Edge of the Wedge

On the heels of the popular winter wedge bootie, spring’s peep-toe styles are ready for their close-up.

Channel your 1970’s hippie chick with wide-leg denim paired with the suede Harwich Middy wedge by Clarks Elements ($130). The cork sole and added cushioning is easy on the feet without sacrificing the height. At Gravity Pope, 524 17th Ave. SW, Calgary, 403-209-0961, www.gravitypope.com

The flirty cut-out details make this Kate & Mel wedge ($130) a summer staple for evenings out, and garden parties in. Also available in black at Town Shoes, 751 Third St. SW, Calgary, 403-263-1997, Chinook Centre 6455 Macleod Trail, Calgary, 403-255-5270 and Market Mall, 3625 Shaganappi Trail NW, Calgary, 403-288-1034, www.townshoes.com

Aldo’s Krone wedge plays on the colour-blocking trend while adding some serious height (over four inches to be exact). $110 at Aldo, www.aldoshoes.com
