimenez Rossi style for over 6 years and I have all the practical business colors. I am a sales manager for a national finance company and I start my day at 6:30 in the morning and I am on my feet probably 80% of my 10-12 hour days. My legs, and feet feel wonderful throughout the day and I have truly never felt more comfortable in any shoe I have owned.

So many people ask me how I can wear such a high heel all day. For me, in my Rossis, it's easy. Thank you for years of helping me and my feet look, and feel good."

Ft. Myers, FL (1/11/2007)

"I am a 25 year old event planner from Manhattan. I have just recently ordered my first pair of Classic Pumps and I LOVE THEM. I was in search of Navy pumps forever and finally found Classic Pumps, I ordered the Navy Lola's. The next pair I want are the Linda or Luna."

Staten Island, NY (3/31/2006)

"Although you probably get all kinds of great feedback, I thought you might want some more. My new Rossi's are absolutely fantastic. Sexy, classy and comfortable; for what more could anyone ask? I have included a photo as it appears that many of your customers do."

Edmontoner, AB (3/20/2006)

Jennifer comments on her DressFits....

"WOW! The DressFits arrived last Friday. I wore them with a pair of my 4" Classic Pumps all weekend to get used to them and could not believe how comfy they made the shoes feel!.

Monday I was planning on wearing the Nanys to the trade show but went with the 4" black patent heels and the dress fits. I spent Monday and Tuesday in 4" heels and on concrete from 8am to 6pm, and I never felt so good in heels.

I have no clue how these things do it, but unless you have worn heels for like 8 hours plus, I cannot explain it."

Toronto, ON (3/8/2006)

"Good Morning Walt.

I finally received the Lucy pumps last Friday night. Let me tell you - what a great way to end the work week. My Lucy’s are fantastic. They fit me like a “glove” so beautifully, they are sexy (I especially love the low insole and outer side the shoe, how low it is). These shoe are so hot, they were made JUST for me. All I can say is that I absolutely love them.

I have been looking for just these shoes for a couple years now as I used to buy Spanish Leather heels but apparently they are not around any longer. Do the Lucys come in any other color or texture? I want to Thank you so much for working with me on getting these shoes as quickly as I did. Thanks for keeping on top of my order. You will be hearing from me soon. Have a wonderful day."

Coconut, FL (2/27/2006)

"The purpose of this note is to give a special thanks to you for inviting me into your home to try on shoes. Most people would think me to be a little crazy to fly from Atlanta GA to Chicago, IL to try on shoes. But, most people do not wear a size 4 shoe. I can get shoes in Atlanta, but not shoes that make me feel feminine while still presenting a professional image. Classic Pumps give me both (femininity and professional image) and on top of all that, they are comfortable and easy to walk in.

What more could I want? Classic Pumps has a new life-long customer. The only thing I can think of to make the shoe presentation better is to offer a classic sandal in addition to your pumps. Summer is right around the corner."

Atlanta, GA (2/15/2006)

Sandra writes about her DressFits for High heels:

"I wear high-heels every day and I've always just assumed sore feet were the price I had to pay. I've been wearing these inserts for a couple of days now, and I haven't even thought about my feet. They've relieved the pressure on the balls of my feet and kept my toes from shifting forward uncomfortably. And I love the fact that I can use the same pair of inserts in all of my shoes. It's a fantastic product."

Aurora, IL (2/15/2006)

"I have four (4) pair of Classic Pumps and LOVE THEM. I wear my Rossis or my Lindas EVERY DAY. Working in a legal environment used to mean every one wore pumps and suits. Unfortunately now many of the women go for comfort rather than looks. If the shoe is fitted properly pumps ARE comfortable and my Classic Pumps fit like a glove.

My feet are wider at the toes and narrow at the heels so when I find a shoe that fits I wear it. PLUS, I get many compliments on the effect they have on my legs."

Houston, TX (12/29/2005)

"I'm a big fan, and so is my HUSBAND! I wear ONLY your heels since my husband Ed started giving them to me as gifts. I can wear my Bella pumps all day ... I have them in many colors ... I call them my "jogging pumps." LOVE them.

I'm usually at home during the day so I don't wear pumps around the house. But when it's nearly time for my husband to come home, I make a pot of coffee for us to share and I slip into one of my pairs of Classic Pumps to meet him at the door.

Now when our dog smells the coffee brewing and hears me clip, clip, clipping around the kitchen in my Classic Pumps he goes and watches out the door, wagging his tail waiting for my husband. He says the whole thing is a GREAT way to be welcomed home each evening."

Barrington, IL (10/27/2005)

"I'm a past customer. Ordered one pair, never worn because they felt a little tight and I was concerned about wearing my "good shoes". How dumb! Last week I wore out my last pair of cheap shoes and reluctantly wore my Classic Pumps.

I get stopped on the street with compliments about my shoes! So pretty, so feminine, so ladylike, etc. And after wearing for a day, they fit perfectly! So my husband insisted I buy some more and wear them all the time instead of my usual "cheap shoes".

What a difference, I'll never go back. Thank you!"

Fresno, CA (10/17/2005)

"I picked up my shoes yesterday, and they're BEAUTIFUL! Thank you thank you thank you! I have a 1/2 size difference between my feet, and the right shoe (which is normally a size 7) is a tad large, so the next pair of shoes I order, and there WILL be a next pair, will have to be size 7 instead of the 7.5 I ordered this time. I love the shape, and the feel, and they're every bit as comfortable as I'd hoped! My boyfriend loves them as well!

Thank you again, and you have a customer for life!"

Harwood, MD (4/21/2005)

"Got the shoes today. Love them! I was so excited and they fit perfectly. I think I have visited every shoe site on the planet . . . from Zappos to Neiman Marcus and everything in between. I love just the basic heel and finally just did a search for "high heels" and your site popped up. Thanks for everything."

