Wood Wedges

Wood wedges... what a sight.  The organic look can transform your outfit entirely.  Nowadays, wood wedges are created using various leather and made in cool shapes.  It is a walking piece of architecture.   

The wedges were first introduced by Salvatore Ferragamo.  In 1935 he created the orthopedic wedge and the wedge heel soon followed in 1936.  They were made from wood and cork only because there was a rubber shortage.  Cork was the preferred material because of its lightness and the sole proved to be more sturdy and stable.
