Wedge shoes, wedge sandals, height-boosting platforms, raised slides and women's clogs. A wedge spreads your weight across the whole foot, so it feels more comfortable than a stiletto of the same height, a good choice for a 3–7cm lift you can walk in all day. Choose light soles (EVA, jute or light wood) with grooves for grip; very stiff or very tall soles make it easier to roll an ankle. Ranked by the independent usdxu score.
