Wonderful Wooden Wedges


Wood is the new trend in footwear for the upcoming season. Wooden wedges are flirty and vivacious for a young woman in springtime. These shoes can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion and there are a plethora of styles within the category to choose from. Sling backs, peep toes and traditional espadrilles are gorgeous for the upcoming season and wear perfectly into summer.  


Celebrities love this trend for the warmer seasons. The antique wood look gives off provides a chic bohemian feel to almost any ensemble. The wedge gives height to smaller stars like the Olsen Twins and makes Angelina Jolie look classic with a plain brown dress. Funner dressers like Elizabeth Banks and Jessica Alba have a little more color pop in their wooden wedges.


The strappy wedge is the first shoe on our radar. This fun summer sandal is great for jeans and dresses. It gives your legs the boot they need to look slim in almost any ensemble. The thick support of the wedge won't kill your feet and calves like a traditional heel but they still tone and lift your legs. The strapped look is great as a slip and zip or looks stunning with a buckle as seen above.


Traditional espadrilles are the most classic look for wooden wedges. Sometimes their bottoms are made of cork or synthetic wood to give the wooden appearance. These shoes can be dressed up or down to compliment a casual ensemble or fancy dress. Every girl needs at least one pair of these stunning shoes.


Now, there has been a twist on the traditional espadrille. Ankle fastenings give the classic shoe a little flare by adding another point of contact. The looks above have a simple piece of fabric with a bucle holding their ankle in or a feminine bow accomplishes the same feat. These dainty and ballerina inspired looks add a girly edge to your feet.


Last but not least, we have the wooden wedge bootie! If you're lucky enough to hunt a pair like this down while shopping, buy them immediately! This look is so versatile and fresh that you're sure to wear them once a week. The boot can be stunning with a dress or pants and gives you an edge that shows you are fashionable.


Check out the various styles above to see which fits your personal style!
