Women's Genuine leather wedges sandals in this summer

When the summer sun is directly overhead, one of the best ways to beat the heat is to wear the classic summer shoe: the sandal! Sandals are open shoes that afford the feet some breathing room, and normally consist of a sole held to the foot by straps that pass over the instep and around the ankle.

Though not quite as comfortable as Genuine leather wedges sandals, women's platform sandals offer another unique niche in the sandal world. Platform sandals, or sandals in which the sole of the shoe is raised can allow those of us who have a harder time balancing in stilettos to add some height without falling over.

The epitome of comfort, sandals have protected humans feet for over 10,000 years. The most historic sandals were flat, and the flat style continues to be popular today, in part because of the added comfort of walking parallel to the ground rather than at an angle.
