too many wedges? - YouLookFab Forum

Can a girl who is 5'3" who loves wedges really own too many? I got rid of all of my slingback wedges that I had in several colors last year and opted to get more comfortable ones last year.

I added two Clarks open toe versions in both Nude and Black. (find below)
I wore them in heavy rotation last year.

I also added in two closed toe versions which I loved as they took me into Fall months. I bought them in Blush and the Blue you see below. I also wore both pairs a lot last season.

Looking forward to this season, I ordered a pair in green , which are on their way to me now.

Now comes the dilemma are 4 pair of the closed toe ones too many because I am drooling over the red ones, too. I don't have a good red shoe in any form and it's been a HEWI for me, so does it make sense to get it in this form?

I love the colors, Tracey, but am not feeling that wedges are really on trend this year.

always trying

I am not a big fan of wedges, but I can see why you love those colors. If you want heels that high and it works for you then add the red if they all get a lot of wear they must be comfortable for you.

I like them. They add height and are still comfortable. I see them as kind of classic. Add the red!

I'm 5'3" also and mourning that I can't wear my favorite pair of wedges because of foot injury. Anyway, why not get a red wedge but a wedge with a different sole than these, to change up the look a bit. Or one of the red shoes in Finds that has a heel.

I thought these were super cute, but I don't know if they're comfortable.

I think it depends if you will get enough wear out of all of them. I'm not personally a fan of wedges even at 5 foot 2, I feel they look clumpy on me and only own one pair which are a riff on some cork platforms I loved as a 15 year old- the pair I have is cork also. But I do love the rope on the soles of yours, and the colours, so if you will wear them all then go for it, why not? Seems like if the red shoe is a HEWI, and you will get the wear in this form, then it's good to do it.
I don't duplicate shoes, maybe styles of shoe, but looks like you have success when you do it.

They're your signature: you can't have too many!

I love wedges. A heeled shoe that can go all day.

Joy

These wedges look like a classic summer shoe to me, sort of an upscale espadrille. Go for it. Red shoes go with everything

cindysmith

I agree with joy. They're kind of a classic. They kind of look like a heeled espadrille

I say go for it too, as these are beautiful shoes. However, I am a duplicator. I found some sandals that I liked and I bought them in red and black. For me, colour variation can be enough to feel that it is different - for others more variety is required.

I am a duplicator and an enabler. Plus - red would be awesome. My feeling is that if you know you love them, they are comfy then they are like a signature style for you. Red would be a pretty great addition for spring and summer.

kkards

i'm thinking in your climate these are 6 month shoes, right? so if these are what work for you, then go for it.

RobinF

I love how the closed-toe style crosses seasons. If you would wear them I say go for it. You know they work well for you and the new color would be used with your wardrobe.

Why not wear the shoes you love? You can never have too many!

If wedges are your look - milk it.

I'm a duplicator and just bought the fourth pair of some sandals that I like (Bernardo Maverick). So when you find something that works, why not?

Heh. I tidied up the shoe farm myself today and I couldn't help but notice the redundancy of oxfords, gladiators, platforms, creepers, block heels and corset styles on show. All much loved, all repeating themselves. It's good to know what you like.

That espadrille style wedge is such a classic though. Can't go wrong.

TraceyLiz65

Okay , thank you all so much for chiming in , i discussed it with DD 25 and DH and DD said, she'd borrow the red, lol. DH, said red is his favorite color and I need to wear more of it, lol !

So I ordered then and am sure that with 4 colors in this style I am definitely done! Thanks, Everyone!

Summer

I f you love them, Tracey, I'd go ahead. I love the Columbine's suggestion, too: so pretty!

Shoe farm. Approprio wins the internet comment of the day

At 5'2", I'm also a fan of wedges - I'd happily wear heels to most events but they can feel too dressy, especially for low-key family get-togethers, but I never feel too dressy (or unpolished) in my Cole Haan wedge pumps (which I have in black leather . . . and black patent leather . . . and nude patent leather . . . ) So I support your addition wholeheartedly!

Penny the casualness of the espadrille version is why I was so drawn to them for my lifestyle.
