How do you classify any high heels or platforms as pumps or sandals?
superboy418 asked:
I know pumps and sandals can be open-toe or closed-toe with or without straps. However, I often seen open-toe high heels with a closed back being labeled as sandals instead of as pumps; and I sometimes see open-toe high heels with a open-back being labeled as pumps and not as sandals.

Technically, the first is correct, the second is not. The open toe high heels with a closed back are peep-toes. The open toe high heel with an open back is a sandal, but if it has a strap it is a sling-back.

Confusing! I know.
