Are these cool or ugly? I can't tell anymore

Most of the time I prefer if the "nude" is a tad darker than my natural skin tone. These would be a true nude, for times when I really need to up my game. I have true nude heel cage shooties that are 3" high and platform pumps. I found that I don't wear pumps anymore. I think the wedges could be a nice replacement. The cage shooties are amazing, but they are very high!

I have a client who loves these, Rita!

The colour really depends on your own skin tone and how they blend or complement. Try them and report back.

Are they cool or ugly - you crack me up. But it's so true

I am not a wedge lover, so I am the lone "nay" so far. They look too plain vanilla to me in, like, every way.

Definitely cool!
I think the wedge keeps them looking way more current than a regular pump would look at that heel height.

MaryK, Well, who can deny that a 4" heel is sexier, but how many of us other than you, the queen of heels, can actually walk in those?

I think they are okay, but not great. I think they may look better with a chunky heel rather than a wedge.

Parsley, that's so funny. You and I have totally opposite ideas about the wedge pump. To my eye, a pump should have a heel and if it's a low heel, I am totally cool with that. The wedge on the plain yet dressy style like this one just looks "off" to me. OTOH, I love a fun casual wedge like a sandal or an espadrille!

MaryK, I'm having the same reaction but I don't know if it's rational... that's why I thought I would post it here... my pumps are not working out and I need to replace them with more functional shoes.

I can't wear Cole Haan, but I would wear this style. I do love wedges though.

I've had these similar Cole Haans in my cart thinking the exact same thing Rita. Can you try them and see if you feel cool? I love wedges for comfort, but the lower ones tend to feel a bit frumpy. I think I prefer open heels or something more interesting to up the oomph.

I'm kinda in the same boat at MaryK here, but it's not the wedge itself that bothers me, it's the wedge style. I don't know why, but I don't care for covered wedges that "blend in" with the rest of the shoe. But I love a defined wedge in cork or wood or a striped fabric, etc.

That is just my totally biased opinion.

Joanne, I was just looking at the air tali today for Michelle in Toronto. They are nice shoes. I have the Quilted Wedge in greige, which are more causal. These would be dressier.

I'm a total wedge person when it comes to work stuff. I would so wear these shoes.

I'm not a fan of wedge pumps or patent leather, but if the color works with your skintone, I'd say it depends on what you wear with them. They could look orthopedic if worn with frumpy clothes.

I'm not a fan. I agree that a chunky heel looks better than a wedge with this style of low-vamp shoe.

Jeanne and Rita, those are NAS wedges from last year and they are extremely comfortable (the snake skin that you linked to). I have many happy clients in those.

I love wedges--love! I wonder about the shiny creaminess of the color :). Only one way to find out, though!
