The reason

I love shoes, and I can't bare to see them perish. When the buckles on my wedding shoes started to rust I thought it's time to do something about it. From now on the shoes might be gone but the appreciation continues!

Loewe Gate wedge sandals 80mm in brown leather

 Channeling the Gate bag design, these are comfortable and versatile. Can’t fault them. True to size.

Aquazzura Karlie wedge sandals 110mm in brown suede

My very first pair of Aquazzura and I was not disappointed.  They are very well-made and they fit nicely.  Unlike most wedges and espadrilles, they make my feet look very dainty and streamlined. True to size.

Fendi platform wedge 80mm in beige patent

I came across these shoes a couple of seasons ago and I didn't quite like the colour combinations.  I think they were gold patent with born elastics?  I did remember how comfortable they were and so when I saw them again in spring colours I took them home.  Glad I picked beige over candy orange.  Beige goes with everything!  Buy half size up.

Rupert Sanderson Peggy 100mm wedges in beige patent

I bought these wedges from the website along with Wenjens and I have to say I am much happier with them.  The fit and the shape are all very Rupert Sanderson, and it suits my feet well.  The only problem if I have to nitpick?  The colour is slightly too light against my skin tone.  True to size.

Christian Louboutin Almeria 125mm wedge espadrilles in brown leather

I was not 100% sure about these when I saw them as they are wedges.  I bought them anyway as they were on this crazy sale.  I am glad I bought them as I wear them all the times now, even when I go on holiday as they are so comfortable.  They look a lot better on as they have the usual Loboutin delicate and tapered footbeds.  The colour is very versatile too.  Maybe I have changed my mind about wedges!  True to size.

Christian Louboutin Marplesoft 100mm wedges in orange patent

I found these in the sale.  I am not usually a wedge person but I wasn't going to say no when the price was good.  Love the vibrant color and shape.   They don't seem extremely comfortable even though they feel well supported by the wedge heels.   I will try to wear them and report back.  Buy one size up.

New note:  had them on and walked for the day.  No problem at all except for minor toe pinches towards the end of the day.  Maybe the patent leather will soften up more.

Roger Vivier platform wedge 120mm in green/blue fabric

Another pair of Roger Vivier I could not resist (It's happening quite a bit lately).  Green is my favourite color to begin with and surprisingly these shoes are a lot more versatile then my other green shoes.  The casual style helps a lot.  At 120mm they are very comfortable also.  I have been wearing them almost everyday since the start of  the summer.  True to size.

Steve Madden platform wedges 115mm in beige canvas

My first pair of Steve Madden and I am glad I did not pay full-price for them.  They are not the most comfortable shoes and it's not because of its height.  At 115mm they are remarkably comfortable for my feet, thanks to the cleverly-angled platforms.  The problem seems to be the canvas straps at the front when they rub into my toes.  I am still quite happy with them as they are what I wanted.  I spent a long time finding a pair of wedges which do not look too chunky and it was harder than I thought!  Buy half size down.

L.K. Bennett wedge pumps 90mm in purple/gold suede/leather

These are so comfortable you can probably wear them at a marathon! Love the slim, non-chunky wedge heel design. Don't like the chunky looking front. I think they would look sexier if more toes are shown. True to size.

Colkorle wedge slides 100mm in green floral fabric

In lime green. Why not?

Colkorle wedge slides 100mm in yellow floral fabric

A yellow and fuchsia version of the wedges. I couldn't say no to them when they were so cheap.

Colkorle wedge slides 100mm in black floral fabric

It's a made-up brand sold locally in Shanghai and they are really cheap (a little more than US$10). They are reasonably comfortable and they seemed well made. Buy one size down.

Jimmy Choo flip-flop wedges 100mm in fuchsia terry cloth

My favourite color once again. Wedges certainly give more support. And the higher the heel, the more they seem to stay on my feet. They look lovely with swim wear on pool side. Still they are not all that supportive and my toes seem to be everywhere. To me it's not acceptable but I often wonder who else is looking? True to size.
