Ladies Wedge Shoes

This designer wedge shoe article is continued from part IV (from the series I through VI), which has as its aim to offer designer womens wedge shoe choices to discerning women. I have already said in the other articles that, while I traveled a lot a as an international journalist, I not only needed lots of shoes for all the walking I did, but also quality footwear that wouldn’t leave me stranded with my heel in my hand as I rushed between interviews.

I have paid a high price to learn this lesson, because I often bought adorable little shoes in markets and shops as I traveled only to be sorely disappointed when they completely fell apart after one or two wears.

Over the years I have therefore become selective and stick with names like Dolce & Gabbana, Chloe, Amalfi and others who offer quality shoes that do loose their appeal or go out of fashion as quickly as discount shoes that look great for only a short time.

Here is the next part of the list of designers who I believe offer high quality shoes. I have also included a little corporate history in some cases, and a few suggested wedge shoes for the seasons ahead. Here is Part V – Womens Wedge Sandals & Shoes -from Kork-Ease to Bernson:
