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.
