Hi,
pump: a lightweight, low-cut shoe without fastenings for women.
Is common to say "low-cut shoe" instead of "low-cut clothing/dress"?
What does "low-cut" mean when it comes to shoe?
Is it common to say "low-cut shoe" instead of "low-cut clothing/dress"? Yes, sure.

They can have high or low heels, bells, whistles, lights, brakes, a plasma screen, an iPad and a smartphone - whatever you want. I am astounded.
This is what I always thought of as a low-cut pump. Having never worn them, I admit that I am no authority.
