Wedges
Top Wedge Shoes and Sandals for Women

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

Wedges are fun, and when warm weather hits, they become nearly irresistible. Even women who don't normally wear heels can opt for a bit more height when the heel is a wedge.

Check out these top picks in women's wedge shoes for some of the hottest wedges of the season.

1. Report 'Barrett' - Sexy Gladiator Wedge Sandals

Gladiator shoes are hot again this year, and they don't get much hotter than these ultra-strappy wedges from Report. The 3.25" wooden heels give them a real casual feel, while the black patent uppers give them plenty of pop. My favorite part of these gladiator shoes is the triple ankle straps, but styles like these will also make your calves look shorter and heavier. If this is a problem for you, you can minimize that effect by pairing them with a shorter skirt or dress.

2. BCBGirls 'Morenia' - Chic Wedge Shoes

The perfect accessory for all your warm weather skirts and dresses, these wedge shoes feature 4" heels and flattering t-straps. The 'natural raw' shade is a definitive example of the season's hottest shades, and the open-toe style is sexy and chic. Also available in black patent.

3. Betsey Johnson 'Deborah' - Sexy Wedge Heels

I especially love the black version of these modern wedges, but the fuchsia version will certainly turn heads as well. With dual t-straps and pyramid stud embellishments, the heels on these sexy shoes are 4 inches.

4. Nine West 'Ripple' - Strappy Wedge Sandals

Bold, sexy and fun, these strappy wedge sandals come in all the usual shades (white, brown, tan and black), as well as a sizzling hot red. With 4.5" heels and ankle straps to help keep them in place, these sexy-but-hefty shoes are best paired with shorter skirts and dresses.

5. Bandolino 'Rollup' - Wedge Shoes with Low Heels

These wedges are easy to wear in more ways than one. Given that the heels are only 1.5 inches -- and wedges -- they're more wearable than others, but they also come in a great selection of colors ranging from bright red to natural gold. And finally, the classic sling-back style can be worn with nearly anything you own.
