This is also an issue for fashion houses
The shoe doesn’t come without controversy because of its looks, though. For a long time, wedges were considered too bulky. But since the comeback of numerous trends from the 2000s, shoes with platform heels have become more popular, which also put wedges back in the spotlight. The comeback of the wedge heel has been announced since spring. Cult labels such as Khaite and Alaïa, as well as the luxury house Fendi, are opting for comfortable spring and summer shoes this season.
Princess Kate loves the wedge
In summer there are many events on the agenda, which often take place outside. Wedges are the ideal choice for this because they don’t sink into the ground and offer significantly more support and comfort than other high heels.
Princess Kate knows that too. The royal loves the shoe with wedge heels and uses them again and again in summer.
