Enter the wedge sandal.
With the added height of aheelbut without the pain of a stiletto, it’s the perfect summer shoe.
On top of that, the wedge is quite on par with the revival ofY2K fashion.

However, skip the sky-high cork wedge and opt for the season’s slimmer takes (viaFootwear News).
What makes the wedge so comfortable is its distribution of weight.
The thicker heel is perfect for navigating grass yards without the fear of sinking in.

Fellow lady in powerKate Middletonis also a fan of the style.
While the royal-approved pair may be a little expensive, ASOS and Soludos are just as stylish.
Queen Letizia of Spainhas also been known to rival the duchess in her love for espadrilles.

Royally approved, wrap those strings tight around your ankles and run to your next summer event.
Perhaps the most iconic wedge “platform” are the black sandals.
Whether in leather or nylon, the thick strap of the wedge sandal makes the shoe even more comfortable.

This style is definitely for the more fashion-minded of your friends, usually coming in leather or even PVC.
Pair it with either loose jeans or a miniskirt to show off the white leather detail.
