If you want to avoid slips in the snow, leave stiletto-heeled boots at home and go for a modern pair of wedge ankle boots. With celebrities such as Alexa Chung showing off in wedge boots teamed with bare legs and a pretty dress, wedge ankle boots are as versatile as they are comfortable. You will find styles to suit everyone in the Stylight online shop, whether you are dressing your boots up for an evening out, or teaming them with jeans.

History

A type of platform shoe, the wedge was created by Italian designer Salvatore Ferragamo and has been around since the 1930's. Unlike a traditional high-heeled shoe, where the heel is separate, a wedge heel is attached to the sole in one single piece, giving greater support to the foot and making even the loftiest versions easy to walk in! These days, celebrities style their wedge ankle boots with party dresses and clutch bags for a chic evening look, or patterned black tights and a mini skirt, teamed with a cosy hat and scarf combination.

Styling

A pair of lace-up grey suede wedge boots look stunning teamed with mulberry coloured tights and a shift dress for a retro style. Swap your knee-high Le Temps des Cerises boots for some cute ankle boot wedges this season - perfect with skinnies and an oversized jumper for a look that is chic and comfortable. Whether you choose suede or leather boots, or go for something a bit different such as the sporty wedge boots available from Anna Field. No matter what your preference there’s a style to suit everyone, from pretty feminine designs to sporty looks.

Colours

Banish winter blues with a pair of coloured suede boots - more comfortable than your Shelly's heels and perfect teamed with a plain but stylish black dress from Plein Sud. While your Reebok trainers might be fine for an afternoon shopping, on your first date you want to look feminine yet relaxed. Floral ankle boot wedges are the perfect choice teamed with skinny jeans and a pretty blouse. Enjoy your shopping for K-Swiss items here on Stylight!
