Wedge heels were first invented by distinguished shoemaker Salvatore Ferragamo in 1937

He sewed together the corks of wine bottles to make a heel. The idea behind his invention was functionality. A pair of wedges raised the heel and gave both, the heel and the arch of the foot support.

The heels were chunky while the upper part varied depending on whether it was a formal or casual pair of shoes. Peep toes and large embellishments were quite popular with formal shoes and lower heels with thick straps and buckles were good for walking.
By the 1950s, after wartime, wedge heels went out of style but came back in the 1970s. And today they are back again
