Given the unusually warm weather we have been having, I have been obsessed with wedges lately!

I am digging these:

I just ordered these in my regular size (9) and they were too big so I am now waiting for an 8.5 pair. They seem super comfortable.

I love the look of wedges, but I can't do high heels. I got these wedge sandals to try and I hope they work for me.

The bottom right ones seem so feminine. I normally don't do animal prints, bit would totally do those, as they seem neutral with a kick. Do you find the ones w/a platform wobbly? I love wedges too. I could use some black summery ones.

A. Do you bring an extra pair of shoes to work if it rains? I remember many times commuting and getting totally soaked. That raffia doesn't hold up well in rain.

argh this is not what I needed! :) I'm still playing catch-up from your thread about wedge ankle boots last season. I didn't want to get any then because I was pregnant and my feet were swollen. Now I'm in wedge boot and any kind of other boot overload. It's really warm here, but I keep hoping for cooler weather to wear my new boots....otherwise I'll have to wait for the fall.

My old espadrilles are totally falling apart. I need new ones.

billysmommy - who makes that 3rd pair?

I only have one pair, the Ugg Hazel II, thanks to your rec:

I like how the brown heel is a bit dressier than the cork.

This Ivanka Trum (http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/ivanka-trump-edian-sandal/3307162?origin=keywordsearch&resultback=293)p orange peep toe wedge sandal is cute for spring:

They're from Nordstrom, their site says it's an exclusive.

Turquoise is a great summer color.

I would totally get these if they had my size. I would love a brown/nude cork wedge. These look alot like the Ugg hazels to me.

I tried on a bunch yesterday at Nordstrom Rack, but couldn't find a perfect pair. I can't really do heels. I've been reading about Earthies, and might try a pair of those.

I really like these, but are hesitant, because I don't know anything about the brand.

I've also had my eye on these Franco Sartos, in a few colors, particularly the black, olive, natural and orange.

I like these...could probably wear to work with pantsuits.

I need a lower cost version since I wouldn't be wearing them very often. I found these at Kohls.com that I think I will order. Either the orange, or the nude.

How is the sizing on the Toms? Are they ok for wide feet? I've been looking at the canvas wedge in ash or this pair:

I'm also loving my new Ugg wedge sandals. They are so comfy that I'm thinking about getting a black pair too.

I really wanted to love these from Franco Sarto (http://www.shoes.com/Mobile/ProductDetail.aspx?p=EC1308201&pg=5077197), but they were a bit narrow across the top of my foot. Loved the kiwi color too!

DD2's teacher is tall, probably 5'8'-5'10" (honestly I am bad at judging height but she is way taller than my 5'5"), and she was rockin' those wedges!! You could totally do it! :)

Are the Toms wedges comfy? They had some pretty brutal reviews on nordstrom.

Also, has anyone tried any nine west casual wedges?

I'll let you know when mine arrive and I've tried them for a bit. I did try them on in store, and they seemed comfy, but maybe a little tight across the top of the foot. I know Tom's stretch quite a bit though. I have a friend who wore them all last summer and thought they were super comfy.

My Tom's wedges are the most comfortable wedges I've ever owned. They were a little tight in the top in the beginning, but quickly loosened and were my go to shoe all last summer. Stylish (more than the regular Tom's) and flattering.

Liking the cole haan wedges so far in case anyone is interested!

They run a 1/2 size large IMO.
