Trend I Love: Wedges

Who doesn't love Prada + gold studs?  These wedges are elegant, edgy, and comfy.

I have pretty much decided I am a flats girl.  Ballet flats.  Loafers.  Flat boots.  I look at these girls walking around in these super cute 4 1/2" inch heels and I can't even imagine how they can stay upright, let alone walk up stairs in them.  I strongly believe quality shoes are more comfortable, but after trying on some 4" Manolos, because everyone told me how "comfortable" they were, I realized what they meant was they are slightly more comfortable than the sensation of walking on razor blades that you get when you wear 4" heels from Forever 21.  Not comfortable in my book.  

But one high heeled trend I can get on board with is the wedge.  Wedges have platforms and wedges have support.  Wedges... I can walk in and sometimes... I would even say are comfortable.  I am still at risk of teetering off the edge and taking a dive on the sidewalk, but I can roll my ankle in running shoes, so operator error might be at play.  Needless to say, in a sea of shoes that are meant for museums, wedges are made for walking.  Here are some great ones.  

$35 at Target?  Are you kidding me?  Go buy these.  So cute!

Charlotte Olympia is my new fav shoe designer.  But all of the shoes are sooo high...  Except these wedges.  Gorg and comfy!

Love these for a spring/summer/winter vaca basic.  And right now they are on sale for under $50.

And the wedge trend isn't just for summer shoes.  Check out these super cute Coach booties.  

My wedges for today.  I can even walk in them!

Do you love wedges?  Or can you demystify the world of high heels for me?
