Brands and Styles of the Womens Wedge Shoes
Wedge shoes are all about glamor and style. Finding brand name womens wedge shoes and designer wedges in various colors and styles is as easy as clicking your mouse. From casual to formal, there is the perfect wedge for every occasion, but the name of the game is finding the perfect shoe for that perfect outfit.
As I mention on my home page (and a few thousand times throughout the blog), Ferragamo studied anatomy so he could design a the perfect shoe. The wedge shoe came out of that research. So when you slip on those slinky wedge sandals, your foot is cradled beautifully which is the number one best reason to choose it instead of say, a stiletto or flat.
I'm a gal that loves glamor. Which explains this blog, right? (Even the wedge sneakers are pretty glamorous when I write about them). Considering what the wedge shoe represents, I think they are the perfect shoe for my closet. I also think they're the perfect shoe for yours.
Ferragamo had it right when he built his empire on Hollywood shoes. When you think Ferragamo you think of the wedge and cork heels. And you cant think of Ferragamo without glamor, after all he is the designer who hand made shoes for the starts of the 30's, 40's and 50's. He's also the only shoe maker to have an entire museum dedicated to his shoes. There are other shoe museums, of course, but they all feature numerous designers. Mr. Ferragamo has one all to his self. There is a reason for that, his shoes are amazing, and his invention is astounding. Glamor and comfort, it's exactly what every woman needs.
If you're really looking for glamor, there are some wicked sandal wedges with rhinestones along the bands that can really make your feet feel sexy and sassy. Contrary to what some people think, a beaded shoe isn't necessarily an evening only shoe. It is possible to wear a great set of beaded or rhinestone shoes with a pair of jeans. Mostly it's a sandal with split toe style, however, occasionally you can wear a peep toe wedge designed with rhinestones or other embellishments, with casual slacks or jeans. It really all depends on the shoe.
More interested in a basic casual wedge or a winter formal style? I would choose a closed toe wedge for a universal style. A closed toe means height and style, but also it means year round usability. Most of the closed toe wedges are going to be casual, but, thank goodness for the Internet, you can find styles of formal closed toe styles too. A classy closed toe wedge goes with work and play. There are some formal shoes which are droolworthy, I've included a link here, and which really look nice with party dresses or cocktail dresses or just a pair of slacks and a blouse. (not the ones above, those really are strictly semi-formal and formal).
- Look sharp and sexy in this pointed toe wedge from Pour La Victoire™.
- Leather, suede or patent leather upper.
- Perfect for evening, work or play
If you're looking for funk and style, go for a platform wedge. Perfect with jeans, or skirt, a platform heel can really spice up your outfit and make it playful. However, most platform shoes don't work well with formal dresses, especially wedge styles, but the new Gucci and Dior ones are oo la la pretty and belong with a sexy cocktail dress, a business dress, every dress... I'm taking it too far again.
Peep toe wedges are come in a mix of casual and dressy. While they're generally conservative, we have the Internet to thank (once again) for a selection of cute and quirky wedge shoes.
Price Ranges
For great wedge heels that don't cost an arm and a leg, and are casual, brands like Crocs, Steve Madden and Clarks are the way to go. Steve Madden has some awesome shoes for women that are really pretty. I found this one pair that reminded me of the frilly number that Carrie bought when she went “hello lover” to the shoes in the window. They aren't pink, but they are that same ruffled look (only taller and multicolored, or black).
Expect to pay upwards of $300, and average around $700 for brand names like L.A.M.B, Zanotti, Proenza and designers from the runway. If you truly love these shoes, some of their funkier styles are usually on sale online. Ebay is always a safe bet in that case! =) But if you want a shoe you'll treasure forever, I suggest paying whatever having that in your closet is worth.
