Advantages: Range of colours, cheap, look very pretty

Disadvantages: My feet slip about in them

THE SHOES
These shoes have a cork wedge heel and rubber soles, while the fabric part is made from imitation suede (which in my view just looks pretty much the same). The suede part is made to look as if it is in a knot, and this part covers your foot, while the tip of the shoe is peep toe.
With 10cm heels (2cm at the front), they aren't as high as some wedges, but if you're only around 5'3" like I am, these will definitely give you some much needed height.

COLOURS AVAILABLE
These come in black, coral pink, light brown, white with a pinkish cherry pattern, and a gorgeous jade green. I own the black pair as I feel they go with more outfits but I wouldn't mind getting the green ones as I think they look the nicest out of the entire range - I think they'd look fab with black jeans.

WEAR AND COMFORT
I think these look lovely with skinny jeans and bootcut jeans, and if the weather gets better I'm hoping to wear these with 3 quarter length black skinnies also - very 1950s.

Because I live in Converse and pumps nowadays, I am not as used to walking in heels as I was a few years ago. Therefore I can't walk in these very far personally, but for others who are more used to heels I'd say these would be a breeze to walk in.
I find that when walking in them, my feet slip out of them a wee bit and I have to scrunch my foot up to keep them on - so if I was buying them again I would buy a size smaller so that they fit neater. I have this problem with almost all open toed heels though so it's probably just me being odd.

In terms of comfort thankfully these have not cut my heels or toes yet, and the suede part does not dig into my skin. I also haven't gone over on my ankle yet due to the wedges - miracle!

Admittedly I have only worn these a few times so far but they still look brand new and I have not found that the heel has worn down or the suede has stretched.

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY
These shoes currently cost £14.99 which I think is a brilliant price. H&M offers very good value for money as nothing costs the earth, but I have always found their products to be long-lasting.

You can buy these online (article 87-3015) or in stores - I got mine online and they arrived in a clear plastic bag in perfect condition.

WOULD I RECOMMEND?
Yes. I think they are a lovely pair of shoes, and look much more expensive than they actually are. Wedges have been in fashion now for a few years, so these would easily do you for several more summers.

Summary: Lovely wedges from H&M
