Why is it that in the season which requires the most unstable activities - beachcombing, spontaneous lovers' walks, and socializing on all manner of grass, cobblestones and rocks - designers give us the most teetering toeholds on solid ground? It's a mystery, no answers here. Only a solution for those looking for height minus the heel - the thin, pointy stilletto, that is. A platform wedge like this Charles by Charles David option is the perfect way to gain a higher perspective without sinking into the neighbor's lawn. Though it poses it's own ankle twisting risks, at least you've got the balancing act down. Love the floral fabric, and the shape is a bit different to the perpetual peep-toes we're still seeing (okay, and loving) for spring.
