If you've decided to buy a pair of wedge sandals but still don't feel confident about wearing them, then you should ideally start with pairs that are one to two inches in height. You may also want to look at the shape of your arches when purchasing a wedge sandal. For instance, if you have flat feet, wedge sandals with lower heel height would be more comfortable for you. If you have higher arches, you can choose wedge sandals with a heel height above three inches (via Prevention).

You may also want to opt for strappy wedge designs as they give your feet more support. However, you would ideally want to avoid fragile straps made up of foam, plastic, or thin rubber and instead go with sturdier materials like leather (via Prevention).

Lastly, when you're walking in wedge sandals, don't try to slam your foot down all at once. Doing this could lead to injuries like a twisted or broken ankle (via Bustle). Besides, doing this would make you walk in an unsophisticated manner. The right way to walk in wedge sandals is to put your heels down first, followed by the toe. Follow this up with taking small steps, placing one foot in front of the other, as if you are walking in a straight line (via Who What Wear).
