Celebrities love nude pumps for their leg-lengthening effects. Fashionistas love them for their versatility—a bone, beige, taupe or tan pump is the perfect complement to this season's popular bright colors and summer's must-have dresses. I love a nude shoe because you can find them cheap and wear them often, which makes them a budget-wise fashion buy. Here, 10 fabulous nude pumps under $100 to complement every skin-tone and fit every budget.