Roanoke, VA (3/24/2005)

"Yes it's me again already. I couldn't stop myself I just love these shoes. I read over your fan mail and I must agree 110% with everyone. I have searched high and low for decent shoes since they took the Spanish leather pumps off the market and I have never been happy with any of the other so called high heeled pumps.

I was so excited today when I got my shoes I almost cried. Women's shoes are not meant to have chunky heels or square toes or better yet toes that are so pointed they look like clown shoes and add a whole other size to your foot length.

Please never go out of business because I now have found my shoes again that I have been searching for all these years. God Bless you!"

San Jose, CA (3/9/2005)

"My girlfriend loves the shoes! (Black Kid Rossi size 10) They are a work of art an absolute classic design. This was a belated Valentines Day surprise gift (on top of the other gifts!)As a UK size 8 (US size 10 and a perfect fit) she is quite tall and has delicate feet but long.

The only stiletto heel shoes in the UK she could find had those pointy winkle picker toes on them which didn't look right. You were right the exchange rate is very favourable cost wise to the UK more especially for quality leather goods like these. I shall be placing further orders soon for different colours in patent and kid."

UK/Great Britain (3/3/2005)

"The shoes (Lucy) were great, fit fine, she likes them, I love them!!!! Her feet look so sexy um um um. There is something about good toe cleavage!! Looks like I will be doing Lucy in other colors. Thanks for the advice."

HRF, SC (2/17/2005)

"Dear Classic Pumps,

I just wanted to say thank you for the awesome service that you guys provided for me. not only did the shoes arrive on time but they also fit me pefectly. I LOVE THEM! Trust me you will hear from me again in the future. TAKE CARE AND THANK YOU"

Spokane, WA (1/19/2005)

"I live on top of a hill in northern Italy and give all my shoes a hard time walking up and down its slopes, driving children to school, scouts, football matches (which I then stay and watch) and the like, taking our very energetic dog out, etc etc.

It's a delight at last to have some elegant, moderately high-heeled shoes that are comfortable and can withstand all this. I take size 40 and I prefer to wear unobtrusive, understated heels rather than draw the wrong sort of attention to my feet with absurdly pointy toes, garish colours and clumpy shapes.

I know Italy is thought to be the home of classic elegance but recently, as far as affordable shoes go, it seems to have become the repository of dubious taste and unattractively 'adventurous' design. Your shoes seem to offer relief from this. Many thanks.""

Italy (1/7/2005)

"You were right, I absolutely love my new shoes. I can't wait to order some more. I'm 5'10 and still love to wear high heels. I definitely will stand out in the crowd now. Thanks again, and I will order again soon."

Burns Flat, OK (8/13/2004)

"Thank you so much for all of your help and your expertise. It is really refreshing to find someone who knows the product they sell and cares about the customer. You really do not find that anymore. And most of all thank you for selling regular, classic pumps!!! They have become a dinosaur lately and its nice to know you are around!! Please stay in business!!"

Pittsford, NY (6/30/2004)

"I received my Lucy black patent heels and I am absolutely delighted...and also the Footnotes...I was skeptical about them but they truly work. I cannot tell you how many pairs of black patent stilettos I have gone through trying to find one that FIT right, looked gorgeous and was made well. My search is over! I am now a devoted Classic Pumps fan."

San Diego, CA (5/21/2004)

"Dear Walt & Barb,

The shoes arrived safely and they're pretty darn close to my original allure shoes - just for historical shoe design information. Thank you so much for (1) getting fed up, (2) starting the company, (3) staying in business long enough for me to find you, (4) picking up the phone on a friday night, and (5) shipping great shoes to me on saturday!!

Once I choose my spring/summer wardrobe, I'll be back in touch to order some more colors - and now when women tell me they love my shoes, i can give them a website address!"

Silver Spring, MD (5/4/2004)

"Dear Walt,

My Dad is a long time fan of Classic Pumps and he surprised me with a pair of beautiful black kid Laras as a gift just before our attending a recent concert "date" that I had arranged as a Christmas gift. We had a wonderful evening on the town and I felt so good in my new heels and I know Dad was pleased that I liked them. I mentioned that I probably should have a pair of red heels as well so it looks like I'll be adding to my shoe collection soon. Thanks"

Hollywood, FL (3/30/2004)

"My Rossi shoe arrived today. It is great. The delivery is fast, too. Thank you so much. It is my first classic pump. I love it so much, and I will definitely order more. The cut is even lower than I imagined, but it looks great. Your shoes are very dainty and sexy. I love their soft, delicate little toes. All the contemporary pumps have the ugly long toes, which make women's feet look big and fat. Classic pumps are exactly what shoe-obsessed girls like me look for. The size and width are true, too. Size 5.5 fits me well. At first I was worried for you said your shoes would be a little wide. But it turned out to be not true. They are narrow, exactly what I want."

Decatur, GA (3/21/2004)

"Thank You !! The shoes arrived last night and my Wife just loved them!! Classic Pumps never lets my Wife down... and me as well. I surprised her by letting her see the "Secret's in Lace" catalogue you sent and I just new she would see the two tone shoes on the model in that book and say, "wow, they look great." Well it worked out just like that. After she made that comment, I pulled the shoes out and she went wild. Let's just say the night was interesting. You need to somehow get the word out better about your company. You just can't find this classic shoe anywhere else."

Sicklerville, NJ (2/23/2004)

"Can't thank you enough for my beautiful, sexy new shoes. Thank you, too, for the extremely quick delivery of them. I took the day off from work, and when they came, I didn't want to take them off!

