Summer Shoes: Low-Wedge Sandals

Posted by Siofan | Tuesday July 5, 2011

If you're looking for a little lift, but want the laid-back look of a flat sandal, these low-wedge and demi-wedge sandals hit the in-between mark. With the low heel, your feet shouldn't slip forward, making them comfy enough that, on hot days you can wear them all day. With all of the stylish options below, we beg of you, there's no reason to resort to platform flip flops for height.

Black sandals, especially in criss-crossing strap designs are as sexy as a sandal can get.
1. DV by Dolce Vita Marci Sandal (US$50.00)
2. Spring Nebgen Sandal (C$49.99)
3. Kate & Mel at Town Shoes Sandal (C$89.99 sale)
4. Marc Jacobs Gladiator Posillipo Wedge (C$295.00)
5. Blowfish Casita Demi Wedge Strapped Sandal (C$88.53)

Beige and nude sandals, help lengthen the leg by being unobtrusive. Paring them with this summer's bright coloured pieces or simple white looks is a no-brainer.
1. Indigo Smooch Flat Multi T-Strap Studded Detail Sandal (C$39.99 sale)
2. Bravo Browns Sandal (C$99.98 sale)
3. Roberto Vianni Sandal (C$59.95)
4. Browns Sandal (C$109.98 sale)
5. Zara Strappy Mini Wedge (C$89.90)
6. Steve Madden at Town Shoes Sandal (C$99.95)
7. Loeffler Randall Roni Suede Lace Up Sandal (C$208.35 sale)

Metallic sandals aren't so dressy that they can't be worn with a more simple outfit, and look amazing peaking out from the hem of a maxi dress.
1. Report Kila Metallic Lizard Effect Demi Wedge Sandal (C$106.23)
2. MTNG Shelly Sandal (C$34.99)
3. Madden Girl Waifer Low Wedge Sandal (C$54.99)
4. Spring Cheesebrough Wedge Sandal (C$39.99)
5. Dolce Vita Mettalic T-Strap Sandal (C$185.65)
6. Bravo Browns Sandal (C$119.98 sale)

While you can't go wrong with a neutral sandal, the summer is a time to play with colour and new styles. In stores this summer are designs in bright colours and unexpected white, and with buckled and embellished straps that will toughen up your feminine summer pieces.
1. Sole Boutique Orleans Sandal (US$16.95 sale)
2. Miss Sixty Sandal (C$119.98 sale)
3. Nygard Suede-Look Wide-Band Gladiator Sandal (C$39.99)
4. Nine West at Town Shoes (C$135.00)
5. Topshop Natalia White Metal Beaded Tubular Wedge (US$90.00)
6. Madewell Strappy Mini Wedge Sandal (C$139.24)
7. Topshop Norma Lilac Twist Vamp Low Sandal (US$90.00)
