Round toe or pointed

Hi girls

I have noticed that the rounded toe style of high heels are back in fashion not that they ever went far away, I have a pair or two in the wardrobe, but I saw this gorgeous little pair of black patent high heels, round toe and had to buy them. While shopping I saw the same pair with a little platform and if I had enough money I would have had them too.
My question to you girls is which do you prefer and think look the sexier pointed or round toe. I love them both.

Love Sarah G

For me it's pointy toe or nothing on a pair of high heels.

The only exception is square toes on a nice pair of boots.

I'm with Roxanne on this one. Not always the best option for my feet I know, but HH undoubtedly look better with the pointed toe in my humble opinion.
All my shoes/boots have pointed toes apart from one single pair of knee boots(my interview boots) but they're not stiletto heels they're a block type heel.

Round toe with super-arch for me...
by the way, if you happen to come across one, would you be kind enough to let me know where to get them? Thanks

pointed, pointed and pointed

. although i now - because of the fashion-trend - have 3 pairs of round ones, pointed looks much much better (or should i say sexier).

especially when worn with jeans - pointed ones fit much better i think.

No doubt, pointed toe are more fashionable, especially high heel boots which i wear them often. However I do have few pair of round toes boots made of Gucci and Prada, they are more classic look and mature.

generally i agree that pointed are preferable but there are some very nice black patent round toes shoes around at the moment. i didn't like them when they first came out but they won me over and i have a couple of pairs now. they're quite cute and i actually think they look good with formal trousers. but then i am a bit of a fashion victim lol.

Many of my most attractive and classy shoes are not stilettos nor pointed toes. My lifestyle is rather active and wildly varied lending itself to a variety of styles and attire. I basically refuse to wear sandals, making them a non issue in my preferences.

A nice wine colored T-strap pump with a sculptured very short semi-pointed toe and tapered HIGH stacked heel, for a casual Fall fun afternoon and evening party on the houseboat.

A dark brown casual with a buckle strap across the round toe and a bold (not clunky) HIGH stacked heel for a day in Gatlinburg.

A black pair of ankle boots with a semi-pointed toe and HIGH tapered solid heel, for riding ATV's thought the local foot hills of the mountains.

A pair of black pumps with a very short pointed toe and very HIGH stiletto heels accented with an ankle strap, for an evening at a "Pops" or big band concert.

I'm not a slave to fashion or trends. If I like it I'll buy it, if not, the store gets to keep it.

The rediculously long pointed toe shoes in recent style are not for me. I believe with appropriate attire for a particular occasion, round toe, pointed toe, or in-between can be presented with a touch of class.

Are we talking slightly pointed or those 1 foot long points? I'm sorry but there is no reason for toes points that long except if you're gonna be evil to someone or be in the wizard of oz.

Round toes all the way for me - I cant stand pointy toes, on me or anyone else. Takes away the appeal of heels for me completely, but im not sure why. They (pointed toes) look sort of businessy, like dominant women would wear them or something. I wish there were more round toes available without platforms at the moment :(