These are what I have been looking for for a long time (all others have chunky heels, long toes, etc. etc.). I have thin (but shapely?) legs, and the shoes your company offers are just perfect for them! (Funny how my family used to make fun of my "bird legs" when I was growing up, but now they seem to be the rage of the office of 100+ people :-)"

"My wife received her camel colored Lolas this weekend, and all we can say is Amazing! They are absolutely beautiful. They are truly a work of art. I have been buying her Lolas ever since I found your website about 5 years ago. The toe cleavage and spike heel is the perfect combination. She truly loves to wear them because they are so comfortable, not to mention the looks she gets.

She loves to wear her Lolas to parties and dancing, but also insists on wearing them to church on Sunday morning. The great thing about the Lola style is that they are super sexy and sophisticated at the same time. We are so happy to see you add new colors to the Lola line. She now can have a pair to match every outfit.

The quality and craftsmanship make these shoes priceless. Nothing else comes close. You now have a very loyal customer who won't settle for anything but her Lolas.

Pasadena, CA (10/28/2003)

"You have no idea of how thrilled I am with my shoes. I have searched all over. During my travels to various cities I have looked for shoes like these and have been very disappointed since I haven't been able to come close to finding anything like these gorgeous, well made elegant shoes.

Wearing shoes like my Lolas makes me feel so feminine and confident. What is marvelous also is how comfortable they are. I don't feel fully dressed and confident unless I'm wearing shoes like the Lolas. Thank you so much for selling them!

I also don't understand woman's fashions! I wouldn't wash my kitchen floor wearing the shoes and outfits that are "in." My Lola shoes, I must, say are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I always needed to break-in shoes regardless of the quality of the shoe. I feel as if these shoes were custom made for me. My feet also thank you.

My Classic Pumps are soooo important to my overall mood. There is nothing worse than wearing uncomfortable, unattractive shoes. I think that looking good and feeling good are extremely important to one's sense of well-being, and when we feel good we then can spread joy to others.

This may sound odd but it is part of my philosophy on how I live my life. I remember attending a spiritual conference in Chicago and one of the speakers was making a very interesting point. She first walked into the auditorium wearing baggy, colorless clothing and old sneakers. She was hunched over with a old skarf on her head and proceeded to walk up to the podium and started her talk with her head lowered.

She then left the auditorium and returned but now she was wearing classy high heels and colorful beautiful clothing with her head held up high and returned to the podium. The point that she was trying to make was that the energy in the room was different when she felt good about herself and confident. She radiated joy and light to everyone. It is difficult to feel joyous and confident when one's appearance and comfort level are not at a high level. We then are not able to reach out to others and create a joyful interaction. Just think of how different the world would be if everyone wore your shoes!

Thank you, thank you so much! Good luck on your mission, and I look forward to placing more orders!

Rochester, NY (8/8/2003)

"The shoes arrived safely last week. They are so very sexy. I don't want to take them off, and have been wearing them everywhere. Getting lots of great looks too. I only knew about the red kid Anna, which John picked out for me, because he likes the look of red heels with jeans. A sexy look even when just out casually. He surprised me with the black patent Luna! I mentioned they were one of the ones I liked best, so he ordered them for me. They are so sexy and comfortable. I have several "little black dresses," and short black skirts, so they'll get lots of use. We'll be ordering again very soon. Trying to narrow down my choices. Almost impossible to do. We're hoping to send in some pictures too!

A word about one of your links, Secrets in Lace. I always shop there. Great stockings to go with your shoes. Real silk stockings too! You should see the black patent Luna's, with silk stockings, and one of my two petticoats from Secrets in Lace. To die for...Thanks for the great service. We'll be back soon.

Mexico, NY (7/8/2003)

"My girlfriend has been kvetching for months about not being able to find a suitable pair of navy pumps for a couple of her work outfits. We have shopped a number of shoe stores in our area, Atlanta, Georgia and have been unable to find a pair of heels that she liked enough to buy. We've hit every major department store, boutique and discount shoe store like DSW and Off Broadway and while we found a couple of styles that were OK, they just didn't have the right style she wanted.

She finally took my suggestion and ordered her first pair of heels from Classic Pumps. Needless to say, she was apprehensive about ordering shoes by mail order/internet. Aside from the security aspect of using a credit card over the net, she was also unsure as to whether the shoes would really fit and the fact they were a bit taller than she's used to wearing to work. She's a petite 5'1 who wears a 0 or 2 in petite clothing and a 5˝ in shoes. She rarely finds a pair of shoes that truly fits without having to use sole or heel pads.

She ordered a pair of Lolas in navy on Saturday, June 28 after spending nearly an hour trying to choose the style she liked the most. She received an immediate confirmation of her order and yesterday, Wednesday, July 1, the shoes arrived. WOW! Talk about service! She didn't open the package until today and was tickled at how pretty they were up close and personal, so to speak. I didn't have to even persuade her to try them on. She strutted her stuff around the house for a while and totally loves them! She is normally used to a lower heel, 3 or 3˝" but after wearing her new pumps, she said she'll have no problem with the higher heel height.

She says they feel so comfortable that they feel like they were custom made for her feet&no need for pads or heel protectors. They don't pinch, they don't bind, they don't slip off her heels when she walks and from my point of view, they show off some of the sexiest toe-cleavage I've ever seen!

She's already circled at least four more styles in the catalogue that accompanied her shoe order and will probably be placing another order next month. I guess her clunky heeled shoes are a thing of the past now (Thank Heavens!!!!!) Thanks Classic Pumps for helping my girlfriend find her long-sought navy pumps and helping make an already elegant and classy lady be even more so!!!!

