These Wedges Are as Stylish as They Are Comfortable

Sometimes you just don’t feel like teetering around in stilettos (and toting around an extra pair of flip-flops), but you still want the height benefit of a heel. What’s a gal to do? Enter: comfortable wedges.

Wedges offer more support and stability than a skinny heel, making them significantly easier to walk, or stand around, in. Their sturdier bottoms ensure you won't stumble in a sidewalk crack on the way to work or sink into the grass, which is why they're the favored shoe for outdoor weddings and events. We also won't say no to ouch-reducing features like arch support, padded footbeds, memory foam insoles, and adjustable straps.

For those who have extra-long maxi dresses or jumpsuits they love but haven’t gotten around to altering (or is that just us?), high wedges are a useful style hack to quite literally elevate your look.

From classic silhouettes to closed-toe espadrilles and chunky platforms, we gathered the cutest and most comfortable wedges to take your summer style up a notch.
