This 2006 Spring and Summer season sees the return of wedges in playful colours with natural materials and soles.

Wedges are a must have for any girls wardrobe for lots of reasons.

High heels give you the benefit of lifting your bum, lengthening and slimming the overall look of your legs and ultimately creating confidence.

Wedges are an ingenious invention because you get all the advantages of the heel without the heel hassle. Heels are great if you are comfortable walking in them and not everyone is. Having a shoe with a wedge heel makes walking easy, you don't even realise you have heels on.

Being at the height of fashion this season, there are lots of style variations to choose from. Wedges come in cork, hemp and other natural materials giving them a real summery theme. Pretty ankle ties or straps give a prettier look and different textures, patterns and colours make wedges impossible to resist.

Wedges will become one of the most versatile shoes you own because they team up so well with any oufit.

Short skirts, knee length skirts and capris look great with wedges that have ankle ties.

Mule or open toed wedges jazz up your jeans and sandal wedges add a little sexiness to your summer dresses.

If you are looking for something to wear on a day out or to take on holiday choose a pair of thongs [flip flops] that have a cork or lightweight wedge.

This season, heels really are a girl's best friend and with wedges being such a major influence in footwear fashion you'll never be stuck for something to wear.