Kennesaw, GA (7/03/2003)

I have actually had women email me asking where I purchased my shoes. I am Proud to say from CLASSIC PUMPS !! I plan on Purchasing more shoes in the Future. and even mentioning on the Credits of the show , stating " Shoes Supplied by Classic Pumps " Classic Pumps Shoes are the Most comfortable shoes I have ever worn !! Once again, Thank you !!!

"Happy to tell you shoes received in perfect condition. I love them, they are a perfect fit. Having small feet, it is so hard to find my size in heels. They are incredibly comfortable for high heels as well. I am amazed at the quality(supurb) for the price.

Your styles are current and classic and incredibly sexy. Just what a girl wants. You are one of the few sites that offer beautiful shoes in all sizes. And definitely at the best price!

I will be ordering again in the future, thank you so much for your speedy service and excellent communication."

Sydney, Australia (6/16/2003)

"Hi, Walt. Actually, I placed my second order last night and just received my first order today. I ordered the "Lulu" and can't express enough how pleased I am. They are absolutely the most beautiful, elegant shoes I've ever owned...and I own many.

I am so happy to have found Classic Pumps and look forward to doings LOTS of business in the future. I prefer an ankle strap shoe but was not aware of your new custom color order program when I placed my second order for the Lola and Anna, otherwise, I would have ordered those colors in the Lulu. How much longer would it take to receive shoes if custom ordered? I'll get on the web site and get further details when I finish here.

I just wanted to thank you so much for providing such wonderful shoes. As stated in Classic Pumps News regarding your continuing mission to rid the world ugly shoes...I'm all for that! It's been so difficult over the years to find shoes with such style...and you definitely can't find them in local stores ANYWHERE! Thanks so much."

"Just a short note to let you know about the Navy Bella shoes we received. The size 8.5 is a perfect fit. Your advice about Australian sizing conversion was 'spot on' (an Aussie term for correct :-) ).

My wife was speechless when I gave them to her on Tuesday night & she wore them to work on Wednesday. She said they were very comfortable. I cannot find the right word to describe them. Superlatives like fantastic, excellent just don't seem good enough!

Can't thank you enough for everything about the purchase from the initial questions, the problems with my PC software to the VERY prompt delivery to Australia.

I'm sure you will be hearing from us again."

Melbourne, Australia (5/9/2003)

"I had so much fun trying on the 3 pairs of high heels that I received on my last order. I always try on my new pumps using the method that Dana Specht suggests so I tried on the different pairs with stockings and followed her advice. It really does make a difference!

I first tried on my choc-brown and dark grey lola pumps and then tried on my red kid slingback Loris. Although the Lola style is my favorite, I liked the style and comfortable fit of my slingback Lori pumps and decided to wear them that evening. I liked them so much i may end up special ordering a pair in Bone!!

I really love and enjoy wearing high heels. I always feel so comfortable and very confident wearing and walking in 4 inch pumps. Since i often wear heels, I know from experience that my Lola's can get me thru a long day wearing 4 inch heels in BOTH comfort and style. Its great having so many pairs of high heels in my collection, with so many colors and styles, and its a wonderful feeling to know that whatever outfit I wear-- I always have a pair of 4" high heel pumps to go with it.

I usually will try on several pairs of heels and choose the style and color that goes best with my outfit. I truly believe that an outfit isn't complete without a pair of sexy high heels from my Classic Pumps Collection.

Brisbane, CA (5/07/2003)

"I just received my order. I could have cried. They are just so beautiful. When I put them on, I felt like I had died and gone to heaven. I have not felt a pair of shoes this well made in over 20 years!! I could put on a pair of four inch heels and THEY DIDN'T HURT!! The leather is just the softest. Thank you thank you thank you for selling shoes like this. I raved all night about my shoes. I will be telling my girlfriend about your shoes--and your mission--to rid the world of ugly shoes. lol. I love that. It's about time someone did:) Please stay in business. I have finally found somone out there who knows womens shoes!!

I have been wearing my shoes around the house to break them in before my "surprise" and I must tell you that this is so good for me. I have noticed that standing in 4 " heels makes you more aware of your body frame and it forces you to straighten your posture, tuck in your stomach, shoulders back, chest out. No wonder men love women in these. I feel so comfortable, not wobbly at all in these shoes and I gotta tell you.

I have been through a lot in the past few years. A lot. Suffice it to say, my back feels like there is a ton of bricks on them. But, I swear to God, when I put on these shoes, I feel like I am 20 again. My feet look so beautiful. I can understand my husbands foot fetish now, lol. Thank you for helping me stand taller, feel sexier and more confident. Just think, I can still walk in a room and make every mans head turn. Who thought it would be a shoe that could do that? Go figure."

Waverly, NY (3/09/2003)

"There's nothing more attractive on a lady's foot than a sleek, classic pump a la 1950's. I'm constantly asked where I find them yet the trendy manufacturers still ignore the market. No more shoe stores for me. Leave the square toes and clunky heels to the male designers who don't have to wear them! Thanks again."

Palo Alto, CA (2/11/2003)

"Hi Walt ! I hope things are going well for your business. As promised I said I would give the feedback from the girls.

Starting with my sister, she has a big foot and stands at 5' 9". She has always had a problem getting shoes her size in Australia. Consequently, when she gave me her measurement she "hedged" her size about 1/8 to 1/4 inches. She is terrified about wearing tight shoes these days after quite a few horrific pairs of shoes she's worn in the past, here is her story: (Note it is Summer in Australia as this is being written.)

