The first cork wedge
was created by Salvatore Ferragamo, an
Italian designer who adapted the use of wood for the lighter more durable
application of cork. His design became popular in WWII, when rubber and leather
were in short supply, and the comfort of the cork wedge made it easy to walk
while gaining the height of a traditional high heel.
Cork wedges peaked in popularity during the 1970’s with new bold designs, which moved with the pace of the 70’s fashion. During this period, wedges were not just worn by women, but men too sported the platform during the disco era.
The most current shoe fashion has
been all about wedges, and cork wedges have been featured as the most
comfortable sandal to strut your stuff in……or just enjoy a casual stroll. The
reason being, they are a classic and stylish sandal, which supports your foot
while giving the lift so many women love but often can’t handle with other
heels. Sol Soles hand made cork wedges come in two distinct to allow for a short lifted wedge or a sexy high wedge.
