Why Every Mom Needs These Neutral Wedges For Summer.
Summer with little ones...ahh, dripping in sweat while chasing your child as she bolts in every direction possible on a quest to accumulate sparkly shells/be the first in line at the ice cream truck/get as dangerously close as possible to the road every time you blink at the playground. Sure, we may want to look all easy-breezy-summery, but for functionality purposes, many of us are relegated to flip flops or sneakers that make it feasible to carry a kid/catch a kid/stand for what feels like hours on end pushing a kid on swing.
The perfect middle ground for hitting the ground running? Wedges. But they need to be sensible wedges- even though I detest using the word "sensible" in any post relating to motherhood and fashion.
Here are 5 very stylish yet (she says in a whisper) sensible options to buy now- neutrals that you can wear every day, not too high, not too low, not too narrow, not too strappy...as Goldilocks would say, these are "jussssssst righhhhhht."
1: Splendid Genevieve Wedges: The elastic straps have the comfort you expect, but the fact that they are coated, disguise that way-too-sensible fact.
2: Dr. Scholl's Warner Wedge: Yup, you read that right- Dr. Scholl's. And, they are currently on sale so you kind of have to buy them just to see if I have totally lost my mind or Dr. Scholl's really are stylish, right? (I haven't lost my mind, promise.)
3: K. Jacques Thong: I have religiously worn this exact pair of shoes since 2010- I bought them for myself when I found out I was pregnant right before doing an on-air thing with QVC where I knew I'd be standing all day, and so glad I did.
4: K. Jacques Cork Wedge: Clearly I am sending you a message- K. Jacques wedges are essential. And this new version with neutral snakeskin-ish material is gorgeous. I like the extra support from the additional strap- and the fact that you can get said support without anything tying around your ankle because sometimes (ok, most times), you want your legs to look as long as possible.
5: Piampiani Sandals: This under-the-radar Italian brand has the coolest styles- and they are insanely comfortable. I own a similar pair and will be ordering these as soon as I finish this post- modern and minimalist but totally practical. Plus the slight wedge pitch keeps them from being at all nurse-shoe-y.
6: Blank Canvas Wood Wedge: The toe strap keeps feet securely in place, and love the sleek wood wedge as an alternative to traditional cork- easier to dress up when you feel like throwing on a black t-shirt dress and being slightly fancy.
