I'm gonna go ahead and coin a new fashion term here: the bumpie. A "bumpie" would be the combination between a bootie and a pump, a slightly more covered heel, if you will. I know there's something flying around the internets called the "shootie" but I'm not so sure I'm sold on that one. Shoe + bootie sounds like it's one step above a Converse high top in my opinion. Like a jodphur. Or an ankle-height loafer. In other words, not cute. The above bumpie is from Loeffler Randall ($475, loefflerrandall.com) which is a genius brand for several reasons, not in the least of them being that they know a mid-height heel needn't look geriatric. I love this shoe, excuse me, bumpie. It takes the frumpy secretary out of the pump without trying too hard.
