MMKaaay!! so my latest addiction is summer wedge sandals.....apart from them being a major trend  in fashionweeks all over the world they seen to be rocking everyones world and creeping up everywhere...
While wedge heels are an extremely fashionable and versatile choice in women's footwear, they won't look great on everyone, or with every outfit -- and like any shoe style, they have their pros and cons.


 A wedge is a distinct from of a platform which describes a thick sole, usually over 3 or 4 inches. Some platforms do include wedges and these hybrids are often referred to as "platform wedges."

Advantages of Wedge Heels:

  • These shoes add height, but are easier to walk in than stilettos.
  • Worldly and eye-catching, wedges have a very cosmopolitan look about them.
  • 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.
  • Wedge heels tend to work best on shoes that are more on the casual side. While there are dressier styles of wedges, finding a truly elegant one can be a bit difficult.
  • Thick wedge heels will make really skinny ankles appear even thinner.

Hot with:

  • Flowing skirts
  • Shorts
  • Short skirts
  • Bohemian styles
  • Thin, gauzy fabrics
  • Wrap dresses
  • Wide or flared jeans or pants
  • Gauchos

Not with:

  • Pencil skirts
  • Capris
  • Pants with narrow or straight legs
