Re: HELP! What material is this?
There is a high-density foam material that is used for the heels and platforms of shoes at a wide range of price levels. I found out the hard way, by breaking the heel (!) on a Max Azria wedge. The material itself is white, but I believe it can be colored in the formation process, or of course surfaced with anything one wants, from painted faux wood to real leather (like my doomed Max Az's). The signature feel of it is its light weight, and a very slight shock-absorbing sense when walking on it (which encouraged me to walk too fast and break the heel in the first place!).
