Ask Belle: Wedges for Work

Belle,

My favorite pair of wedge pumps bit the dust.  Can you help me find a new pair for work?  I’d like black or tan, maybe both.  I want to spend around or under $125.  Thanx!

If you’re looking for shoes with lift but need stability, wedges are a great option.  Some styles are so clunky it can hardly be believed, but you can find sleek styles if you’re willing to search a bit.  Wedges are a good option for any job where you need to walk a lot and want to give your ankles a break.  Here are a few pairs to try:

Nine West ISpy Wedge ($79)

Via Spiga Darby Pump ($117)

Corso Como Jayne Wedge ($120)

Cole Haan Kenzie Wedge ($99, also in black)

Looking for a cheaper open-toe option?  This Liz Claiborne pump is a good intern-priced choice.

    I love wedge pumps, I’m terrible at heels so they are the only way I can get the height without wobbling all over the place. I have a pair by Ecco that I love!

      IDK if the link worked, but it’s the Franco Sarto Helio Wedge

    I saw someone wearing a gorgeous pair of navy wedge pumps the other day — they were pointed toe and had a very tasteful bow on the front. I think they were some sort of saffiano-looking leather.

    I wish I had stopped to ask her. Does anyone know of anything similar?

    The J. Crew Factory wedges (I have them in black and tan) are the BEST. Perfect heel height and super comfortable

      I second the J crew Factory Wedges. I almost need a new pair of the black ones, mine have been worn so much.

    I’m on my second pair of black Calvin Klein wedges- the first pair was almond toe, the second is pointed. Super comfortable- I wear them everywhere. I purchased both at Nordstrom Rack for around $60 each.

    They’re lower than the ones shown, but the Cole Haan Milly (I think they’re discontinued but can still be found in a few places) and their sister shoe, the Air Tali are pretty much the only shoes I wear anymore. I’ve got horrid knees and walk around a lot for work on gravely parking lots and these have never let me down. I think I own them in every color.

    I live in my Ivanka Trump wedges. So comfortable and they’ve worn very well over the past two years.
