When it comes to style crimes, wedges are fairly minor offenders.
I don't hate them with the same kind of passion I reserve for Birkenstocks, in fact I think I actually owned a pair of wedges, back in my younger years. However recently wedges have come to reside permanently on my "don't" list, no matter how many times Harper's Bazaar tells me "the nautical look is in this season". Apparently wedges are best worn in tandem with a pair of capri pants and a jaunty striped scarf whilst sailing in the French Riviera.
My problem is that wedges scream "indecisive". They are truly the lazy woman's high heel. Anyone who has ever owned a pair of wedges will tell you they are actually incredibly easy to walk in. It's the easy way to add 5cm to your height.
The problem is that when someone wears wedges, it LOOKS like they are taking the easy way to add 5cm to their height. It's not the same as teetering around in a pair of perilously high heels, an act which requires equal amounts of skill and determination (and some would argue, stupidity).
Wedges remove all the mystery and sex appeal from high heels. They are a cop out. If you are worried about your height, get lifts put into your regular shoes.
Otherwise wear a nice pair of decent flat shoes (there are plenty of them around), and leave the death-defying high heels (my new babies) to brave days.
(Oh, and just in case you are a fan of wedges? The pair pictured here is from Fiorelli and retails for $109.95).
