wedge heel

Solid angled platform

A wedge heel is a shoe heel that forms a solid piece from the back of the sole to under the arch, rather than a separate stiletto or block.

The continuous wedge shape distributes weight more evenly, making these shoes more stable and comfortable for extended wear: She wore wedge heels to the garden party.
