Pointed Toe vs Round Toe

You love the sexy look of a pointed toe but are afraid that the narrow tip will pinch your toes? You think that a round toe pump will be more comfortable than a pointed toe?

Well actually either a pointed toe or a rounded toe can be comfortable depending on the fit. A last is the form used to make a shoe. It determines the volume and shape of the shoe. When a pointed tip shoe is a proper fit you should feel just as comfortable as in a rounded tip shoe. The problem comes from when the fit is not proper like when there is too much volume so the upper does not brake you from sliding forward into the tip and your toes end up in the space not meant for toes. When you slide forward your toes suffer more in a pointed toe last so the pointed toe last gets a bad reputation.

Volume is so important in keeping you from sliding into the tip of a shoe that we offer five different volumes and proportions so you have the highest chance of finding the right fit in Enrico Cuini heels. We also help you find the right fitting with our virtual fitting appointments.
