What to Choose: Wedges vs. Stilettos

Choosing the perfect shoe for a night out on the town or maybe a nephew’s birthday is a decision not to be taken lightly by the fashion conscious.

If you’re putting a lot of work into your outfit, then it’s important to know that it’s going to be the shoes that are going to be rounding off the ensemble.

Some get-ups call for a bit of height, but what kind of heels do you choose to go along with them?

Two of the more popular choices are wedges and stilettos, and keeping certain factors in mind, which one you choose is up to you. So is there a better choice between the two or is it all relative?

Occasion Specific – Formal or Casual?

While we’re not one to put restrictions on fashion choices, it’s been well-established that while wedges are for casual occasions, stilettos are strictly for the more formal nights out.

If it’s a day event that calls for more casual clothing, then you’ll find wedges to match up to your needs perfectly. It gives you the elegance of heels without trying too hard, while also not being too flashy. Stilettos in a casual event run the risk of coming off as too much. However, they undoubtedly have the glitz and glam you need to top off your evening wear!

Comfort and Stability

When it comes to comfort and stability, wedges win every time over stilettos. Stilettos are designed to look good. The heels tend to range anywhere between three to even eight inches in extreme circumstances. While technology has allowed them to be designed in a more stable manner than before, they aren’t easy to walk in. With prolonged usage of stilettos, you welcome the pain of blisters and muscle aches—but hey, what’s fashion without a little sacrifice?

If you’re more about the comfort, then wedges are perfect. They offer a stable platform to walk around in it, and there’s little to no chance of twisting your ankle or stumbling around in them.

Running around in heels is never particularly easy, and it’s made even more difficult when the heel catches in a crack on the sidewalk or scrapes against a rough surface.

Scuff marks and dark stains are difficult to ignore as they ruin the entire look of the shoe, so most heel wearers are likely to look for an easily accessible solution to their shoe repair woes.
