It’s pouring in New York today–luckily, we were walking to work clomping through puddles with impunity, thanks to our excellent Tretorn ‘Kelly’ boots.

Should Women Be Required To Hurt Their Feet For School? (No. Duh.)

Should Women Be Required To Hurt Their Feet For School? (No. Duh.)

You know those women who sort of slip, stomp, scuttle and skid their way down the street while wearing heels, knees awkwardly bent? Hello, hi, that’s me, I apologize for the eyesore.

High Seas Wedge

Last week we brought you a sneaker wedges Shopping Guide… but we secretly hoped you’d be pissed because they are hideous. This week we’re bringing you also-ridiculous wedge shoes but no sneakers in sight–instead, they are a riot of textures, colors and weirdness in the sub-$150 category. For those of you (like us) who tend to have a restrained aesthetic, sometimes a really oddball statement shoe can make an outfit look more deliberate.

Or… you know, just plain ridiculous. Whatever. Have fun. More »
