Have my eye on a few nice pairs (altho will obv. only be buying one.....honest). But whilst my legs are not mahoosive, I am afflicted with cankles. Can I wear wedges or no?

Yes you can, as long as there is no ankle strappage. A mule wedge or sling back might be better, it will leave more skin on show and not cut you at your wide part.

Yes friend definitely.

But, as I possess not only cankles but fat toes and bad toe nails, I am looking for nice wedges (not too high, for daytime wear) with a closed toe.

Am fucked if I can find any.

Thanks for such a quick response

I can't find a link to the ones I want.

They are John Lewis own brand and are basically peep toe shoes in navy leather but with a really comfy 3" wedge (the wedge is an espadrille type).

They felt like butter on my feet when I tried them on

squeaver Too high ?. Don't forget they have a platform so in actual fact they are about an inch lower than they look and will be much more comfy.

Cankles do exist

Charlotte Church and Cheryl Cole are proud owners of them.....
