A wedge high heel shoe design for older ladies

Yet another wedge design, this one covers the feet well. Such designs are good for cool climes and these muted brown color suits old ladies superbly. The comfort of wedge shoes, foot hugging upper, slight upward curvature at the tip and peep toe design add soothing feel, though the heel is of good height.

Why wedge high-heel shoes score over stilettos?

Wedges: great high heels for daily wear

Wedges, by their very nature, are good for feet.

Only in very rare cases have I seen badly created wedges and those with heavy heels. In general, the heel and soul are made of light material and have a firm base so that the soft 'filler' material does not sag or come in contact with ground.

The design displayed here and similar types, with wide stripes, add to comfort. You need to take care that your toes do not protrude (I plan to write my next post on this aspect).

In office situations too, where formal shoe is not mandatory, sober wedges are OK. They, of course, go well in most informal and all casual occasions.

Glamorous pink wedge for girls!

This naughty wedge is great in looks for girls. Just take care that when you buy very high heels, the arch should be properly crafted to give full support to the foot. By looks, this one has slightly outwardly tilted base, which may lead to foot problems. If that is not the case (I hope so.), this is a great glam shoe.

Wedge shoes are as attractive as stilettos

A survey by CouponCodes4u has found that among women’s shoes, wedges are judged the least attractive by men. I will take this report on male fetish for women shoes with a pinch of salt as my own experience and my male friends’ views tell me almost the opposite.

Wedges look attractive in their own right. In addition, these shoes have an additional area for fashion play, i.e. the entire sideway. It allows for nice flowery designs, even accessorization. I know a few fashionable ladies who experiment with their dress and shoes, and they deck up wedges by pasting stickers or pin-ups on the sides of wedge shoes according to the occasion.

I have often got flattering compliments about my wedges – also from men. It never occurred to me that anybody would hold me in poor light because I wore wedge shoes.

After this news, I asked my male friends and they din’t find the survey fitting their likes. In fact, this survey of mine ;) found wedges quite fashionable [I didn’t ask whether they looked ‘sexy’.], coming after stilettos and platforms!

Well, I have no problem if you say stilettos look more sexy / glam than other shoes. I’ll also agree that cheap wedges, mass produced from cork, felt and cheap plastics look awful; but that can be said for all shoe styles.

This issue settled, let me also share what are the least attractive footwear styles, according to this report, which is supposed to have read the minds of over two thousand men.

1. Wedge (71% dislikes)
2. UGGs (67%)
3. Crocs (63%)
4. Platforms (58%)
5. Flip flops (55%)
6. Moccasins (49%)
7. Mary Janes (42%)
8. Ballet shoes (37%)
9. Kitten heels (34%)
10. Sneakers (25%)

I had written a post on wedge shoes only last week!

10 reasons why you should consider wedge heel over stiletto

Before proceeding further, let me admit that personally I like stilettos over all other types of shoes and I can wear them for long hours without pain or tiredness. 

Yet, if I were to give advise, I would suggest that women wear wedges rather than stilettos in most conditions. Why?

1. Wedges are more comfortable. Most women find wedges more comfortable than stilettos  especially above 4 inch heel height. 
2. Wedges add height more than stilettos  Yes, but it has a catch. Wedges mostly come with platform sole and so if you are comfortable with 4 inch heel, you can wear a 5.5 inch tall wedge with 1.5 inch platform. Since thin sole stilettos are seen as more classy, women going for top high heels would rather go for tall wedges.
3. All occasions are not formal. Stilettos are considered formal and wedges informal. If you exclude ladies who have to wear pumps during office time [Office pumps mostly don't have too high heels.],  informal occasions are likely to be more than formal occasions demanding stilettos  So, those not very stable / comfortable in stilettos would and should go for wedges  in all situations that do not prohibit informal wear.
4. You can be sporty and playful with wedges. Wedges, by the very nature of their heel and sole, allow play with color all around the shoe. 
5. Wedges go with many more dresses. Casual, informal, semi-formal...
6. Wedges are more subdued than stilettos  The flamboyance of make-up and flashy dresses increases with tall stilettos  Some find such combinations slutty. Wearing wedges subdue the overall effect of flashiness if you want a good balance.
7. Wedges might not look as 'classy' as stilettos but they are equally elegant. Except when they are poorly crafted or have very small heel height, wedges look beautiful.
8. Wedges signify sobriety, composure, good taste.
9. Wedges are safer for older women and also young girls.
10. Wedges are less likely to give bunions etc. In most wedges, the sole is wider than that in stilettos. They also have a padding below the foot arch. On the other hand, over the years, the width of stilettos has become slender, which does not suit all types of feet and can result in injury.
