I’m not a wedge person and never have been. Sure, I own a couple pairs but they are all low wedges- less than three inches high. I guess it’s because I associate high heels with formality and sensuality. Wedges are neither of those. Oh sure, there are some wedges out there that are great, some that could even be called sexy (see Amber of Shoeperwoman.com’s post on Kurt Gieger’s Hoshiko wedges for an example), but on a whole I think of wedges as “cute.”
Don’t get me wrong, I love cuteness, but when it comes to cuteness in shoe form I generally go for ballet flats. I’m just not a wedge person. So imagine my surprise when I saw these beauties on Zappo’s. These are cute wedges, not sexy wedges, but they are calling out to me. I love Betsey Johnson shoes almost indiscriminately so I shouldn’t really be surprised that she was the one to convert me.
I love the floral design so much. I swear, every year as soon as the mercury hits 70 for the first time I am gaga about florals. And the slight cartoonish vibe of those roses separates them from the many multitude of floral wedges out there this season. I prefer the dark contrast of the black and bright pink (oh how I love pink) of the ones above. But the white and pink are also great, although these roses are more traditional.
You can get them here for 89.95.

Oh wow... I really love these! SO cute!! Too bad I have a tough time walking in tall shoes. Ugh...
Those wedges are great! Betsey Johnson is the best:) Sometimes I wish I were shorter (I'm 5'11) just so I could wear cute shoes like these without being 6'4, haha.

Melanie, I know the feeling! I'm not as tall as you (5'7 and a half) but I live in a Jewish community and not to stereotype but the people around me are pretty short! When I wear my five inch heels I tower over everyone- even some of the men!
And I love Betsey Johnson too. She's one of my favorite designers!
