WEDGE
The wedge is a type of heel in which the heel and sole form a single continuous platform with no cutaway under the arch of the foot. Thanks to this, body weight is distributed evenly across the whole foot, so a wedge is far more comfortable and stable than a stiletto or an ordinary heel — you can walk for a long time and even on uneven surfaces. At the same time it adds height and lengthens the leg just as well. Wedges come in various heights and materials: cork and woven jute rope (the classic of summer espadrille wedges), wood, rubber, leather. It is ideal footwear for the warm season, the resort, walks and boho style, when you want height without sacrificing comfort. The wedge combines practicality, stability and femininity — a smart compromise for active days on your feet.
