I was looking through Zappos recently and saw these sturdy-but-sleek wedges from Cole Haan. I like the slight circle beneath the wedge, as well as the generally narrow wedge heel.

If you’re trying to adjust to wearing heels again, wedges can be a great middle ground — you get the height while not having to totally master the balance issues that come with skinnier heels. (AND if you have your full-length trousers hemmed to work with 2-3″ heels but prefer something more comfortable for your commute, you can wear wedges and avoid having your pants hem drag on the ground.) I still remember stories years ago about how women on the campaign trail swore by a very specific style of Kate Spade wedge heels that it was thought of as an insider’s secret in DC.

I’ve pictured them in basic black (from Zappos, where they’re marked from $130 down to $99), but Amazon has a ton of colors in lucky sizes down as low as $38.

Because I have narrow ankles I often find shoes with straps easier to walk in — here are some other wedge heels that look great for commuting or learning to walk in heels…
