good or bad to use wedges?

On most shoes, the "heel" sits under only the heel of the foot, but a wedge heel runs under the foot, from the back of the shoe to the middle or front.

As you've probably guessed, it has a wedge shape, but not all wedges are high heels. In fact, wedge heels range from low to high, it's the shape and the length of the heel that classify it as a wedge.

Advantages of Wedge Heels:

• These shoes add height, but are easier to walk in than stilettos.
• Worldly and eye-catching, wedges have a very cosmopolitan look about them.
• A wedge heel looks great with nearly any length skirt or dress.
• Wedge heels, by nature, are a fashionable choice; by just choosing to wear them, you up your fashion quotient.
• Wedges will add definition and shape to heavy ankles, making them appear thinner.

Cons of Wedges:

• Wedge heels are still heels, with all their pitfalls. Don't be fooled into thinking you can run a marathon in them.
• Wedges can look a little clunky, especially when paired with very tight-fitting clothing.
• Wedge heels tend to work best on shoes that are more on the casual side. While there are dressier styles of wedges, finding a truly elegant one can be a bit difficult.
• Thick wedge heels will make really skinny ankles appear even thinner.
