Magickman Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I do. I like wedgies. They seem to allow better balance, and feel less precarious when I am trying to dance. Last Sunday, I was shoe shopping in several stores. Finally found some wedgies that I liked, at Kohl's: http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/landingpages/apt9/womensshoes/PRD~306453/apt+9+Viz+Wedge+Sandals.jsp What do you think?
HappyFeat Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Typically I am not a big fan of wedges, however I really LOVE those! Which color id you buy? Style is built from the ground up!
innskin Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I agree, wedge type shoes are more stable than point heels. I like the look & feel of a nice pair of wedges, even more so if they are a pair of platforms. I'll pay more money for a pair of good wedges, than a pair of heels. Innskin
Dr. Shoe Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I don't like wedgies at all... having one's underwear suddenly yanked up like that is not pleasant IMO... Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
ShockQueen Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I don't like wedgies at all... having one's underwear suddenly yanked up like that is not pleasant IMO... Ha ha ha ha ha! Rule #1 when reading Dr. Shoe's posts: Do NOT drink anything, then read......your screen may suffer for it. I do like that style though, Magickman! Too bad it falls under the "too small & stops at 11" curse for me. SQ.....still busting societal molds with a smile...and a 50-ton sledge!

IBL70 Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Too classic for me , and like higher heels . But they look comfortable for a long walk . Sure you'll enjoy them .
roniheels Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I too am not a fan of wedges. Those do look comfortable and the color is one that looks like they would go with about anything. If you like them, that is the inportant thing. Congratulations and thank you for sharing with us.
fastfreddy2 Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 <this is humour> As a great fan of wedge shoes and boots, I'm compelled to make a note of all those names who have made less than favourable comments about them..... Not sure what I'm going to do with the piece of notepaper with the names on it, but it won't be pleasant. "Be afraid, be Very Afraid" ......... ....
Magickman Posted May 16, 2008 Author Posted May 16, 2008 Red was the color I would have preferred, but it was not available, so I chose black patent.
rguyff Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 I'm not a wedgies guy. If it doesn't have a skinny tall heel, I'm not that interested.
docs41 Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 I love wedges too. A good percentage of my collection have a wedge. If the shoe fits-buy it!!!!!!
HappyFeat Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Red was the color I would have preferred, but it was not available, so I chose black patent. You are like me...RED is the color I always prefer when possible. Recently, I have decided to not buy any more shoes in black since it seems my closet floweth over, so to speak. The tan are quite nice as well. Style is built from the ground up!
heelma Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 I usually don't like wedges, but I found a nice pair from Payless (see attachment). That one has a 2" platform and a 4" heel. They are not very steep, I can almost walk like with men's shoes. Did so the other day and nobody seemed to have noticed, though they were clearly visible. Interesting; you would think that such a shoe looks feminine enough to raise looks just like stilettos ...
Magickman Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 With diligent searching, I found my red wedges, at Herberger's. http://www.herbergers.com/product/shoes+%26+handbags/womens/womens+sandals/bandolino+women%27s+%22xandy%22.do Herberger's has a fantastic shoe department.
BobHH Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Probably the most comfortable heels I own - good in the grass and dirt, very light. Not quite as much rise as ones with a lower platform or no platform.
thedesigner Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 Right, ok.... WEDGES are brilliant for seeing clients, going about as street wear, as theres no obvoius heel or clank. So okay for suspect situations. WEDGIES are when your g string gets stuck up yer bum.... Of the two, i prefer wedges.....
heelma Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 I usually don't like wedges, but I found a nice pair from Payless (see attachment). That one has a 2" platform and a 4" heel. They are not very steep, I can almost walk like with men's shoes. Additional comment about these: they are actually quite deceiving! As I wrote above, the feel like walking with flat shoes. But then all the sudden, your feet may move a bit too much to the left or the right and make them fall over to the side. Subsequently, some of my toes were not "in" in the front anymore and b/c of the ankle strap, it was quite a pain to re-adjust them. Fortunately, there weren't any people walking by me when that happened.
Magickman Posted May 31, 2008 Author Posted May 31, 2008 At my local Nine West store, I found these. http://www.ninewest.com/n/browse/product.s?source=search&productId=2923748 I think I am in lust.
fastfreddy2 Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 At my local Nine West store, I found these. http://www.ninewest.com/n/browse/product.s?source=search&productId=2923748 I think I am in lust. Nine West have those over here in a dark tan brown. I keep picking them up whenever I see them, because I LOVE the heel which I think is somewhere between 4 1/4" and 4 1/2" high. They are a bit girlie for wearing in the street, so I won't buy a pair .... But you've great taste. ....
heelma Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 What about covering them up with long jeans? If you just see the very front part and a tiny bit heel, I don't think that looks too girly ...

sabotalot Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 And up to size 12! I think I am in lust, too. I also like their option: "add to my closet".
Bubba136 Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Great find. I can handle those. I like them in Brown! Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
fastfreddy2 Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 What about covering them up with long jeans? If you just see the very front part and a tiny bit heel, I don't think that looks too girly ... They'd make a great holiday shoe, but it doesn't look like I'll be getting one this year. The Euro is too strong, and we're moving sometime this summer. (Finally). If I see some in a sale, I might buy them for next year. [i've no shame.] But I do REALLY like them. ....
hjt101 Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 At my local Nine West store, I found these. http://www.ninewest.com/n/browse/product.s?source=search&productId=2923748 I think I am in lust. I'm gonna have to look into those as well. I might have to get them in both brown and black. Proudly standing in my patent High Heels
Griez Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 i like wedges, fukken like... never weared any but i think they must be a lot easer to walk long distances would liek to buy some pair every human has they own choices...
fastfreddy2 Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Had a look around for the Nine West 'gladiator' shoes today ... Found none! And this is maybe why. [Despite being £65 !!! ] But I did see these in Barratts, and these as well. No chance of finding the Nine West ones in a sale anywhere then .... P.S. This link is 'borrowed' from another thread. Look familiar? And a non-wedge version. ....
