For anyone who’s ever thought that wedges are too safe, I dare you to slip into these dangerous silhouettes! Okay, maybe they’re still pretty safe footwear, but they’ll have you feeling like you’re living on the edge and that’s much more fun! These shoes break the mold by cutting it – they’re embellished without embellishments, streamlining your style. Here are the wedges that made the cut:

Chloe Black Leather Wooden Wedge Cut Out Boots: Chic wooden wedges with a barely-there cutout. You won’t find these high tops on the basketball court but you might find me court-side with them on! On Ssense for $1.095.

Jeffrey Campbell Black Leather Cut-Out Roxie Wedge Boots: Boots might be made for walking, but with built-in handles, maybe they’re made for carrying, too. On Ssense for $200.

DV8 Julia Cut Out Wedges: Like to deviate from the style curve? This wedge will be your guide to full-scale rebellion. But with less stability in the back, remember to lean forward! At Bloomingdales for $139.

ETS Callatay Soft Derby Wood Platforms: Handmade Parisian footwear on sale! A little nip in the back and a tuck on the front is all it takes for a wild effect. On LN-CC for $759.
