If you are going to pay for wedge shoes, going designer is a great idea if you can possibly afford it. Designer wedge shoes are usually handmade, at least in part, and are always made with the best materials. The wedge shoe is a shoe that has been in style continuously since the 1960´s and it looks like it will continue to be popular for many years to come. One reason why designer wedge shoes are so popular is that there are many different styles of wedges, from evening shoes to wedding shoes to beach wedges and this makes it one of the most flexible shoes. Only flats have more styles than wedges.

The traditional and original wedge is the open toed wedge. Introduced in the late 60´s the open toed wedge became really popular in the in the 70´s and remain so today. These wedges are also called peep toe wedges and if you like to show off your toes these are the shoes for you. You have wedge boots, really popular for wearing with shorts or skirts, and of course sling back wedges that are very comfortable and open.

The best way to find designer wedges is to do some research on the internet. First, check all of the designer websites and find the styles you like. In some cases designers will introduce new lines online first to test the market and in many cases have promotions and bonus programs that just are not available with distributors. If you are dealing with a distributor, make sure it is an authorized distributor and not a sweat shop in Asia turning out counterfeits. This is a quite common mistake with internet shoppers; no verifying the locations of vendors. The last thing you want to do is spend a couple of hundred dollars on a pair of shoes you could have bought at PayLess for $25 with another pair free.
