Daisy, I love those wedges! All summer I wore a pair of OTBT (Off the Beaten Track) wedges, their Bushnell style. They are so comfortable, and I felt a lot more stylish wearing them (normally I would slump around in flip flops). You may want to check out the OTBT site to see if anything there appeals to you!

sugarplum, I love those! Lots of selection and not too pricey. Would you say they fit true to size? Narrow, wide? Only problem with buying online is getting that first pair right.

Zappos has some OTBT styles and they offer free shipping and returns. Thanks for the tip on this brand--I see several styles I might try!

I like those! It is still warm enough here I can wear my sandals, I've wearing my darker ones and have on a pair of black wedges today. One thing I am definitely going to buy is a pair of the booties (ankle) with a wedge. I'm thinking maybe suede. :) Good luck and show us what you find!

Daisy, I think OTBT are true to size. I wear a 7 / medium width in almost all shoe brands. Initially, the straps were a bit snug, but they relaxed to a perfect fit after a wearing or two. (The sales staff at the store I purchased them from guaranteed me the straps would relax, and they were right). Plus, the foot bed is very comfortable and seems to have molded to the shape of my foot.

Daisy, That is totally totally my kind of shoe. Except one thing, does it snow where you are? I cannot imagine open toesies in the winter? Otherwise it looks like 90% of the shoes I have in my closet!

My style too! I'm going to check them out. I love Eileen Fisher shoes and have several pair. I'd say the styling is similar.

I'm not a ballet flat kind of gal myself (I also have big feet), but I found these shoes, Ahnu Tullia, that are so comfortable and get me as close to a ballet as I'm going to get.

Daisy, those are awesome!!

Mag, yours look great and comfy!

Thanks everyone! I thnk between these from anthro and the OTBT, I'll be styling all winter. I love the Eileen fisher too, but they are usually out of my price range.

Mtn: Does it snow where I am? Just a little (said sarcastically - cause I'm in the middle of the Canadian prairies), but my classroom is usually stifling. I was looking for closed toe, but I think these will work indoors. I'm just unconventional enough to wear them with thin trouser socks, too :)

Those are very cute summer wedges. I buy most of my shoes from Zappos. Those are called Weslyn. They also come in a black leather. If you want boots, look at page 1 and check out the Scarlet, then check out the Harley on page 2. I teach also, but must wear closed toe shoes for the lab/clinic portion of my course. My favorites are Dansko. Many of the teachers in my school are wearing boots of all varieties! I'm assuming you wear snow boots to/from school and change once you get inside. Comfort is of the utmost importance, so if you wear your Weslyn's with thin trouser socks, that's quite ok!

I have to put in another plug for Tieks for those of you who don't like ballet flats. Theirs are incredibly comfortable and Sooooo cute! I have a couple of pairs of the vegan shoes (stripes and polka dots) and a couple of leather pair and I wear them a LOT. I get Olukai shoes in a blucher style that are much more comfortable than Sperrys or LLBean.

Fly London. I have a pair of black ankle boots from last year that get a ton of wear and a ton of compliments and they are as comfortable as running shoes. They have a bunch of different uppers on this same sole (boots, booties, shoes, etc.)
