Sometimes you crave the ease of a flat, but you still want a little lift for your behind. That's when the miracle of the mini-wedge becomes evident.

It's like a mullet for your feet, (only, you know, attractive): all business up front, and a party in the back.

The 1" heel is comfortable enough to wear all day at the office or while hoofing around town for a night out with the girls. And while even a dressy flat feels casual, the slight angle on the mini-wedge gives your feet a little flair.

Designers are finally catching on to the magic this season, giving us mini-wedges in a rainbow of colors and styles, from open toe covered wedges to patent leather animal prints with stacked wood heels. It only takes a little looking on Piper Lime to find a mini-wedge for any and every outfit!

In the gallery, cute mini-wedge options that range from round toe purple suede to yellow huaraches sandals.
