Heel:how to choose your wedge shoes?

Avoid heels that are too high

We all ended up barefoot on the dance floor one day, heels in hand! Or discreetly exchanged her pair of pumps for ballerinas! To avoid pain, avoid heels that are too high, even for wedge shoes. They are more stable, but the curvature of the foot can be just as accentuated. Wearing heels beyond 12 cm becomes perilous and really uncomfortable. If when you try them on in the store (always stand up and walk a little) you are already in pain, look no further! This pair will end up at the back of the dressing room with the stilettos that you thought were so beautiful, but unwearable! Pay particular attention to the shape of the sole. If it is not curved enough and too straight, your feet will quickly hurt. And if you have the sensation of a burn during the day, do not hesitate to add a thin sole in your shoes.

Bet on comfortable wedge shoes

Wedge heels are on every magazine cover and catwalk today. The best-seller remains unquestionably the compensated basketball! Modernized by Isabelle Marant, it can be paired with slim jeans or even a dress for an assertive look. Fashion advice:never wear sporty clothes with your wedge sneakers. You have to bet on the gap! Very comfortable, the heel is more or less high depending on the model but remains very flexible. For shoes, pumps and sandals style, pay particular attention to the strap and prefer it in leather or suede. The ankle must be well held otherwise you risk a painful sprain. Also pay attention to the support of your foot, it should not "float" or be too tight!

Choose heels that slim the silhouette

Wedge shoes can sometimes weigh down the gait and give a massive impression. We always avoid boots and opt for a boots version that refines the calf in winter. The idea is to have a slender figure. Whether it is cork, wood, leather or rope, the important thing is the shape of the heel and its finesse:slightly curved under the shoe, rounded towards the toes. The shoe must shape your legs! Depending on your morphology, wedges can more or less benefit you. On the "twigs" they give a cotton swab look. But they lengthen the legs of the little ones and flatter the round silhouettes. Let yourself be tempted by fantasy and choose original heels in Plexiglas, floral or with chic details. The secret of wedge heels is that you can afford anything!
