I read an article today about how ladies "wedges" came about. Thought I might share with you the interesting facts about your footwear.
Salvatore Ferragamo was a designer in the 1930's, and because leather was a rare find in the 30's he designed the wedge out of cork and wood because these were easy to find.
Wedges came out in a big way during the 1970s for men and women to wear, although the wedge styles were more colourful and funky for the times.
Spice Girls retro style in the 1990s allowed women around the world to wear large size wedges with a bit of glitz and glamour.
Today you can find beautiful wedge heels and shoes for tall women, that are comfortable and look great with any outfit!
Just remember, wedges for ladies are a great alternative health benefit to heels. You look taller, your body looks skinnier, and with improved posture who could complain!?
Reduce falls with arch support, avoiding ankle and foot problems with your new wedges!

Looking for size 13 heels?
Make no mistake these longer styled heels are very foxy, but oh so feminine.
Pair up your Katie 'n' Me Jacoba's with a corporate outfit of black slacks, black or white top with a hint of colour in your belt.
This style is delicate enough to let people know you're great to work with, but handsome enough to let them know that you also mean business!

Shoe Heaven ...
My name is Mel, and I am a shoe addict. It's a predicament
I've lived with for many years. But
with my "obsession", comes problems. And funnily enough, money
is not the biggest issue I have when it comes to indulging my little dilemma.
I am a tall woman. 180cm tall to be exact. The
downside to my Amazonian height, is feet to match.
Of
course, it seems that most manufacturers of quality footwear, seem to think
that all women fit into this category: Feet
must be between sizes 5 and 10! I
hate to burst their bubble, but I have a size 12 foot. Or 45 in European
sizing. So for most of my life, shoe shopping has been met with crippling
disappointment, and cheap and nasty men's sneakers from your generic department
store. It didn't matter how much effort I put into my outfit. I
could have spent hundreds on hair, make-up and clothes, but it was all a waste
of time and effort when I put on those dodgy sneakers.
When I discovered their shop, my life changed in the most
amazing way.
I stumbled across their website by Googling "larger sized
ladies shoes", or something along those lines. Up popped
their shop. An Australian shop, with a great range of shoes, and prices.
It was love. Immediate. Deep. Endless.
Boundless love – at first sight!
I found myself salivating (literally) over the huge variety of
shoes. With pretty much everything available in my size. Shoe heaven!
My first pair of shoes from them was the Minki Melanie.
Fitting, because my name is Melanie! A simple, but stylish Mary-Jane.
Most women wouldn't get as excited as I did about those shoes! But
I'd never in my life been able to buy footwear like that. I looked better. I felt better about myself. I had more self-confidence. I carried myself differently. I was a new woman. Or that's
how it felt!
I was hooked.
My love affair with them did not end there! I
now own 5 pairs of delectable footwear from this shop. And I can
guarantee, that will not be the end of it. There are many, many pairs on
my wishlist, and I intend to own every single one of them.
They've turned my frumpy into fabulous.
