Wedge sneaker is great for those of us who have high arches. I can't wear a flat sneaker, because there's not enough arch support, so this makes the sneaker approachable for me.

I'm a designer too, and I absolutely love them. I seriously need a pair!

The black sneakers would be perfect without the wedge as a cute sneaker. I think people invented them in the 80s and are trying to re-invent it which is going horribly wrong.

LOL, but the black ones are kind of cute. Although, I wouldn't wear them.

I think even the great geniuses have missteps.

So then, how can a "shoe great" like Christian Louboutin be designing such a thing? Was a gun put to his head? Or is he completely off the mark?

oh my. I think strange combinations are often... well, just strange. Not appealing. Not interesting. Just strange - or actually, weird. And Ugly, one must not forget - because these sure are ugly!

Elisas last blog post..The 80s are back - RUN!!

Wow! Not sure which is worse. Well, hopefully your experience will help others to AVOID this trend. Thanks

I had a pair of "sneaker wedges" when I was in 7th grade. As the 2nd shortest girl in the 7th grade, I felt I NEEDED them. We called them high-heeled sneakers.

By any name: yuck. What was I thinking?! I claim being 12 and it was the 80s as my excuses. And mine were lavender and gold. the gold was reflective.

Better or worse than the high-heeled Timberland boot?!
