Wedge sandals are the comfiest heels around! Shop the 15 best wedges you'll live in all summer long
Whether you love wedges or feel the urge to run the other direction when you see them, I'm here to tell you that the chunky shoe is back. The major autumn 2025 shoe trend was plastered all over the runways, and there's no denying that. Don't worry, though – while certain types of wedges did have an excellent run during the early aughts (throwback to the wedge booties I loved in high school), the most comfortable wedge sandals that are trending for 2025 have gotten a total makeover. It's not just espadrilles that I'm crushing on. Expect to see slinky Y2K-inspired styles, sculptural wedges with a colourful modern twist, and strappy wedge sandals that'll replace your go-to wedding guest shoes, as well as sporty, comfortable wedges that are podiatrist-approved and look great with trousers. Here's a sneak peek! There's also no denying that they're one of the most comfortable shoes to wear, because according to podiatric surgeon Dr. Robert K. Lee, they put 'less pressure on the forefoot when walking' since they have a flat surface that touches the ground and, as a result, more surface area for your feet to press against. Wedges can honestly be even more comfortable than flat shoes since the angled soles could provide better arch support than a completely flat style. Not convinced yet? Maybe these cute (and comfy!) wedges will change your mind. To help you hop on the trend, I've rounded up all the most comfortable wedges around that'll make you want to retire your stilettos for good. Keep reading for the best comfortable wedges you can wear this season, including classic cork and espadrille wedges as well as elevated leather styles and more modern takes on the shoe.
