Fashionista NOW: Why Wedges Are Hot?

Wedges are selling hot right now, and we are not talking about KFC cheesy potato wedges.

It’s the comfortable platform-like shoes,boots, sandals or heels that are made using molded rubber or plastic. Some wedge heels are made with artificial wood-grain, covered with jute rope and some have the extension of the sole with similar color tone as the shoe.

The late 70s and early 80s was the peak time for the most popular wedges shoes designed by Candie’s. Since the 90s up to right this moment, these wedges are making a come back yet again. In Malaysia it has become a growing trend among the young crowd who love a little bit of boost in their height.

Sometimes wedge shoes can be platform shoes if the sole of the shoe under the toes and balls of the foot is raised above by quite a thickened bottom. If the wedge only elevate the upper portion of the foot and going down as a thin sole near the toes, they are not called platform shoes.

So why are wedges hot right now? Is it because Asians are short and in need of a height booster? (hey, I’m not short!) And, why should you buy a pair (or more) if you haven’t already?
