Around 60% of you approved of ASOS' super-chunky runway style platforms in last week's Yay or Nay vote, so I'm going to go along with that ruling and feature a few more examples of the style, starting with Faith's 'Habar' sandal which is now on sale at a reduced price of £52, which is a bit more affortable than ASOS' £85 wedges.
I personally prefer this style, as the chunkiness of the platform is balance out by the thicker T-bar strap, giving the shoe an all-over solid look. In this version of the shoe, there's only the subtlest hint of colour in the red sole, but it's also available in two-tone black and blue. £53 from Faith
We featured the mint green and black version of these t-bar wedges by ASOS recently: they're a 'clone' of many of the styles on the catwalk at the moment but I have to admit I'm not warming to them at all. They look extremely unweildy and clunky to me -- and are apparently causing quite a few model injuries, too! But what do you think - are you sold on this style?
I'm a bit surprised to see so much rubber on display here, since in this colourless form it's a material I associate more with orthapedic shoes than designer footwear.
But Chloé Accessories might just succeed in bringing rubber back big chunks o' rubber this summer, as seen up close these wedges are really rather lovely, and (whisper it) obviously comfortable too. The punched-out detail is super-summery and the ankle strap completes that folksy look just perfectly. £324 at My Wardrobe
I will be the first one to put my hand up and say that I am not the biggest fan of white shoes. In fact, I own zero pairs.
But that could all change after I spotted these adorable white wedges from Monsoon. The 'Miranda' style features a cute black contrast detail on the side, as well as a slingback ankle and peep-toe. I can picture them teamed with a tea-dress or high-waisted skirt. They retail for £55.
While reading Refinery29's Top Six Online Style Stars, my attention was drawn to a pair of gorgeous shoes favoured by Sabrina Speineau of Professionally Trendy (pictured above, right). Then I discovered they were from ALDO and my heart flew. They are the 'Maune' suede wedges that lace all the way up to the ankle. I especially like the slim wedge heel and zig-zag cut-out sections. They're retailing for $140 - just try not to wear them out like Sabrina, I dare you!
I spotted these wedges in the ASOS magazine a few weeks ago and have been eagerly waiting for them to arrive on the site ever since, so I could show you them. These are also available in grey and black, but I think this mint green colour is much nicer: while the heel is predictably, this season) super-high, the fact that it's a wedge rather than a stiletto means that it looks a little less "lady of the night" than some of the current crop of platform heels, while sacrificing none of its eye-catching style. They're £85.
These are the kind of shoes that sound like they just shouldn't work: they're a wedge t-bar heel (so far, so good), with a ruffled satin heel, which is a little bit puffy, making the shoes look almost like they're wearing a a little jacket.
Does it work? I think it probably does, but I also think I'd need to see these in real life to be able to tell for sure. If you want to do just that, they're £345 and available from Net-a-Porter.
