Some of the comfiest heels you can ever wear are wedges and they are a great option when you want to couple style with comfort.  D&G brought back the wedges in 2010 and it looks like they are here to stay.  Because of the rubber heel, covered by woven hessian, wedges are incredibly comfortable to walk in and great for summer strolls.  Check out this woven hessian wedge sandal in a pink splashed/distressed canvas.  They have a 10cm heel and a pretty bow detail at the front.

2: Thick strappy sandals

Details or a mixture of colours on strappy sandals complete with buckles make for a great daytime look.  These stunning heeled strappy sandals in antique grey, teal & purple boast a raised platform sole and an 8cm cone shaped stacked heel.

When it comes to purchasing your silver shoes, any style goes this summer.  Whether it is pumps, platforms or sandals, the shimmer effect will brighten up even the dullest of outfits.  Choose a flat pump for an everyday look, think about some shiny gladiator sandals for a little bit of pizazz and in the evenings why not try these elegant silver strappy sandals featuring diamante encrusted straps running around the foot for extra added sparkle.  And an added bonus is their cushioned insole giving extra comfort.