'Graham, thank you for these beautiful shoes. I have not seen a cut like these in a long time. The 4" heel was somewhat awkward at first but I got ready for New Years Eve early so I could break them a little and get used to the height. Remember when I tried them on at your place for Christmas I had bare feet and it was a hot day, they fitted beautifully. On NYE it was rather cool so I decided to wear 'hose to help keep me warm wearing a cool Summer dress. When I slipped the shoes on I was amazed at how comfortable they were even though I was struggling with the height. Mum drove me to the bus stop so I could catch the bus to the city. As I scanned my ticket and walked to the back of the bus to the last remaining seat almost every guy's head turned as I was going past ! I got to the city a little early for the cocktail party and decided to walk down to the harbour and back ( about 800 metres ) to take in the view, the atmosphere of the crowds and get some practice in walking in 4" heels. It's amazing how quick you can adjust to the height and how loose and comfortable the shoes were.

The "toe cleavage" cut ( I love that phrase - where did you get that one from ) combined with the hose was allowing my feet to move forward in the shoes as the leather took on the shape of my toes. The shoes were swinging on and off the back of my heels as I walked providing a nice massage sensation. This was a pleasant experience for me after what I have been through. l felt like an Amazon woman as I walked in to be greeted by my friends, almost all of whom commented about how lovely and feminine my shoes were! By this point I had forgotten the 4" heels so comfortable as they were. The ladies room at that bar has this wall that is all mirror so I was able to actually see my shoes as I walked. They looked quite seductive the way they were swinging off so I thought I'd play a little game with this guy who was definitely watching me. I sauntered up to a bar stool next to where he was when he wasn't looking, crossed my legs and started talking to him. Much to my amusement he couldn't stop looking at my feet ! Loose shoes as they are they tend to hang off my toes when my legs are crossed and I was subconciously (at least at the start) thrusting them on and off. I had this guy going for hours but he ended up being pretty boring. Anyway, had a great time and I can't wait to wear those shoes again. I loved them."

And now my wife's assesment: (She has a tiny foot and has also had trouble getting shoes to fit properly in Australia. )

'These shoes are higher than I can walk in. They look nice though.'

Walt, she wore them to dinner on Dec 26 but I think she needs more time. She is a shy girl at heart and I'm basically trying to get her to be a little more brazen. Give me more time to give her the occasions to wear them and I'll let you know how she's going.

Happy New Year and expect more orders in the future. Maybe the Rossi or Ronda is the go next time."

Sydney, Australia (1/6/2003)

"I just recieved my Rossi's in Navy today in the mail. I can't tell you how THRILLED I am with them! I am a Flight Attendant with American Airlines, and I have searched the country for shoes and have had no luck. Then I found your site. I must say I was a bit skeptical, but decided it was my only hope. Again, I am thrilled! After the holidays, you can expect another order from me for 2-3 more pairs!"

Weston, FL (12/6/2002)

"My new Bella's are wonderful. The PerLei factory have done a brilliant job for you, with the slightly lower cut vamp. Sexy, stylish AND comfortable are three words never (normally) seen in the same sentence ... I've been wearing them all day (I'm just back from lunch so they've been on for six hours straight) and been up & down stairs several times + lunchtime shopping and no aches or pains so far! They have got to be the most comfortable pair of heels I have *ever* worn. I wish I'd ordered four pairs of them instead of just two ... if I'd have known just how difficult it was going to be - back in the 80s when elegant shoes were easy to find - how extinct a species they were going to become, I'd have bought four of every darn shoe I'd ever tried on!! Walt & the Team at Classic Pumps - don't *ever* go away!"

Didcot, UK (11/18/2002)

"I really appreciate all the shoes and the good service. Your company is the best! I just thought I'd let you know that ocassionally I like to chat to various people on shoe-related web sites and I always end up writing something really good about your company or I will recommend your site to people in case they don't know about it.

I really wish more people out there were aware of the styles you sell. I like to promote your company because your styles are so good-looking and hard-to-find in malls. People should stop buying cheap plastic fetish shoes or all those ugly Birkenstocks that look like they're made out of old tires or something. They don't know what they're missing! I was corresponding with a really nice lady that I met on Ebay. She knows you and buys lots of your shoes and she really loves them. She has an awesome personality! I wish there were more people out there like her. Anyway, I beleive that if enough people can get the word out, maybe the future trend of womens shoes will improve.

Thanks so much for all your services."

Hayward, CA (11/14/2002)

"Hi Walt.

I'm wearing my Classic Pumps now as we speak. This is the first day I've worn them and they feel great! Imagine that, a new pair of shoes that don't hurt! WOW! Not only do they feel good, they look just wonderful on my feet and with my wardrobe...I will be ordering more in the very near future. Ladies, ladies, ladies; Don't hesitate, buy those beautiful shoes NOW! You won't be sorry. My only wish is, that I could have found Walt and Barb's Classic Pumps sooner.

Actually everytime I wear them, the shoes get more and more comfortable. One of the young girls in my office liked them so much, she's going to order from you. I thought her comment was pretty impressive because young girls don't care for that style as they prefer to remain trendy with those "clumpy" shoes of today.

If you decide to post this testimonial, women will know exactly what is "not" available to them outside of your store. Believe me I know! I've searched the web enough to find shoes that you offer. Other than yourself, there just isn't anything out there. Also, I'd like to share this with you. A gentle man here at work told one of his co-workers that I always look nice and that's how a lady should look. So people do notice. Hope this helps.

Thank you again Walt! I'm very, very, pleased with my selection (Nany/Black kid) and plan to order more real soon!"

Yucaipa, CA (11/13/2002)

"Over ten years and I'm still ordering. My Lolas are the basis by which I judge all other heels. Tried and true, they will always break in like an old pair of slippers, feeling great and looking better in a short period of time. Nothing turns heads quicker than a fantastic pair of sexy and playful high heels (Lola toe cleavage)! Check out the calendar I had my arm twisted to do at CindyInHeels.com."

