Like most women I know, I love the flattering and fashionable look of a pointed toe, high heel pump...but I've come to the conclusion that I really can't commit to this type of style for longer than a fancy dinner date night out, basically, the same idea behind Oprah's "five minute shoes." As much as I hate to admit it, the older I get, the more my preference is leaning towards comfort over style...plus, I tend to be fairly klutzy, not a good quality for walking in towering stilettos. With a few dressier events on my calendar, (all in New York City and all requiring walking) I thought I'd give another type of shoe option a try...
the pointed toe wedge. It might seem like the most obvious thing, but up until quite recently, I really only wore wedges in the warmer months. All of my wedge heels were slings backs, open toe, espadrilles, or all three combined...but I've happily just discovered a whole bunch of
great looking pointed toe wedge shoes that give me the height and the leg extending look of a pump, with the comfort and the extra support of a wedge. Fashion win/win in my book!
I now happily own these
leopard Brian Atwood wedges and these
fabulous suede Chloe shoes. I think this pair of
patent leather nude wedge heels are in my near future, since they'll go with everything (
and you can't beat that price!). I've also got my eye on a few other pairs, including a very chic pair of
pointed toe black leather ankle boots, scroll through below to see the rest...
