I'm gonna try and make some wedges (eventually) out of some 5.5" heels I've got. They were fairly cheap, the shoes are kinda scuffed up, and one of the heels is broken, so I figure they are good candidates for experiments.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what material to make the wedges out of? I was thinking of using wood, because I might be able to shape it the way I want. What type of wood might work best? If not wood, then what other material might allow me to create a strong wedge that I can shape?

Also, does anyone have suggestions for attaching the wedges? I was probably going to use the same kind of nails that were used to attach the existing heel, but I'd welcome other ideas.
