The style of a wedge shoe has a very distinctive design, whereby the sole of the shoe is one piece. The height of the heel and platform vary from style to style.

As you know ‘Wedges’ aren’t new in fact they have been around since the 1930’s. Designer Salvatore Ferragamo was the first wedge shoe designer who designed the first pair out of wood. Wedges boomed in America during the Second World War because at the time there was a lack of materials as all the leather and rubber was prioritised for all the war efforts. As time went on and fashion evolved, cork became a popular medium wedged shoes styles which worked well and became the signature style aesthetic for many wedge styles we even still see today. Using cork in wedge shoes also had its advantages, it is light weight yet durable which makes it a sturdy footwear choice for the wearer.
