Lower Wedges and Teetering Ledges

The height of your wedge heel can keep you grounded or launch you into orbit. Heel heights range from 1 1/4 to over 6 inches, but regardless of height, wedges offer solid fashion forward footing.

Merrell, Teva, Rockport and Bass are a few of the designers offering sportier and more casual brown wedges with lower heels and cushy comfort. Softspots, Gentle Souls, Liz Claiborne and Naturalizer offer stylish brown wedges in lower heels designed for those in love with fashion but unwilling to fall over for it. Softspots ushers in summer with 'Sedona,' a bloom adorned brown leather slide with a cushioned foot bed and a 2 1/4' black heel.

Guess, Mia, Camper, Bandolino and Circa by Joan & David are a few of the designers offering brown wedges in the mid heel range while keeping style in full throttle. Circa's 'On Time' offers an updated classic leather slide with a 3' stack brown wedge.

Via Spiga, Jessica Simpson, Bella Rae, Elie Tahari and Prada are a handful of those designers reaching to new orbits in brown wedges. Prada's Raffia Wedge creates its own fashion pedestal boasting a 4 1/2' heel on a 1 1/4' raffia platform with whip snake wrapped ankle straps and rubber soles.

What Kind of Heel Are You?

A wedge heel of course! The wedge heel offers the best balance of any shoe and helps prevent sinking into the grass at weddings, gardens and the park.

Philosophy of Fashion 101: all brown wedges have wedges, but not all brown wedges have wedges that are brown!

With the flexibility of fashion stretching clear across the texture, color, shape and material spectrums, the brown wedge is a fashion maven. Heels are made of cork, rubber, leather, self-wrapped, rope-wrapped, see-through, sculpted, riveted, stacked, studded, even truncated! And brown wedge heels span the color palate including metallics, skins, stripes and checkerboards. Ah, the fantastical world of fashion!

Artful Brown Wedges

A few designers have made statements with brown wedges, creating a piece of art or something to talk about. Others push beyond their norm and offer something new in their repertoire. El Naturalista presents 'Ambar Ankle Tie,' an eco-friendly brown wedge of vegetable-tanned leather and built with reflexology engineering on an outer sole and mid-range heel of recycled materials. Now that's fashion ingenuity!

Ugg, famous for their sheepskin boots and cozy slippers, has given birth to 'Hazel,' a suede and cork 3 3/4' heeled brown wedge slingback with a squishy foot bed and cork infused mid-sole. No need for sheepskin on these, they're hot on their own.

Elizabeth & James have created 'Haley,' a brown wedge of modern artistry with a delicate leather grain, buckle straps, and a 4' shaped wooden wedge heel with 1' platform. 'Haley' brings sculpture and style to the fashion forefront.
