Wedge heels represent heels that run the length of the sole or base of the shoe — in the shape of a block. This is distinguished from other types of heels that simply offer a heel that falls down from the heel of the foot and arrives to a tip. Usually wedge heels appear in summery shoes, with open toes, in slides, or in strappy sandals.

Wedges come in various colours and designs. One of the most trendy wedge heels in the late 70s and early 80s was prepared by the shoe maker Candies. These shoes had firm plastic block heels which yet again became temporarily in style in the 1990s and 2000s.

Many people confuse wedge heels with platform shoes. The two styles are not equally exclusive. They have some similarities; however, wedge heels are not always platforms. at times the wedge simply raises the upper portion of the foot, sliding to a thin sole below the balls and toes.

Wedge heels are always in vogue and never out of style. They usually offer a more stability than the typical heel, because the wedge expands out from the whole sole of the shoe. You don’t have to balance on a pointed heel as the wedge lets you rest your entire heel on the floor. If you find it difficult to walk in heels, wedge heels can be a fine way to start.