"I just received my first pair of classic pumps the other day, Lola in black croc print, and can not wait for fall (just around the corner...yippee!!!!!) to wear them! I have to tell you what a thrill it was to find your website after extensive searches in stores and online to find classy, well made,stylish high heels. They are next to impossible to find, especially wearing a true size 12 which happens to be on the wide side. You warn that if one has a wide foot your pumps will not fit well, but I ripped mine out of the box (the anticipation was killing me), slipped them on with barefeet (always a true test for comfort) and was stunned to find that they were a perfect fit!

Unfortunately, my husband does not share the enthusiasm (absolute passion to tell the truth) that I do for beautiful shoes (he does love when I wear them, however), so I have to be discreet about when I present them as part of my shoe wardrobe. Until the time is right, I hide them in my closet in a clear shoebox (so that I can see and admire my vast collection) and take them out for test runs at every possible chance. I have been wearing my Lola's with everything; pajamas, sweats, and shorts around the house until I can pull them out for full presentation to my husband with my business attire (he loves a classy suit with sexy heels). I look forward to that day when the expense will yet again, be forgiven! Thank you, thank you, thank you for providing me with such a wonderful addition to my collection. Now that I've found you, I'll never let you go!!!!!! I'm already dreaming about my next pair, Lulu!"

"I guess I am a Lola girl. I ordered a pair of Anna in black kid and they just didn't do anything for me. May I exchange them for a pair of Lola, size 7, in black kid? I've got to tell you, before I got hooked on Classic Pumps, if someone told me that I had great 'toe cleavage', I would have thought that they had gone off the 'deep end'. Now I thank them for the complement."

"There is a local place here in San Jose--Pierre Silber, that sell lots of plastic pumps in all sizes. To me, those types of shoes have no quality and are very cheap. I have purchased a few pairs from him in the past and got bored with them. They are not comfortable. Have you ever noticed how the paint chips off those plastic shoes after a couple of years?

Your pumps are definitely the best out there on the market that I've seen and are very good quality and comfortable. The leather will always out last any plastic shoe. Sure, you pay a bit more for leather but the investment is so worth it."

"I received my shoes yesterday and I can't tell you how happy I am!!!!!!!!! They are absolutely perfect and the bone shoes will work just fine. I have given 2 of my friends your website and they will check you out. Hope they send some business your way. I found you/your company to be timely in your delivery of the product I ordered and I can't say enough about how I was treated as a customer. I will certainly be a repeat customer."

"I'll try to be brief since it's a long, corny story. The Spanish Leather high style has been an integral part of my wardrobe since I discovered them about 1987. I once had Nordstrom (in Walnut Creek no less) deliver 18 pairs of them in various colors to my office...and earned the nickname of Imelda in the process. Wearing a size 5 at that time meant that there was usually only 1 pair in each color ordered in a store. If I didn't get there right when a shipment came in I was out of luck. A nice salesman at Nordstrom called every store in the state and had every pair in a 5 sent to him...I bought them all.

In 1990 I got a divorce and went through a 4 year long property settlement dispute. Not that we had a lot of property to divide, I just had a crazy ex- husband. So crazy that 3 years into the the dispute he tried to kill me in his attorney's office with both of our attorneys present...at least they were there when he pulled the gun out, then they ran & left me there with him for the longest 17 minutes of my life. I was off work for about 7 months and when I returned I just didn't feel like I was attractive any more...I didn't wear my infamous pumps for some time afterwards and even requested an inside position instead of my outside sales job that I'd had for years, where I wore leggings and long sweaters and FLAT shoes.

I finally got my life back in order a year later and have pretty much been "normal" since then. I brought out the good old Spanish Leathers and was doing fine until I realized I was running low on my supply. To my dismay, no one carried them anymore. I had a small supply of Caressas, but they were only 3.5". So, I started wearing any other UGLY pumps that half-way resembled my favorites. I called every store in San Francisco and the East Bay, got my hopes up, and then got the calls back that the shoes no longer existed. No one had even heard of Spanish Leather! You could say I became obsessed with finding another source from which I could get them. And it made me depressed. And my sales weren't doing well, because I didn't feel good about my appearance.

Now, you might think I'm exagerating, but it's true. All my life I was little and petite and cute with dancer's legs...never stunning...cute. And everyone loved me in my pumps...they were my trademark.

When I walked into the office wearing my new Anna pumps all the guys noticed the difference in me. I'm happier now knowing that I have someplace to get them!!! I look forward to seeing the smiles on the faces of the guys in the office, and my customers too. You should have seen the looks I got when I wore the Lauras. I'm not an exhibitionist, but I love the attention your shoes get me, the appreciative smiles, and I really believe they make the men in my office grateful to you too!

Told you it was corny. But you asked. Wearing your shoes makes me feel wonderful!"

"I received my Nanys on Friday and couldn't wait to open them and try them on. But, I did wait until I was at home with my husband so that we could share the joy or tears together. What a wonderful feeling! They were a wonderful fit. They looked wonderful! I danced around the bedroom in them and actually laid back on the bed with them on so that we could admire our miracle shoes. We admired them until we couldn't keep our eyes open. I considered sleeping in them, but common sense eventually won out. :)

For so many years I've been forced to wear whatever fit close enough. I used to say I'd take the box rather than wear something that would harm my large, but rather attractive feet. The shoe industry seemed to test my statement by making shoes that looked like they WERE THE BOX!!! I was beginning to feel less and less feminine with each pair of shoes that I had to buy. They were so ugly. They made me feel like a broken down drudge.

