The Joy is the tallest wedge in the Charleston Shoe Co. lineup, and it's built to make a statement. At 6 inches with a 3-inch platform, the Joy gives you dramatic height, but the platform does the heavy lifting. That 3-inch platform offsets the wedge, so the effective heel pitch is closer to 3 inches. That means the Joy feels more like wearing a moderate wedge than a sky-high heel. You get the height without the tilt. An ankle strap and a toe strap keep the Joy securely on your foot, so even with the height, you feel stable and grounded. The faux espadrille wedge adds a coastal, resort-ready look that pairs with everything from maxi dresses and wide-leg pants to cropped jeans and a simple top. Inside, a padded insole cushions every step. The Joy is machine washable, so you don't have to baby a $190 pair of shoes. Just toss them in the wash and they come out looking fresh. Handmade in Mexico, the Joy is available in Black, Linen, and Primavera. This is the shoe for women who want to be the tallest person in the room without sacrificing comfort, and the one you reach for when the occasion calls for something bold.

Frequently Asked Questions How tall is the Joy? Is it hard to walk in? The Joy is a 6-inch wedge with a 3-inch platform. The platform offsets the wedge height, so the effective heel pitch is approximately 3 inches. That means it feels more like wearing a moderate wedge than a 6-inch heel. The ankle strap and toe strap keep everything secure and stable. Is the Joy machine washable? Yes. The Joy is fully machine washable. Just toss them in the wash and they come out looking fresh. What keeps the Joy on your foot? The Joy has both an ankle strap and a toe strap for a secure, two-point fit. Even with the height, the straps keep the sandal stable and prevent sliding. How does the Joy fit? Should I size up or down? If you are a half size, we recommend sizing up. The Joy is available in sizes 6 through 10. What's the difference between the Joy and the Bluffton? Both are espadrille wedge sandals that are machine washable and handmade in Mexico. The Joy is the tallest option at 6 inches with a 3-inch platform. The Bluffton has a 2 3/4-inch faux-rope espadrille wedge with no platform. The Joy is for maximum height, while the Bluffton offers a tall look with a lower profile. Both have padded insoles and secure strap construction. What colors does the Joy come in? The Joy is available in three colors: Black, Linen, and Primavera. Can I wear the Joy to a wedding or dressy event? Absolutely. The Joy's 6-inch height and espadrille detailing make it a show-stopping option for weddings, cocktail events, resort dinners, and any occasion that calls for a statement shoe. The Black and Linen colorways are especially versatile for dressing up. What does "effective heel pitch" mean? Effective heel pitch is the actual angle your foot sits at, which is determined by the difference between the heel height and the platform height. The Joy has a 6-inch heel and a 3-inch platform, so your foot is tilted at a 3-inch angle instead of a 6-inch angle. That's why it feels much more comfortable and walkable than the full heel height would suggest.
