You no longer have to give up gaining a few centimeters in height and stylizing your legs because the latest trends in footwear go with wedges. And also in all styles, from the most sophisticated to the most casual. If you are one of those who can’t stand heels because of the wounds and the discomfort they cause, you can resort to the new wedges that you find in all shoes, both summer and winter.
Wedges on all models
- Wedges were devised by the prestigious Italian designer Salvatore Ferragamo in the 1930s and since then they have been gaining popularity thanks to the comfort they provide compared to the traditional heel. Since its inception, the wedge has been considered an element of the typical summer hunting, being used mainly made of cork or esparto grass for sandals.
- However, the latest trends in footwear are committed to women’s comfort and foot health and propose models with wedges made of any material and for any style. Thus, we find wedges made of cork or esparto grass, but also of fabric, leather, suede, wood, and even crochet. A wide variety of materials adapt to any style of footwear to always be perfect.
- The best thing about wedges in footwear is that you get the same visual effect as a heel, that is, to stylize and lengthen the figure, but with greater comfort and safety for the foot. And if you want to gain even more comfort, there are shoe models that, in addition to the wedge, include a platform so that your foot does not make any effort or adopt a bad posture.
Fashion wedges
- Many people still believe that wedge footwear gives your appearance an inevitably informal air and that is why they associate wedges with summer and good weather. But designers have tried hard this season to present us with stylish and elegant wedge shoes that you need. Wedge shoes with a strap on the back are ideal for going to work with a knitted dress and thick tights.
- And wedges are also present in boots and ankle boots for this winter, which you can wear with both skirts and pants. Of course, try not to wear wedge ankle boots with a long skirt or below the knees, because the effect is not very flattering. But some suede wedge ankle boots and your skinny jeans can be your basics this season.
- But if there is a wedge that is sweeping this season thanks to the celebrities, that is the wedge in the sneaker. Yes, how do you hear it? The designer Isabel Marant launched her indoor wedge sneakers and they have become a must for anyone who follows trends. The look that is achieved with these wedge sneakers is very casual and very youthful, but this season is the best. You can also wear your wedge sneakers with a miniskirt, shorts, or leggings.
