Just to make it all even more convoluted, the word “pump” in British English can also refer to a flat shoe (not a sneaker). I’m pretty sure this usage is getting more and more uncommon, though.

I’ve heard sneakers called court shoes, because of basketball, tennis, etc., being played on a ‘court’. Maybe that’s the usage that Lynette has heard as well. I live in the USA. When I started really getting into shoes (my bank account refers to that time in its life as the long dark years ), I read blogs from across the pond and realized that they are called court shoes, rather than the term ‘pumps’ that is more common here.

They’re called “court shoes” because they first became fashionable in the Royal courts of Europe. “Pump”is Amerian usuage, “court” is what we’d call them here in the UK. I’ve never heard athletic shoes being referred to as “court shoes”, but of course, I don’t live in America!

In my world a court shoe is an athletic shoe. I’ve wondered for a long time what makes a pump a court shoe.

I think I would find them sexier if the heel was higher. Just seems to me that wearing lipstick on your shoe says things like, sexy, vixen, siren, etc., which makes me think of like a 6 inch heel or something.

Much nicer without the lipstick. What's the point of it? I don't understand. Maybe it's removable. .-= Tracey´s last blog ..Books, books and more books =-.
