Did you ever wish you could combine the comfort of your
favorite athletic shoes with the style of the heels you reserve for going out
on Saturday night? A recent trend
that’s been sweeping blogs and street style is just that-- the wedge sneaker.
This awesome alternative to dressing an outfit down just for
the sake of your soles was first created by the innovative designer, Isabel
Marant. In a recent interview with fashionista.com she explained her
inspiration:
“It’s something I did since I was a teenager. I would cut up
cork and put pieces of cork into my sneakers because I wanted to look taller.
And I always thought about this, what I was doing when I was young, and I
thought I should really achieve something around this idea. Sneakers are so
comfortable but at the same time it’s not very elegant. To have a little heel
in it makes a difference, it gives you legs–I mean, I know women, I am a woman,
so I know what we are searching for!”
She does know what we’re looking for-- you can tell just how
popular her design has become because the original shoe is selling on ebay for
almost $1,000. Luckily there are now some cheaper alternatives because of the
great demand for her first design. Here are some of the best:
Athlete Wedge Heel Trainers
Topshop - $75
Studded Sneaker
Zara - $99.90
KG Lexi Wedge Sneaker
ASOS - $175.90
Lleve Sneaker
Steve Madden - $89.95
What do you think of
this season’s chic comfort trend?
