Blockbuster Wedge Shoes

2011 Shoes styles have gone native. Very high, stacked platform shoes in wood and sometimes cork bases. Great for elevation and with substantial leather straps can be very comfortable.
Wedges give instant leg lengthening effect without the stiletto wobble.
Some designers have gone for raffia styles eg Charlotte Olympia which is a great inexpensive (not the shoes) material used by shoe genius Ferragamo when leather became too expensive. Raffia and cork are light materials which is important when you have strap these to your feet and carry them at every step.

The current fashion for extra-extra long trousers resulting in the almost complete loss of sight of the shoes is an interesting development.
