A comfortable and elegant alternative to high heels are women's shoes with wedge heels. Wedges, as the heel form is called in English, are nowadays available in different variations. From cork, raffia or subtle wood look to wedge heels with patterns and applications, the models are suitable for every occasion and every taste. Although most think of wedges in the 70s, the wedge heel was invented decades earlier by fashion visionary Salvatore Ferragamo. A big influence on the creation in 1936 was the fact that raw materials like leather and steel were scarce in Italy at the time. So Ferragamo glued several layers of cork on top of each other and decorated the heel with gold-colored glass plates. At that time, women couldn't really do anything with this shoe innovation and it took a little while until the hip hippies discovered the wedge heel shoes as a new trend for themselves. Since then, wedges have become an indispensable part of women's shoe wardrobes.
Despite the height, wedge heel shoes are incredibly comfortable and feminine. This proves us again and again Duchess Kate, who is very often seen in great wedge sandals. From jeans to A-skirts, shoes with wedge heels simply go with everything and make the outfit look casual but not casual.
