Shoe of the Month: Platforms and Wedges

Towering platforms and wedges combine all the things girls love in footwear- a little bit of height, straps and lots of style options. Be careful up there, though, platforms and wedges can be unsteady, causing instability and problems with balance. Also, excessive height can lead to ankle rolls and falls. Try lower platforms and wedges with secure ankle straps, cork material bottoms for shock absorption and traction for slippery conditions. When wearing this shoe type, always avoid uneven terrain.
