Tag: wedges

So…I decided that I needed a bit of a statement shoe, one that is nothing like I already have. Browsing Aldo shoes website, I found the “for now” lust of my life, lol: the Calcagni wedge.  The interesting part is that I ordered them on-line, along with a 10% discount and received them in the mail. Upon receiving them, I noticed something rather interesting. The price of the shoe on the box was $20 cheaper than what is listed on-line. I immediately called the the customer service to find out if this was just the way pricing is at Aldo. The customer service rep was confused and wanted to make sure that I was correct about my finding (which is understandable) and so she checked my order and the price of the shoe on-line. She determined that I should have only paid a gross amount of $100 and not the $120 that I did pay. I was told to send in my receipt and that the difference would be sent back to me. I was elated! Thanks Aldo! Now, on to the REAL review. The shoes are VERY nice and I am so happy that I was able to purchase these. They are truly the statement shoes that I was looking for. The bold red color, hidden wedge and suede material speak volumes!! There also appears to a place to insert a strap that goes around the ankle. I must warn: for those that do not know, Aldo shoes always run a size or two smaller, depending on the shoe. Remember if you want these, order up a size or two. I got a size 40 and I wear a size 7.5 or 8 depending on the maker of the shoe. They are a tiny bit big but the 39 would have been uncomfortable and I’d rather be in shoes a little bit too big than too small. If you are not able to get your hands on this gorgeous shoe, there is a great alternative made by the Luchiny brand. The name of the shoe is the Sur-Fer Wedge in the color red. In fact, there are more colors including blue, gray, tan and camel. Check out my pic and enjoy!!
