9 Reasons to Buy Womens Wedge Shoes

We've all been there. We bought that skirt suit and are dreading the purchase of a pair of high heels to go with them. As we trudge our way towards the store to shell out our hundred bucks images of blistered, broken and battered feet assail our minds. As we pass the low 1 inch heels, longingly, we invariable buy the two to four inch killer stiletto shoes. You know the ones I mean. The ones that make you feel like your toes are in a meat grinder. The ones that have you standing all day wishing your feet belonged on anyone else but you. It's nothing but a miracle that women haven't revolted against the designers of stiletto heels. But they just make our legs and feet look so good, it's not wonder we're all shoving our feet into those torture devices. So why have we been avoiding the heels that make our feet look fabulous and still feel fantastic? Shoebuy.com

The wedge shoe has been around since the 30s. It was invented for the woman that wanted height without the pain of a toe squishing stiletto heel. Unfortunately, it recently has gotten a bad name for anything but casual wear. Let's all remember it was invented by a man that went to school to learn anatomy just so he could make a better fitting, more comfortable, shoe for women to wear. This same man was responsible for making shoes for Hollywood starlets to walk down the red carpet in. The wedge shoe is not strictly casual. Which brings us to number 9:

9.) The womens wedge shoes come in a variety of styles including formal and casual. There are beautiful beaded wedges that are perfect for your wedding dress. Likewise there are gorgeous cork heeled wedges with canvas tops that are perfect for your favorite broken-in jeans.

8.) Wedge shoes are comfortable. They were developed for women to wear in in place of the high heel. And they have a wide array of heels to assure comfort, including wood, rubber and even plastic.

7.) Wedges have a natural arc to shape which emphasizes the muscle in a woman's leg. This makes her leg look amazing in a skirt or dress. (perfect for dresses with a slit in the back or side)

6.) They're available in every color of the rainbow. You can find purple wedge shoes, black wedge shoes, pink or any other color of wedges you need for the perfect combination.

5.) A wedge shoe has a lot of sass or just the right amount of austerity, depending on the style of shoe. Wear a espadrille shoe (canvas top, woven heel) and the shoe is sassy enough for a chic little skirt. Pair a lovely silver wedge shoe with the same skirt and you'll be good to go out on the town. That same silver shoe will look fantastic with a prom or other formal dress.

4.) Wedges are being made by every designer in the business. They're coming back into popularity and are appearing on more and more women as they realize the comfort and style is perfect for so many occasions.

3.) There are wedge platform shoes available in just about every style imaginable. The platform wedge is the additional comfort and security a woman like me needs to not fall over. While some women are comfortable in tall shoes, I'm only comfortable if my toes and heels match (or come close) in height.

2.) They're sexy. There isn't much more to say after that statement, but it's a fact. A fact that most designers now realize. If you take a look at the runways of the fashion weeks from earlier this year, you'll see a wide range of models wearing the wedge shoe.

1.) They have all the class and style of any other shoe, but the distinction of being a unique style of shoe. They fall in the category of flat, platform and high heel. There aren't many shoes that fall into every category of shoe. This means they're available in every height, style, color and size you can imagine.

Now is there any reason not to buy a wedge shoe?
