Wedge Shoes – Look Feminine and Walk Comfortable

Today on Fashion and Cookies let's talk about wedge shoes !.

Wedge shoes offer the aesthetic benefits of wearing heels, without the unhealthy discomfort that certain high heels can cause for your feet and back. As the ultimate summer shoe for any woman, wedges have plenty of benefits. But what are they?.
The Italian shoe designer, Salvatore Ferragamo, claims to have created the wedge back in 1936. However, it wasn’t until the 1970’s when wedge shoes started to become famous worldwide. Nowadays, the wedge is a staple of every woman’s wardrobe. But why should you invest in a pair?

A style for every season

Wedges can be found in both covered and uncovered designs, and this means that you can wear this type of footwear, no matter what the season. Whether it’s a wedge sandal for the summer or a wedge boot for the winter, these heels will always have your back.

Feminine

In terms of style and look, wedges give women the same advantages of high heels. They make the person appear taller, the legs appear longer, and the foot appear smaller. Women who wear high heels change their body posture by walking on a more upright carriage, and this is why high heels are synonymous with feminine seduction.

Comfortable

Whilst wedge shoes include all the above benefits of high heels, they are not as damaging to the wearer’s body. As the heel is in a wedge form and goes all the way along the sole of the shoe, wedge shoes are much more comfortable, and reduce the risk of foot pain and discomfort when walking.
Unlike traditional high heels, wedge shoes are not as likely to result in sprains, fractures or other foot deformities. In addition, the ankle strap that often comes with wedges shoes makes them more stable and offers more support.

Suitable for pregnancy

Wearing heels is not advisable during pregnancy, due to the extra pressure they put on the woman’s back and legs. However, wedge shoes are considered suitable for pregnant women. Although it is important not to abuse them, a pair of low wedges shoes could give you the advantages of a little height for a special occasion, whilst taking care of your well-being at the same time.

Wide range of materials

Another benefit of wedges shoes is that they can be designed and created in many different materials, including plastic, leather, wood, cork and fabric. This gives them greater versatility and makes them perfect for any wardrobe.

New long black skirt and floral wedges

Hello everybody, first of all I'd like to thank all the followers of my blog, you are 200 now, yay !.
I don't know how do you usually behave when you buy something new...if when you buy something you store it in your wardrobe, almost scared to spoil it by wearing it too soon, waiting for the right chance to do it...or are you like me, with no patience at all and willing to pimp out my new stuff as soon as possible ? And are you also like me the kind of person that buys the same item with different colors or print only cause they like it so much ? I do that ALL the time !. I wanted to do it with my Jeffrey Campbell wedges, I already had them in green and wanted a similar pair, I didn't want to struggle searching for them so I decided to go for comfy shopping online. I found them at Zalando, they had the item I wanted, the Swansong wedges with a lovely floral print, so I just clicked on "buy" with no regrets ! I also bought two other things from the website, including a lovely black long skirt you can see in this post, I've been wanting a skirt like this for a long time and I finally found it, it's so comfy, light and even cheap ! I had a good shopping experience cause this website doesn't charge with expensive shipping costs, and it the stuff I ordered were all very well packed !. By mixing the new buys with something I already had, including a lovely silk shirt from D&G, here's the outfit that came out !.

Ciao a tutti e innanzitutto vorrei ringraziare tutti gli adorabili followers del mio blog, siete in 200 adesso ! ^___^
Mi piacerebbe sapere come vi comportate di solito...se quando comprate qualcosa di nuovo lo riponete nell'armadio, quasi con paura all'idea di indossarlo o usarlo subito per paura di rovinarlo, aspettate l'occasione giusta o siete come me, impazienti di sfoggiare i vostri nuovi acquisti sempre e comunque ?. E siete anche il tipo di persone - come me - che se si trovano bene con un articolo poi vanno a comprarsi lo stesso modello in colori diversi ?! Io lo faccio tutte le volte !. Infatti, stavo cercando un altro paio di zeppe di Jeffrey Campbell dato che le ho già in verde e siccome non avevo tempo e voglia di cercarle in giro, ho deciso di acquistarle comodamente online. Ho provato Zalando, che aveva proprio il modello che interessava a me, modello Swansong in una bellissima fantasia floreale ! Ovviamente, è scattato l'acquisto...ho comprato anche altre due cosine, tra cui la gonna lunga nera che vedete nel post...era tanto che la cercavo così, è leggera e comodissima !.
L'esperienza con questo sito è stata positiva in quanto le spese di spedizione sono gratuite e la merce ordinata era molto ben imballata !.
Mixando i nuovi acquisti con qualcosa che avevo già, tra cui una bellissima camicia di seta di D&G, questo è l'outfit che ne è uscito fuori :-).
