Espadrilles and sky-high wedges

Mentioned on the AOL welcome page with pics!

Anyone purchase any new spring/summer espadrilles or wedges yet?? I
can't wear them due to lower back problems. Any high heel height
bothers me. I did find a pair of low wedge shoes from zappos. and am
looking forward to wearing them. I do love the look of these
especially with summer fabric skirts and flowy dresses.

I love espadrilles and have a pair or two from Barcelona hanging out in my
closet waiting for warmer weather. I love the look of the wedge
espadrilles, but am waiting to see some thrifty versions first. I do love
the Michael Kors wedges, but don't want to pay the price.

Kors' regular line looks too high for me, but he has a girls' line that
looks about right--2" platforms and wedges. If you wear a 5 or 6, you can
buy a 3 or 4 in girls' shoes. At $50+, they aren't cheap for kids' shoes,
but that's downright reasonable for (semi) grownups.

M Elizabeth...

thank you for the info! I didn't know he had a kid's line. Where did you
find these?

[curious] do you know if they're comparable quality to the adult shoes?
I've found that kids shoes are often (a) shoddily made and/or (b) don't have
as much padding b/c kids grow out of shoes fast enough that it doesn't
matter.

I've ordered a cream canvas pair from Silhouettes (wide width). If they fit
and I like them, I'll order a second pair in black.

I have my espadrilles from last summer. The pair from Arthur Beren
haven't arrived. They are the SW patterned ones. I can't wear the ones

Shoes.com has some of the Kors kids' shoes. Nordy, too. (I think the
opening page for Nordy's sandal section shoes a pair of sky-high Kors
women's sandals and a pair of platform espadrille girls' sandals.)

support. It is like walking on cardboard.