I praise God and bless Classic Pumps. I am reborn. I wore them to a double church service and STILL felt good. I have them on at work today. My feet are pretty and they are happy! I just hope we haven't created a monster :) I'll be ordering my next pair within the month. My husband has chosen several from the accompanying catalogue. I think we're becoming "shoe" people! Thanks again."

"Thank you so much! I just received your black kid Anna style pumps, and they are soooo beautiful! I really can't believe how comfortable they are too, being four inches and all. I'm so excited--my mother and I have both been looking for nice women's shoes everywhere for a long time now, and there's no such thing in the stores. Unless one of us decides to go as Frankenstein some Halloween, there is no way we would buy anything they're selling right now! I can't tell you how thrilled we both are to have finally found somewhere to go for beautiful shoes. I'm going to tell everyone I know about your site...hopefully it will catch on, and there will be fewer Frankensteins in the world!"

"I picked up my first order from Classic Pumps from the post office this weekend. I'm SO happy! Quality is as wonderful as it was in the olden days of pretty, toe-cleavage showing shoes, they are true-to-size, and the 3 styles I purchased (Bella, Rossi, and Rosa) are all so beautiful and comfortable, that I will be hard pressed to choose for future orders! I just wish you would sell the Rosa in more colors! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!"

"I came across your ad in a magazine while having my hair done in a salon. Before requesting your catalog, I first sent away for the "Sexy Shoes" catalog. I should have known better, they certainly were not the type of shoes that I would have worn. Classic Pumps are exactly what I have been looking for for years and are the type of shoes that are no longer for sale out in the general market. I don't care if spike heels are not in style, I like em!"

I purchased your Rossi Red size 4. The first time I wore them, which was to a wedding & reception which you know can last for hours, my feet were not sore at all!!!!!, brand new shoes!!!!"

"My girl friend received her Rosa sling backs only about 3 days after they were ordered. She normally can't wear over a 2.5" heel but the 3.5" was perfect for her and she loves them. So do I. I think that I might get kissed when I see her. The quality of these shoes is just great and she felt like they were old friends even before walking across the room. Bravo Classic Pumps."

"It was well worth the $20.00 for the over night shipping. They fit and do they look good on her. I am sure their will be many more nights like last night. I think the oysters and candles help set the mood. It is amazing what a sexy pair of shoes can do. Thanks Classic Pumps."

"Luna just arrived and they are going to rank in the top three with my black patent Lulus and my red kid Lindas!! Great new design that is even better looking in person. Being a sexy shoe junkie, it is a wonderful day when you get a GREAT -looking fix! Thanks again for keeping my feet the best looking in North Houston! Oooooo, I can't wait to wear them!!"

"Hi Walt!!

Classic Pumps are Simply the Best!! I arrived home from work on Friday to find a parcel waiting for me - can't believe my lovely new shoes arrived so quickly. I was grinning all evening :-) And the next day, my sister told me I was like a teenager with a crush! She has a point.

I am in love - my feet look wonderful! I cannot believe how comfortable the Bella shoes are - I've worn them every day since they arrived and no problems at all! And so easy to walk in, too ... *and* they make you walk properly ... no slouching in these babes!

The Rossi are a little uncomfortable - a bit tight across the 'knuckles' but I am wearing them around the house to break them in a little - shouldn't be too long. Walt - I have to tell you ... I am over 40 and overweight but these shoes make me feel like a supermodel. Eat your heart out, Cindy, Claudia, Linda, etc. etc.!

You were right about the Rossi quickly becoming comfortable by conforming to the shape of my foot... as I'm sure you knew you would be! I wore them all day yesterday around the office - constantly getting up & walking around etc. etc. (usual office stuff!)and no problems at all except right at the end of the day after a one hour drive home when it was a joy to slip them off. Otherwise, no problem!

Lots of compliments - mostly from chaps! - and have plugged your name relentlessly to the women (and some of the men!). Keep up the good work - I'm already thinking about what I'm going to order next!

Also, think I have a convert - my sister says she'll be ordering a pair or two when I next order. Thank you Walt and Classic Pumps - my search for stylish shoes is finally over!"

"I got the shoes before Christmas. I have worn them everywhere and have received the best compliments on them. They are wonderful! Thank you so much for exchanging the other pair for me. I will definitely order more!"

"Hi....Walt ...

The shoes arrived on Jan. 3rd ....WOW that was quick !!! They are better in the flesh, than I ever imagined, & look every bit as good as they look on your website!.....& are very sexy & comfortable to wear! I can't wait to wear them out. These shoes were the very first thing we have ever bought over the Internet. We honestly thought yours looked the most secure & professional company out there so we gave you a try......we were not disappointed!

So, anyone out there feelling nervous about ordering...DON'T BE ! We will be ordering more very soon. So girls...please lets all keep up the good work that Classic Pumps are doing & stop buying ugly clumpy shoes. Thanks again, Walt."

"My girfriend cannot believe how well the Nanys fit. If it weren't cold here, she would wear them everywhere. Yesterday, she told me she was about to wear them out Xmas shopping but decided against it because it might rain. In her shopping, I know she intended to hit several large malls. If that isn't a testimonial I don't know what is."

"Hi Walt,

The shoes arrived this afternoon. The shoes are perfect and better than what I thought. Thank you, and you will be hearing from me soon, after my party on Saturday to order more shoes.

I could not believe that for 3 weeks I have been going crazy searching so many stores and could not find any delicate shoes. All the shoes out there look "Herman Munster" shoes. What happened to the trend of delicate shoes and elegance?? Well, as I was at the end of my rope, I got on my computer and typed in 4 inch pumps- and there you go- your site took me by surprise. I can't understand why no one sells these shoes anymore.

