Wedge Heels: What’s Sexy and What’s Fun
Not all wedge shoes are sexy. Some are fun, some are flirty. Some are just utilitarian and comfortable. But if you're looking for sexy wedge shoes, this is the right website. I'm a shoe fanatic. I don't mean I just own a lot of shoes. I write about shoes, I own a lot of shoes and I talk about shoes - constantly. Perhaps a bit too constantly. Which is the point of this website about wedge heeled shoes. So I can stop talking about it so much to my friends - avoid making their eyes glaze over and that deer in headlights look when we pass a shoe store. Which makes it an ideal spot for anyone searching for this specific style of shoe. That's all you're going to find here!
A fun shoe falls under the category of cool, funky, fresh, unique and interesting. Platform wedges are a great place to start, when you're looking for a fun wedge shoe. Certain brands can make a really fun shoes, like Betsey Johnson. Betsey's designs are always very cute and flirty. They're also lovely, pretty and very feminine and just yum. One thing I love about a truly great design of women's wedge shoes is that they are made for a woman, not just in the composition, but in the flavor. Let's take these Betsey designs as examples.
BETSEY JOHNSON Womens Foster Shoes (Black)
Price: $83.50
BETSEY JOHNSON Womens Foster Shoes (Black). Modern Asian inspiration adds beautiful detail to these gorgeous Foster wedges by Betsey Johnson. Printed floral fabric upper in a slingback espadrille dress wedge style with a round open toe. Delicate grosgrain ribbon trims the alluring deep scooped vamp. A pretty fabric bow secures fit over an elasticized inlay at the slingback heel strap. Leather lining and cushioning footbed, smooth leather outsole. 4 1/2 inch natural textured woven espadrille wedge heel with a geometric cutout detail.
Betsey's Foster design is one of my favorite designer of fun and flirty shoes. In fact, I had never even considered yellow shoes before I saw these the Foster. There are so many intricate parts of this shoe which make it fun and exceptional. Firstly, look at the sole of the shoe. Most designer's don't do much with the bottom of a shoe, but when you cross your legs or as you're walking, trust me, people notice the bottom. I often get stopped and asked to see the bottom of my shoe. Next if you look at the design itself it's so pretty and really really fun. When I wear these shoes I just feel bouncy. The sole and design of this wedge shoe aren't the only unique and fresh part, the cut out geometric shape is amazing too. It's a small added touch, but it really makes a difference. The weave is really incredible in the heel as well. Lastly, the slingback has a little bow which is just the most adorable thing I've ever seen. Update: sadly this shoe is rapidly selling out everywhere (no wonder right?) so it's only available in size 9.5 and only in black. RIP yellow wedge heels I love! LONG live the yellow wedge shoes I love!
Another great fun style from Betsey is this Mariana. It comes in both black and white and also in yellow and white. A slingback with a patent upper, the little accents make a huge difference on this shoe. Once again the sole is amazing with a little face and bright pink shade. How cute is that? Perfect for a party dress or a formal dress, these little sweet wedge heels make an impact. My favorite part is the little bow just above the toe. These shoes are irresistible (at least they were for me). Update: this shoe is rapidly selling out as well. With only two sizes available in one color and one size available in the yellow... uh oh!
So those two are rapidly selling out. There's tons more shoes which are just as cute and endearing. Check out the few above as well as the ones below!
By comparison, a sexy shoe can be flirty, but mostly it needs to be smoldering. Sexy wedge shoes will not only have a higher heel, they will have sophistication and a style to the design which really makes it unique. You can find designers like Michael Kors, Donna Karan and Anne Klein. They don't have to show a lot of skin... but it sure helps.
What makes this Michael Kors sexy? First of all it's incredibly well made. Look at the patent which shines, even in a picture! It's insane. Next, really look at the color of the red. That red is a very unique shade. Designers create not only designs, they create specific colors. Regular brand shoes usually have generic colors, but fashion designers create their own palettes. Now check out the heel of the shoe. How gorgeous is that shoe. And as you can see, when you're walking in the shoe it looks like a stiletto from behind. That is why designers charge so much for their shoe. One last point about this shoe. The small black patent piping around the edges of the shoe really stand out against the red. With a little peep toe and buckle slingback, this is a magnificently sexy wedge shoe.
As of this writing the shoe described above is no longer available. Sorry ladies =(.
My final pair of shoes is a plain, but gorgeous pair of Anne Klein thong sandals. Anne Klein is notorious for making a sexy and classy style of shoe. This pair is is no different. These are incredibly sexy, but not only that they are professional as well. These are so well made and designed, you can wear them to the office with a pair of pants and blazer and look fan-freaking-tastic. The elegant snake print just adds to the class. Very comfortable and wickedly sexy.
