Leave it to a brand named "Modern Vintage" to completely update the classic pump. The "Zulma" heel should win awards for the practical colors, innovative style, and comfortable heel. The beige leather is accentuated by a gold leather trimmed front, while the back contains the same gold leather in the form of a slingback. The textured gold band in the back truly transforms this shoe without taking away any of the charm of the classic pump.
