Wedge Shoes Guide

There is such a thing as cheap shoes that look fantastic. Cheap doesn't mean tacky or poorly made. Hundreds of shoes are available everywhere at low prices and, believe it or not, you can even find designer shoes cheaper. Cheap wedge shoes are even easier to find as many of them are made of canvas instead of leather. That doesn't mean that leather wedge shoes can't be found cheaply either.

Some of the most gorgeous shoes on the planet are wedge shoes. Finding cheap wedge shoes sounds harder than it really is, at least good cheap wedge shoes. There seems to be a big misconception about the wedge and I blame sites like about.com which tout the wedge as only a casual shoe, not fit for formal wear. They're wrong. In fact they're so wrong, it's rather laughable. Sure many of the styles of wedge shoe are casual, but so are many flats and people still wear those quite often to a wedding. Wedge shoes are nothing but a stiletto with support. It just happens that many of them have a cork wedge or are platform style. However, new designers, and the old ones too, are coming out with some fantastic looking wedges that can be worn for casual, formal or even ball gowns. It all comes down to the shoe itself. Many of the styles are even perfect for office wear, including the cork wedge heels!

Let's take this pair of Emilio Pucci black wedge patent heels. They're obviously gorgeous formal shoes. I mean you can wear them with jeans (and personally I'd wear them with anything), but they're more suited for a power suit or a little cocktail dress. Can't you seee these little babies in a little pink prom dress? Yes, I know they don't fall under the “cheap” category, but I'm making a point (and part of that point is to look at these shoes while I type this article). The point is that wedges are anything the designer creates them to be. If you're looking for formal cheap wedge shoes, you may have to hunt around a little bit harder, but they exist.

Here are two perfect examples of cheap wedge shoes for formal wear: Risque by Rampage at a mere $30.99 and Victor by Franco Sarto at $43.99. Both shoes are perfect for a cocktail dress or even a formal ball gown. The Sartos come in black as well, and a funky sort of orange color. There are hundreds of other examples, it's just a matter of finding the perfect pair.

In fact there are some great places to buy cheap wedge shoes, all it takes is knowing what you're willing to buy.

1) Wedge Shoes at Amazon.com
Amazon.com is one of my favorite shops. They have designers, merchants and shoes from all over the world that post their merchandise on the website. This means you get a visual idea of the price of multiple merchants with the same shoe. It also means a huge discount, because they often sell off their remaining stock at much cheaper prices.
2) Ebay.com maybe you've been turned off by Ebay in the past, but it's a really great resource for cheap wedges. You can find cheap wedge sandals and formal wedges, designer wedge shoes and everything under the sun on that site. You also get first hand knowledge of how well the merchant does with its customers. Imagine being able to walk into say Macy's and at the door you see how many stars customers give them, how the products are etc. You see the benefits now?
3) Womens Shoes at ShoeSteal.com Shoesteal.com has a humongous stock of shoes and (as shown above) some lovely wedges at really cheap prices. The more limited the stock, the better deal you get. There is a pair of $11 Rampage shoes there at the moment. I'm not featuring them because there is only one size left. But seriously $11 shoes? They say steal and they mean it!
4) Shoes.com Sale: Save over 60% plus Free Shipping Shoes.com another site that is much like shoesteal.com, and has some incredibly cheap wedge shoes for sale. (along with hundreds.. or thousands even, of other styles)
There isn't anything like shopping on the Internet. I do it daily, much to my husband's chagrin. This isn't the last you've heard of cheap wedges on this blog. I'll be keeping a lookout.

In fact one of my favorite shops EVER, is overstock.com and I'm going to feature them as soon as I figure out how to set up the blog so it removes items that are no longer in stock haha.
