Wedge Shoes Guide

Archive for the ‘wedge boots’ Category

Women looking for professional but stylish options for footwear have the option of a platform wedge boot design from any number of major fashion companies and shoe retailers. A platform wedge boot elevates the heel by as little has half an inch or as much as four inches to accompany skirts or jeans. The boots are tailored from leather or suede and models can range in cost from only twenty dollars to as much as one thousand; the designs are for occasions ranging from business casual functions to footwear for a night out. Deciding which style of platform wedge boot is best for you is simply weighing your shopping budget against comfort and style preferences.

Many platform wedge boot designs are trendy while having a vintage look. Korkease - Womens - Alva manufactures a black wedge boot with a timeless look that can trend towards any degree of professional or personal. With a four inch heel rise and full support in the form of a 3/4 inch platform, the Kork-Ease Alva boot gives the ultimate in comfort concern by cushioning the ankle and heel with cushioned insoles, with support from partial side zippers. This rich leather wedge design can compliment nearly any fashion or color scheme, but at two hundred and four dollars it can't be purchased on just any budget. Customers appreciate the simplicity of the shoe, saying that although a four inch heel rise can be a bit daunting, the foot base is nearly an inch tall itself for better balance. The comfort is enough that it can be worn nearly all day without stress, while being paired with winter jeans or summer skirts.

Less expensive designs have to deliver superior looks, but can provide excellent comfort as well. The Pleaser Women's Bravo-100 Faux Lace-Up Platform Wedge Boot rises as tall as six inches on the tallest models. Manufactured from faux sleek black leather, the boot has intricate detail on lacing and a curved adds spice and support to the full frame. The perks add up to a measly price of forty-five dollar piece of footwear, so customers need not dawdle for their fashion needs! Customers have had mostly positive reaction to the Pleaser Women's design, although most claim it is only comfortable for larger sized feet, and that the interior is less padded then they would prefer.

International designs have made their way onto the American market with considerable vigor. Australian boot manufacturers, especially since the popularity explosion of Ugg boots in the past decade, have flooded the market with their products as they compete for the share of customers interested in the Down Under design. EMU Australia manufactures footwear for all makes and occasions, from the casual to the practical to the business designs, and their suede trim platform wedge boots are a heavy seller by United States retailers. The appeal of many Australian boots is the 100% Merino sheep's wool lining, giving an ultra soft feel to every part of the ankle and foot. The lining reinforcement is even stronger at the two inch heel, so that an entire day in the boot will not strain or stress the joints. The EMU platform boot retails for sixty to one hundred dollars. Most customers have found that the EMU boot, along with many other brands of the Australian design, are best for wider or thicker heels, as the cushioning is much more prevalent than other boot models, and skinny heels will benefit less from the extra padding. The comfort and warmth, especially in winter, makes them preferable to leather boots, although they offer no protection for some of the shin and knee area.

Wedge shoes are all about glamor and style. Find brand name womens wedge shoes and designer wedges in various colors and styles. From casual to formal, there is the perfect wedge for every occasion.

As I mention on my home page, 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.

I'm a gal that loves glamor. Considering what the wedge shoe represent, I think they are the perfect shoe for my closet. Ferragamo had it right when he built his empire on Hollywood shoes. When you think Ferragamo you think of his invention: the wedge shoe. And you cant think of Ferragamo without glamor. After all he's the designer that hand made shoes for the starts of the 30s, 40s and 50s. 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.

Womens Wedge Shoe Styles

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? 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 close toe styles too. A classy closed toe wedge goes with work and play. There are some formal shoes I've included a link or two here, that really look nice with party dresses or cocktail dresses.

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. Most platform shoes don't go 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.

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).
