An essential guide to womens wedges can be useful when searching for the perfect pair. There are many different styles which can be found in sandals or boots. Wedges are typically more comfortable than pumps because there is no balancing your weight on a small stiletto heel. Below find designs to meet various style needs. So many to choose from!

For the quintessential wedge sandal, the Anamarte from Tory Burch is perfect. These wedges go great with everything. Equipped with a 4" wedge, soft imported leather, and neutral color options, it would be a great idea to buy multiple pairs of this style. These will match everything in your closet, but if you are in need of inspiration, pair these fabulous shoes with a silk shift dress and your sensational look is complete.

A wedge boot is a great choice for the cold winter months. Extremely versatile due to the sleek style lines, wedge boots are a great choice for work or play. The 5050 design by Stuart Weitzman are a perfect example of the wearable boot. These feature a "half and half" shaft, with imported suede and stretch leather. These shoes also showcase a small 2" heel, for that perfect amount of lift, and a pointed toe to increase the elegance. Boots that can be worn with pressed slacks for work, or worn comfortably under a pair of straight leg denim jeans to project a classically elegant look make this design a great deal.

For a fun, sexy design, take a look at the Petra from Via Spiga. Featuring a high 2 3/4" wood wedge heel, important Vachetta leather, and sleek rivet hardware, make heads turn and put yourself inches above the crowd. The added height is not the only element to make you feel confident; the cushioned leather insole will ensure that you will be comfortable through the day and night. To show off those fabulous stems of yours, when worn with a beautiful summer dress you create an ethereal appearance. For a more casual look, slip on a super skinny ankle jean and tank.

Gladiator sandals blew up on the trend circuit about two seasons ago, and they do not appear to be going anywhere. For those women out there who prefer a little lift with their sandals, the Fiona by Lovely People are perfect for you. The subtle 1 1/2" heel featured on these give you the perfect subtle lift. Keeping the feminine element, these have a dainty strap and buckle detail. These would look beautifully whimsical with a pair of shorts and a chic bohemian top.

You are set in these womens wedges for an outdoor concert or a stroll through the park with a friend. This essential guide is sure to satisfy the shopper in you! If you fancy, all the designs featured are available and ready for purchase. A sexy alternative to the heel and often times more comfortable - these shoes are a great reason to spend spend spend!
