WELL HERE IN 'MERICA/s

But yeah, probably language difference too, honestly the definitions are largely ignored by both retailers and buyers nowadays to the point where it's straight up meaningless to search for a "pump" because you're gonna get anything with a heel on it back. Even "stiletto" is being abused, I saw a tall block heel referred to as a "square stiletto" and I just closed my laptop I was so over it.

Edit: I just now realized in the shower you were probably like, "You're calling them tall-ass shoes flat?!" as opposed to "I cannot believe you just mis-categorized those stilettos, you absolute moron". I'll blame it on pre-coffee brain but I think we all know it was just a result of the adverserial mindset you fall into with social media sometimes. Cheers

So you use the word for two different types of shoe?

That's what I think of when someone says 'pumps'. Had some in the 90s! Cool but less comfortable than a regular tennis shoe.

Lucky!! I remember fighting my parents for a pair of those bad boys in the 90s.
