Platform Wedge Shoes & Cork Wedge Shoes for the Funky Diva

Author: Trish

Some women collect ceramic cats or cookie jars, others collect pants or skirts. Some even collect shoes, but I have two specific loves: the wedge and the platform shoe. When those two combine, the platform wedge shoe, I can nearly have heart palpitations. I just love a platform shoe. What I love about the wedge is that I get the little extra height and that lean leggy look from the slight wedge. It just pushes the heel up ever so slightly (about an inch, like a pump) which pushes that muscle in the back of the leg out just a teensy bit. Enough to get noticed and quite a few whistles.

The magnificence of the platform wedge shoe can't be denied. I'm really not sure why more women don't wear them. They're very comfortable, and you get the height without the wobble (you know the wobble? Where walking feels like you're about to teeter over from the stiletto your balancing precariously upon) I can't imagine what genius came up with the stiletto and couldn't think of the platform at the same time. Or, even easier, think of the wedge shoe. I want to believe it's a man, but considering how good high heels look on a woman, I can't believe it's all men's fault (even though I'd like to.) I think I lost my point somewhere back there. The point is the platform wedge offers all the looks of the stiletto, but all the support of a flat or pump. The fact that the wedge has support under the arch makes it very comfortable and easy to walk in. What makes the platform wedge so perfect is that it has support under the heel, toe and arch.

Wedge shoes have thousands of heel types, cork being the most popular. There are some spectacular cork wedge platform shoes. I actually love the new ones from Fergie and Jessica Simpson. It must take a star to realize the fun in funky. I love the look and, more importantly, the feel of the cork wedge. It has some really great qualities, not the least of which is they look freakin awesome.
