It’s sandal time! I'm pretty tired of carrying close toed shoes. I’ve been wearing mary janes and ballet houses since the start of winter and my feet are ready to be free! That also means it’s time to get pedicures. Mari. are you reading this? ;)
I am a shortie (5’1″) and also have never been a supporter of pumps since I'm unpredictable and curiously tall included however in the previous couple of years I’ve extended my boot collection to include a few pairs of wedge shoes and that I appreciate that they are comfortable and enable me be bigger if it is just temporary. I’ve suffered through a winter of apartments and am ready to wear wedge shoes again. As it believed a little unusual to truly have a shut-foot wedge I almost bought a set of TOMS wedge booties this winter but didn’t when fall comes in 2013 I’ll prepare yourself but I believe. Lucky for me, wedges look good with everything from jeans to stockings to skirts, for me at-least. :)
Wedge Base Material
The most frequent wedges are wood and cork but my personal favorite, the Delivered Maldives, are leather wrapped. The bottom of a wedge could possibly be made from a good bit of timber or cork or it could be empty inside, which decreases the weight of the boot, and wrapped in cork or wood. Additional wedge starting products include leather, plastic, rubber and fabric. Wooden wedges are generally really adorable however, if you need super comfortable wedge you may want to stay away from them. Cork wedges are often quite lightweight.
Wedge Height
The bigger the wedge, the dressier the shoe. I love to keep it casual and fairly reduced towards the ground therefore I stick to a maximum heel height of 2.5 inches. So far atleast.
Wedge sandals - wooden wedge, leather, and cork
These wedges are available in brown and black. They are not distributed in stores. From what I’ve read, these wedge sandals fit true to size but certainly are a bit slim which means you ought to be safe ordering your size. These might not be for you, when you yourself have a broad foot.
Heel height: 2½”
This sandal with a 2½” stacked wedge heel is ranked “very comfy” by shoppers on DSW.com and is apparently true to size.
Heel height: 2½”
3 - Delivered Maldives - $110 at Zappos.com
These are the best wedge shoes previously and really worth the purchase price. I have Blessed Maldives in black and brown and have used them for two decades. The wedge heel of the tan and dark pairs are leather wrapped but there are additional shades which might be cork wrapped which I think look very awesome.
Heel height: 2½”
4 - Mephisto Minoa - $265 at Zappos.com
Shoes out of this tried and true company are sure to be secure but Mephisto’s fashion hasn’t always been my favorite. I really do like these shoes though. Somewhat of shine makes these wedge sandals dressy however they are dressed by the cork and latex footbed down a bit. These sandals can be found in four shades.
Heel height: 2″
5 - TOMS Material Wedge Shoe – $68 at Nordstrom.com
The top award is won by these, but there truly isn’t an award, for wedge sandals. for this post atleast. :) You can’t beat $68 for a pair of relaxed wedges specially understanding that when you buy a set, TOMS provides a set of footwear into a child in need.
Heel height: 4″
Happy wedge buying!
