Question about MUST HAVE shoes

I got a gift card to DSW for my birthday. I am looking to buy two pairs of shoes. What would YOU consider to be your must-have pair of shoes, something classic and timeless and can be worn with a LOT of outfits for work and going out? (I am not in need of casual shoes at this time.)

TIA!

ETA: Also would you consider round-toe shoes or pointy-toed shoes to be more "classic"?

1. Basic black pumps
2. Black open-toe pumps

For me, pointy is more classic. I've been wearing them for years. I don't wear many round toe shoes.

Re: Question about MUST HAVE shoes

Must have:

- 1 pair of black high heel.
I am more of a pointy toe type shoe but find the peep toe really cute. And I find "some" rounded toe cute.


2nd pair: Toss between
1 pair of boots or 1 pair of open toe shoes (does not have to be heels) but like strappy sandals


So I really need 3 pairs.
