Wedge Sneakers

I am conflicted by the wedge sneaker trend.  When I first saw celebrities and fashionistas in the above Isabel Marant sneakers or the Ash version, I thought they were hideous.  However, some of my favorite bloggers have been wearing them and look adorable.

I also saw them all over the place in NYC.  I think my favorite look was black suede sneakers and leather leggings.  I can't tell if I am just getting used to them or if I actually like them.  I understand the appeal of comfortable and snow appropriate shoes in a place like NYC or London or another city where you need shoes with rubber soles (for snow/ice) and are sick of Hunters.  If I ever bit the bullet, I would start with a neutral and budget friendly pair like these Steve Madden sneakers.  Living in a place that is less receptive to trends, I don't think I could ever pull them off (i.e. my husband would make fun of me).  I will stick to the duck boot if I get sick of my Hunters, just like my bestie, who was inspired by one of my our favorite bloggers --



Do you rock the wedge sneakers or do you stick to more traditional cold weather gear?

  1. I totally agree -- they have completely grown on me! Still not sure I'm brave enough to try it, though.

  2. I can't tell either! The thing is, I think thy're be really comfortable, so I'm tempted...but they do seem like the sort of odd thing that will just be out in a season.
