What's great about these wedges is that they give you the height (for fashion) but they don't give you the excessive 'foot tilt' forward, which makes for more comfortable wear and puts less strain on the joints, muscles, tendons as well as the ball of the foot. Each of these wedges has strapping of the forefoot, midfoot and rearfoot, which offers more biomechanical control and therefore allows for more comfort, less mechanical strain and less chance of injury.

I'm surprised you recommend these shoes. One step slightly off-center on a sidewalk or curb, and you've slipped off the shoe and sprained or even broken your ankle and/or foot. Working in an ER, I see this every day--it's become a common occurrence and these high wedge shoes are a major contributor.
Hi Elizabeth,
You are exactly right that stepping off a curb and twisting your foot outward creates the "Jone's fracture" which is the most common foot fracture. This fracture can happen while wearing a wedge heel sandal - it can also happen while wearing an excellent walking shoe.
These sandals are not for everyone and that's why I try to be careful about recommending who should and should not be wearing them (pathology specific recommendations at the bottom of the article).
However, I have many fashion conscious patients who need to know what type of fashion shoe they can wear so I try to balance the blog with "super-sensible" shoes as well as some more fasionable shoegear.
The main culprit behind the Jone's fracture is a shoe that bends or is flexible through the mid-foot area, which these are not. It's not to say that you can't fracture your foot in these shoes but the chances are significantly less than if you are wearing a flexible shoe.
Should a diabetic patient or someone with severe hypermobility wear these shoes? No! But, for patients who want a more fashionable shoe and if they have a biomechanical structure that can tolerate this type of shoe - these would be appropriate.
Would I love to have everyone wear a New Balance 928 walking shoe - yes! Is it going to happen - unfortunately, no. So, I try to offer a balance of sensible shoes and fashionable shoes options that are pathology specific for a variety of different patients.
Thank you so much for reading and I really appreciate your feedback!
Sincerely,
Cathy McCarthy
