Wedge Heel

Ohh wedges! One of my fav footwear. A wedge heel runs under the foot, from the back of the shoe to the middle or front.

Advantages of Wedge Heels:
- These shoes add height, but are easier to walk in than stilettos.
- Wedges have a very cosmopolitan look to them - they're worldly and sophisticated.
- A wedge heel looks great with nearly any length skirt or dress.
- Wedge heels, by nature, are a fashionable choice - by just choosing to wear them, you up your fashion quotient.
- Wedges will add definition and shape to heavy ankles, making them appear thinner.
Cons of Wedges:
- Wedge heels are still heels, with all their pitfalls. Don't be fooled into thinking you can run a marathon in them.
- Wedges can look a little clunky, especially when paired with very tight-fitting clothing.
- This style tends to seem a bit on the casual side. While there are dressier styles of wedges, finding a truly elegant one can be a bit difficult.
- A thick wedge heel will make really skinny ankles appear even thinner.
