Wedge High Heel Metallic Platform Sandals

Platform wedges with a tall glitter wedge, a chunky platform under the toe, and a buckled ankle strap. These are wedge sandals built for the nights that go long: the lifted sole spreads your weight across the whole foot instead of balancing it on a heel tip, which is why a wedge this tall stays walkable.

The glitter finish comes in rainbow with rose gold straps or silver with silver straps, so they read festive with a tulle dress in December and summery with shorts and a tank in July. As platform wedge sandals they suit weddings, parties and festivals, anywhere you want the height without spending the night sitting down.

• Tall glitter wedge with chunky front platform
• Buckled ankle strap
• Open toe with a single metallic vamp strap
• Two colourways: rainbow and silver
• US sizes 5 to 11

Platform wedge heels you can actually stand up in

The reason a platform wedge works where a stiletto does not is load. A wedge sole carries your weight along its whole length instead of concentrating it on a heel tip the width of a coin, and the chunky front platform lifts the toe so the angle your foot sits at is far shallower than the back of the wedge measures. That is the whole trick, and it is why these are open toe wedges with a buckled ankle strap rather than something you take off at midnight.

Metallic wedge sandals in two finishes

The rainbow pair runs a full glitter gradient through the wedge with rose pink metallic straps across the toe and ankle. The second pair is a gunmetal glitter wedge with true silver straps, closer to charcoal sparkle than bright chrome, which is what makes it read as evening rather than costume. Both are ankle strap wedges with the same open toe and the same platform depth.

Wedge sandals for women, US 5 to 11

Sizes run US 5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 9, 10 and 11. By insole length that is 22.4 to 23.2 cm at a 5, 24.8 to 25.2 cm at an 8, 25.8 to 26.3 cm at a 9 and 27.3 to 28 cm at an 11. The chart notes a 1 to 3 mm variance because the shoes are finished by hand, so if your measurement lands on the line between two sizes, go up. Measure your foot flat against a wall at the end of the day.

Where a glitter wedge earns its place

Grass and gravel. A stiletto sinks into a lawn and a wedge does not, which is why outdoor weddings, garden parties and festivals are where these do their work. The glitter keeps them dressy enough for photographs. If you want the silver glitter heels look without the sinking, this is the version of it that lasts a whole night.
