• Slingback

The slingback is similar to the pump. This dress shoes usually in that it can have a rounded or pointed toe and usually has a heel, but it doesn't wrap all the way around the heel like pumps usually do. Instead, it has a narrow strap that is pulled up over the heel, leaving the rest of the heel exposed.

• Mules

Mules are shoes that slide onto the foot and do not cover the heel or the back of the foot at all. These aren't considered dress shoes unless they have a heel.
