these are my very first pair of wedge boots. they are dark brown and have a 3" wedge heel. i love wedge heels. they are really comfy and as long as i'm not walking on uneven ground/surface, they are really solid and stable (as opposed to stiletto heels). i feel like i haven't purchased wedges in ages. in fact, i bought one pair of wedges in 2009. those white leather cork wedges are my shoes of 2009. i love them! in 2008, i bought two pairs of sandal wedges which i got such a good deal on. seriously. 2007 was a big year for wedges. i bought four pairs. 2006 brought only two pairs, both of which have been worn so much that i ought to throw them out. but i haven't, yet.back to these... i feel like i am wearing futuristic combat boots. they make me feel tough, like i can walk through snow in them. and everyone knows what a big wuss i am with snow, or cold weather in general.
