The Stiletto/Wedge Hybrid - Ahh

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a stiletto/wedge hybrid! Yes...A stiletto/wedge hybrid. I realize this may not sound quite as dynamic as, say, Superman, however for all the women who are not privileged enough to be carried (by shirtless men feeding us grapes... oops, fantasy moment, my apologies) from point A to point B, it is nothing short of a synonym for the term superhero. P.S., I will let you know when I discover a phone booth that supplies red capes.

In a sense, the term "pump" has sort of lost its stamina to its 21st century contemporary stepsisters, the ankle bootie, the sneaker wedge, the moto-boot, etc. So in an effort to resurrect our dinner's-in-the-oven-laundry-is-folded housewife roots and mix it with I-don't-have-a-driver-and-have-to-walk-to-catch-the-train modern working women's actuality, I present to you, the stiletto/wedge hybrid.

Chic enough to still be considered formal, but with an urban twist to make it, well, walk-able.

Women of the world! Let us revolt in an effort to stop avoiding cobblestone roads and drain grates!