I started wearing these 4" shoes when I started dating my husband who is 6 feet 4 and I am only 5 feet 14 years ago. I became pregnant 5 years ago with my two kids and just ran around in 2" low-heel pumps. But now that my kids are 1 & 4 , I told myself that I am ready to return to my 4" heels."

"Walt,

I would just like to say that the Spanish Leather shoes are the most comfortable high heels that I have ever worn and now that you have introduced me to Footnotes I feel like I can walk for miles in my heels. I can't wait to get my first pair with the toe cleavage, (Lola) you know when a woman feels like she looks good and have sex appeal, she is on top of the world. Well, that's exactly how I feel in my Spanish Leather high heels - ON TOP OF THE WORLD! (smile).

I let one of my coworkers try my Footnotes in her shoes. She liked them so much that SHE ordered a pair for herself.

Oh! I've been told that I look good too."

"Walt, this letter is long over due. I've purchased heels from Classic Pumps since 1995 and they are the sexiest shoes I wear. Besides, they are leather and they tend to mold to my feet after prolonged wear. I wear the Lola and the Lily styles. Both are 4" heels. I'm constantly asked how I wear high heels...It's the comfort !! As far as the fashion, I don't want to buy what everyone else is wearing. These shoes get LOOKED AT.. There's a 100% different reaction when I wear your shoes, especially from men. I'm a completely satisfied customer."

"In the past I have purchased several pairs of your wonderful shoes for my wife and I still get a special thrill everytime she puts on a pair. We are both especially fond of her Lisa's, however we really need a dressy event for them. Thanks for keeping beautiful shoes in the forefront. I will be a loyal customer forever!!"

"I just got my new Rossi shoes in this morning and they are a dream come true! I have been searching for the perfect pump for several years and my boyfriend found Classic Pumps for me on-line. I used to wear pumps like this when I was 21. I just turned 40 this April and have been searching for something that made me feel feminine and sexy. Your pumps are wonderful. I can't wait for my next order to come in! Thanks!

PS. I just started a new job today and they made my first day at work perfect because I felt so confident and 'myself' in them. "

"Claudine's taupe Rossis arrived yesterday. The fit is fine, and she loves the color. I'm more practical, meaning I'm most impressed at the speed! 2.5 days from order to delivery is pretty much a record for us with any kind of online purchase. Claudine's purchases now total 4 pairs. She's beginning to savor a 25% discount! Regards..."

"I just wanted to add my "kudos" to the list of customer testimonials. My SO ordered me a pair of the Nany pumps before our trip to NYC. They arrived promptly and were exactly what we had hoped they would be. I wore them throughout our long weekend of sightseeing in Manhattan, which was quite risky in new shoes. In fact, the other ladies in our group couldn't believe I chose to wear pumps while sightseeing. (Ordinarily I wouldn't, but my SO loved me in them so much and I felt so sexy in them I couldn't resist.)

Anyway, the shoes were amazingly comfortable and even became more comfortable as I broke them in. You can expect several orders from the other women in our group who were amazed that high heels could be so comfortable. I have enclosed a photo of the Nany pumps that my SO took in our hotel room before we left to see "Phantom of the Opera." Feel free to use this letter and the photo on your web page. I am a satisfied customer."

"This past weekend I had a baby shower to go to and I wore my 3 1/2" Rossi black pumps. When I walked in the front door, I stepped backward and the heel of my shoe went into the air conditioner vent and it was stuck to the point that I had to take my foot out of the shoe and pull hard about 3 times to get it to come loose. Much to my surprise there isn't a scratch, a tear or a dent in the leather on the heel of that shoe. Either the leather on the shoes that you make is that good, or the big man in the sky gave me a break because I've just bought 3 pair of shoes from you and have a 4th pair on backorder. Just thought you would want to know."

"Thanks for my shoes...they are a gorgeous color of winter white! Hopefully once my husband and I finish having this house built I can start adding to my shoe "collection" once again. I have the basic colors but it's always fun to have matching shoes for everyting in your closet! Thanks again and PLEASE do not ever go out of business. I have been wearing high heel shoes ever since I was in high school and not only are these shoes flattering to legs and feet but they are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn."

"As a person who leaves a larger than average footprint, finding fashionable, good looking shoes is not easy. But then I found Classic Pumps and I've been a loyal customer since 1997! Not all shoes look great in the larger sizes, but my Classic Pumps in size 12 are just as pretty to me as those in a size 7. The all-leather quality is outstanding and the shoes are comfortable all day long! And I never fail to tell people where I get my shoes!"

"I'm from Las Cruces, New Mexico. I am petite and have small feet. I wear a size 4 in high heels. I love shoes and I have always had a very hard time finding high heels that fit. The smallest shoes I have found in department stores are a size 5, which of course are too big. I searched the Internet trying to find a company that carries size 4 high heel shoes. I ordered a pair from one company I found on the Internet but the shoes were not a true size 4, needless to say they were too big and I had to return them.

Then I found the Classic Pumps website. I was surprised to see that the smallest size that they carried was a 3.5. I was leery because I have never heard of a size 3.5 shoe. I placed an order for the Lulu high heels in a size 4 and received my shoes within a week. The shoes are perfect, I love them and everyone at work likes them too. My boyfriend loves them too but he thinks they're a little too sexy for work but I don't care, I still wear them, they make me feel sexy. I am very happy with my shoes and happy that I found the Classic Pump website. Needless to say I have placed another order for shoes, this time the Ruby style."

"I recently moved from Los Angeles to the Pacific Northwest to be with Shelly, my significant other. If your "mission" is to stamp out ugly shoes, you should consider establishing a field office here. These women must shop for shoes where their grandmothers do! Anyway, to make life better, I got Shelly a pair of Rossis. What a difference! She still wears her "clunkers" to work but when we go out, wow. Thanks again."
