The mini-wedge is by far our favorite style of the season. For a girl who lives and breathes stilettos, it’s nice to have a choice in the comfort market that doesn’t narrow down to “flats”. This trend gives us options in comfort footwear and we love having options. The mini wedge is our new flat. It’s flattering with skinny jeans and cropped pants, giving you about the same height as the classic pump, while remaining as comfortable, if not more so, than a casual skimmer. Available in closed and open-toe styles - be sure to look for spring ’10 sandal versions next summer as well - the modified wedge gives you just a little bit of lift; a trend we can certainly get behind.
