25 Pointed-Toe Shoes That Will Keep Your Style on Point

The revival of ‘90s fashion over the past several years has brought with it a strong appreciation of shoes with chunky soles, minimalist straps, and, quite famously, square toes. But with all due respect to the angular silhouette, it's pointed-toe styles that continue to have the most universal and timeless appeal.

Seen across flats, boots, and heels in the current market, pointed-toe shoes tend to remain popular despite fashion’s other cycling trends. This is thanks to the shape’s ability to lengthen the appearance of the legs, whether it's a subtle almond or sharp spike on the shoe. Even extra-long trousers that touch the floor look intentional and chic with a tiny triangular peak of a shoe from the hemline. Meanwhile, skirts and dresses of all lengths needn’t be styled with a heel when a pointed-toe flat can create the look of long legs, without the challenge of balancing on stilettos.

Ahead, explore a variety of pointed-toe shoes that are bold and exciting, yet timeless in silhouette.
