wedge heels

Solid elevated footwear

Wedge heels are shoes with a sole that forms a single solid piece from toe to heel, elevating the heel without the gap underneath found in stilettos or pumps.

The wedge shape distributes weight more evenly, making them more stable and comfortable for walking than traditional high heels: She wore wedge heels to the garden party.
