<p>Oh, wow - Manolo made a shoe named after me. :D</p>

<p>I just bought a pair of nude leather pumps @ 2 months ago. They are by Trotters and they were $99, so definitely mid-lower range, but for my budget…perfect! They are also on the lighter side of taupe, nude, beige. I would say the heel is approx. 2 “. I really can’t wear 3” heels anymore. I love them and they go with many different dresses and fancier pants. Nude sounds really nice for Emerald Green.</p>
<p>Here is a link to what I bought. Nude patent leather. Comfortable & not too expensive.

<p>These are not only nice looking but are VERY comfortable!</p>
<p>For something less costly…naturalizer a are usually comfortable.</p>

<p>Those jimmy choos and manolo blahnik shoes…I cannot imagine what it might feel like to wear $595 shoes!
Thank you everyone for your advice/suggestions. I do only wear relatively high heels for cocktail type events because I am short and would be invisible otherwise…pain be damned!! I have almost totally decided on the JS darker nude pair.</p>
<p>Just for…check out those naturalizer in the previous post. Comfy. And we’ll priced.</p>
<p>I have the Cole-Haan shoes in the link that thumper posted. I really like them and agree they are very comfortable.</p>
<p>Nude means nude for your particular skin tone … And I’d absolutely go with patent over leather. </p>
<p>Personally, I’d also go either slingback / open heel or peep toe / closed heel (personal preference) if possible. Great wardrobe classic, you’ll wear forever. </p>
<p>^^^ I was hoping that you would weigh in!</p>
<p>Nude heels are a staple, and especially great when nothing else seems to go. I have a couple of pairs of nude patent pumps that I’ve worn numerous times, but I just bought a pair of nude suede Ferragamo pumps - limited edition and not advertised, so I can’t post a link. They are among the prettiest shoes I’ve ever owned…the color is incredible. I could honestly wear them everyday, but they are so great that I’m limiting my wearing so that I can keep them in perfect condition.</p>
<p>Ferragamo. Yummy. These ones?

<p>No…they’re limited edition and not available anywhere but in NYC and LA. The edge is scalloped and very feminine. You would never know they are Ferragamo - no bow or iconic detail. Really comfortable and the color is the exact shade of my fading tan…</p>
<p>They must be gorgeous.</p>
<p>Romantica?</p>
<p>Apologies if I’ve gone overboard searching. It’s one of those things I enjoy doing. :)</p>
<p>For a cocktail dress, nude satin, strappy, high-heeled sandals look more elegant than pumps</p>
<p>I just had this conversation with some friends recently as I have an event to go to next month, which states ‘cocktail attire’. I knew about the event, but bought a dress before I saw the invitation which stated cocktail attire, and was concerned that the dress was not dressy enough. So I showed my friends a picture of the dress, with the new, very beautiful pumps I bought, and their consensus was that cocktail dress includes a wide-ranging description nowadays. They felt that the shoe I picked made the dress dressier an appropriate for the evening, although they also said I could get some jewelry that would dress it up even more, which I had planned to do (or rather, will put D1 to work on it, since she helped me pick out the dress). And again, the shoe is a suede pump with a kitten heel. So I think classy pumps would work with a cocktail dress.</p>
<p>I have the Cole Haan with an open toe. Yes comfy:). Norstorms anniversary sale several years ago. </p>
<p>Some of the Cole Haan shoes have Nike Air technology in them and make them extremely comfortable!</p>
<p>I think that nude/beige is a good choice to complement emerald and many other colors. </p>
<p>LOL, I’m usually in no hurry to spend $600 for a pair of trendy shoes. I wait for sales and deals, e.g. Outnet, Yoox, and others, but the shoe is destined to become a favorite, I can justify spending a bit more. These are my prized JCs that became my favorite go to pair:</p>

<p>I wore them with my favorite emerald dress to watch a play recently :)</p>
<p>Gourmetmom, I tried on a pair of black Ferragamo pumps at Bloomies the other day, and they felt heavenly! I just did not think at the time that I needed another pair of black shoes… Now I’m kicking myself. Can’t find that pump anywhere - they did not have the typical Ferragamo bows etc. either. BTW, thank you for your recommendation of Varaa - I still wear them with my pantsuits and beyond, and they still look as new and feel wonderful. Ferragamo’s patent leather is durable yet buttery soft.</p>
