Though not every winter ensemble calls for soaring heels, some outfits practically require them. And before you get all "those hurt my feet," we all know that pain is beauty.

Plus, myriad products exist that make wearing heels a more comfortable endeavor, like these Apara Heel Softies ($11.95 for a 3-pack).

A pretty pair of pumps easily catapults your outfit from doleful to delightful. In addition, pumps improve your posture and slenderize your calves, thighs and even gluteus maximus.

You can wear them with well-fitted, quality slacks and a crisp button up, a feminine pencil skirt and opaque tights or a shimmery holiday cocktail dress and statement jewelry.

Below are 6 pairs of pretty pumps, all priced under an easy $35.
