On the wedge

The wedge is the perfect solution for an instant boost of length without torturing our feet!

Since Salvatore Ferragamo invented the wedge, they have been unthinkable in the fashion industry. Although they weren't very popular back then, they made a huge comeback this year.

Unlike years ago, the wedge isn't the chuncky shoe as it used to be. From straps to complety closed and from wood to suede... Us woman may like wearing high heels every day but our feet won't agree.

HYPEED's Guest Editor's take on the trend

"Will there ever be another pair of shoes who gives an instant boots of length but still feels like a pair of sandals on your feet? Probably not, and since my first pair I cannot get enough of them. Pair of wedge number six already took its place in the shoe closet and let me start this editorial with my favorite pair.
Ultra high, with straps and in a nude color, which can be combined with any color. See them as my favorite pair of "sneakers", as if I am walking on clouds.
I am convinced that the next pair of shoes will take you on clouds... that you never want to get off of..."

Strong, high and on season. These probably look good with anything.
