Sporty heels
March 17th, 2008It’s interesting that some women are more comfortable in heels than flats, feeling that flats are unflattering and don’t provide the support of a heel. Feeling awkward in flat shoes usually makes fashion sneakers a no-no, but with heeled fashion sneakers coming back, they might be an option after all.
I’m personally sticking to flat All Star Converse, but if you like the idea of an uber-casual heeled shoe, the wedged sneaker trend is for you. You won’t look odd wearing this heel to a sporting event.
I had a pair of athletic inspired wedges in the ‘90’s, but they weren’t as sleek as the styles that have surfaced this season. I’ve tried on the silver pair on the right and they are very comfortable.

Hmm… I can’t help it, to me heeled sneakers have always just looked silly. Especially the ones that are actually high heels and not wedges! Yuck!

I don’t care for the look of a heel with shorts…but these might be a good compromise. I like the green ones. Although, such a memorable shoe might be difficult to wear often. I think I’ll skip this trend.

I think a gal who could wear these would have a big fun spirit and be quite young. I’m afraid I’m too shy to make such a statement. Also to old! Ha!

For me, it’s either one or the other LOL
If I wear sneakers, I’m casual. If I’m dressy, I wear heels

Those remind me of those flip flops from a few years ago with kitten heels: strange.

Not for me. The look tries to hard to be something it isn’t.

I love them! I think they have just the right edge to give that cute look to something sporty. I think it is all in the way you wear things. I just may look into these :).

I thought you might Phoebe. You can definitely pull this look off with style. Go for it!

I had a pair of platform sneakers that I wore for my first day of high school… I think I will be skipping the trend this time around though! I am one of those people who doesn’t like flats, but I do wear sneakers a lot - the difference is the sole. Most flats have soles that are paper thin, which I find uncomfortable (3 inch heels don’t seem to be a problem though!). I do have a few loafer/moccasin flats that are slightly more supportive and walkable.

I have never been able to get in to the look, not even in the 90s. Sneakers are dead for me more or less.
