Whedgle? Wheel? Hedge?

Posted on 06.16.09 to $100 and under, Shoe Porn by Lindsay



I’m unsure how to describe the subject of my current lusting… It’s really half pump, half wedge… But it shouldn’t be classified as either, individually. It’s really a hedge or a wheel… Or maybe a whedgle, but it only works if you say it correctly. Here is a helpful video:

I fell in love with these obviously for their design, but also because I love the support that wedges give, but miss the “cli-CLACK, cli-CLACK, cli-CLACK” that straight heels make.

Also, the super curvaceousness of these new-style pumps give off a sneaky, deliciously sinister vibe, which I really adore. They’re an unexpected surprise, which is sufficiently lacking in today’s fashion, if you ask me.

Do you see? Do you see how sexy and mischievous that heel is? It’s not a wedge, but it’s not a heel… Brilliant!  I am completely in love with all four pairs. Admittedly, these are obviously quite inexpensive and, thusly, buyer beware if you’re looking for quality. I believe anything can be fixed with an insole, though, so I’m feeling pretty tempted at the moment.

However, if you’re a little more cautious about your shoe purchases (which I’m pretty sure most of you are – Bravo!), here are some more (and by more, I mean more) options from reputable brands, sure to keep your little feets nice and cozy.

xoxo.

I’m with you…really digging the in-between wedge. Love the top pair with the wood heel. Nice. And, whedgle is my vote. :)
