pussyinboots Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 I must say that I find wedges both useful and fashionable. They are a terrific asubstitute for stilettos if I want to wear high heels without the hassles of thin spikes and thin soles. I can slip on a pair of wedges with anything from a frilly Summer skirt/dress, to jeans, pants/capri's or even a mini-skirt. Around 4 or 5 years ago, I found some gorgeous, Italian style sculpted wedges in one of our 'budget' High Street shoe shops - Shoe-Zone in fact. They have real cork soles, 4.5" wedges...and metallic olive green straps. They also had some fabulous 'thong' wedges in Dorothy Perkins - in White, Pink, Camel and Black - and they are just fab! I bought a pair of each....the total cost was under £90.00 for 5 pairs of shoes - and they are ALL still in good condition and going into their 6th Summer this year. I will admit - I also splashed out on a pair of Pink 'thong' wedges in Russell & Bromley (top quality and snobby)....and paid TWICE the total of all the others for one pair of heels!! So far this year, I haven't seen anything that would come close to these favourites....yet. "Good Girls keep diaries....Bad Girls just don't have the time...!:icon_twisted:"
jo Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 What about these? http://www.waltersteiger.com/gallery/woman/big/18.jpg Similar, but quite different.
fatfuzz Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I don't care for them. But as you could see by many of the comments, a lot of people like them. "A cada um o que 'e seu." (To each their own). I agree.. not to my taste at all but alot of people obviously do like them.. like how all the fellas on this site like wearing heels but there are alot of folk who think it looks plain stupid... each to their own.
fatfuzz Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 What about these? http://www.waltersteiger.com/gallery/woman/big/18.jpg Similar, but quite different. now these i REALLY don't like. and they look quite uncomfortable as i can imagine your feet wanting to slide down and crush your toes. but again, whatever turns you on...
pussyinboots Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 What about these? http://www.waltersteiger.com/gallery/woman/big/18.jpg Similar, but quite different. Conversely, I think that they are really pretty....a fair amount of Chinese influence I'd say. Actually - today's 'Guardian' Fashion carried a whole page of this Spring/Summer's 'in' wedges.....some are gorgeous. I'll try to find the links they give in the magazine, and post them.

christine_c9 Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 I have not seen these in shops at the Shopping Centres I go to around Perth but they look aweful ... seriously NOT sexy at all. And, even though most heels are not 'comfortable', those look seriously NOT comfortable. Christine.
gaijin gig Posted April 16, 2011 Author Posted April 16, 2011 that goes for me too.... Although if someone held a high heel to my head and said" it's either these or Flipflops" sadly i would say these. Cheers
ilikekicks Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 I think flatforms started a few years back with those thick bottomed flip flop type things. Not for me. REPEATEDLY ARGUMENTATIVE, INSULTING AND RUDE. BANNED FOR LIFE.
SleekHeels Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 What about these? http://www.waltersteiger.com/gallery/woman/big/18.jpg Similar, but quite different. I dont like those at all. Asides from anything else, they look way worse for your feet than even classic stilettos. If you like it, wear it.
5150PLB1 Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 These 'Flatforms' remind me of the Japanese geta sandals. The getas looked right with a traditional kimono. As for flatforms, they don't look right with western or oriental clothing.
shrimper Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 There's nothing new about them. They're platforms with a low rise from toe to heel. That style is always available from somebody.
