Wedges

Wedges are the type of shoes that you can never write off. They reached their epitome of supremacy in 2010 and years later, they have made a comeback with more structural elements and a more slimmed silhouette. The wedge shoes provide greater balance and are ideal if you find it hard walking in heels but at the same time want a little added height. To get the best out of this style, go for wedges with block color interpretations and uniform fabrications that offer timelessness.

Platform Heels

Experience new heights, literally, with the sky-high platform shoes that feature chunky block heels and colorful fabrics. They not only have been spotted by fashion icons like Carrie Bradshaw but also dominated runways starting from Ermanno Scervino to Sportmax. You can create a subtle look by complementing the platform heels with oversized jeans and a shirt or go for a minimalistic look by pairing them with a printed mini dress accessorized with a colorful clutch. A block sole makes these shoes easy to wear.

Flatforms

Amidst the buzzy  shoe trends here come the 1999 flat platforms again. Unlike the previous versions, they have added a few inches to give you a wearable that enhances your height and makes a statement.

Most shoe styles that have made it into the trendy list of summer shoes are mostly inspired by the 90s. At the top of the list are the wedges, platform heels, square toe loafers, and platforms. While the first three give you a few inches off the ground, the latter is more comfortable to walk in especially if you find heels challenging or you are in the process of transitioning and adapting to high-heels.
