Wedge heels for wide feet

One thing that I am starting to see more and more as I go about my day is ladies wearing wedge heels. This is something that reminds me of when I was younger and seeing my mother and other ladies of the day and the shoes that they wore. Its nice to see fashion trand coming full circle as I get older. Wheter you have a regular size foot or a hard to find size as a plus size woman it makes no sense to spend a lot of time and effort finding the perfect clothes and not be able to find the shoes to match. Wedge and platform shoes where popular when I was a kid and they are making a comeback for the Spring. Here you can find a few tips to help with the more popular styles that you will see this year to find what is right for you.

  • Wearable Platforms - Love platforms, but can’t handle the height? These cushioned ankle-strap espadrilles have the all comfort of modest flats with the style of sky-high wedges.
  • Evening Platforms - The dressy sandal is instantly modernized with a platform sole, and a sky-high four-inch heel to boot!
  • Wavy-Soled Espadrille - These espadrilles, with large ribbon ties and a wavy-braided sole, manage to look more city chic rather than beach bum.
  • Luxe Thong Platform - Despite its Birkenstock sandal styling, this thong gets a serious upgrade with luxe embossed leather, pretty metallic color, and tall cork wedge.
  • Studded Platform - An otherwise straightforward pair of leather wedges gets instant bad girl appeal with stud and eyelet hardware.

All the styles listed can be found at these stores.

  • Summer Thong - With a two-inch platform and ankle-buckle, this thong style is perfect for the beach. The height adds length to your legs, while the flat sole is comfortable and sand-friendly.
  • Jeweled Platform - Between the old-school butterscotch color and jeweled wooden sole, this platform sandal screams “‘70s queen” while still maintaining a thoroughly modern feel.
  • Ballet Wedge - If you have a closet full of ballet flats, but want something hip for spring, these round-toe, ankle-wrap espadrilles are a sassy little option.
  • Grecian Espadrille - Last summer’s flat bohemian gladiator sandal looks fresh with the addition of a tall skinny wedge.
  • Peep-Toe Pump - The scalloped trim, sling back buckle, and classic peep toe come together to form a platform that’s irresistibly retro; toss these on instead of your standard work pumps.
