Would you wear wedge sneakers?Help! I am standing at a fashion crossroads. And I don't know what shoes I'm wearing. I can't decide... how I feel... about wedge sneakers.
When I first heard of this trend I have to admit, I laughed. I rolled my eyes. I brushed it off. "Who would ever wear that?" "How could that look ever take off?" It seemed completely ridiculous to me, and believe me, I'm generally more likely than most to espouse most of the more ridiculous fashion trends out there.
I'm eating my hat these days, because I've started noticing them on the streets more and more, and every time I sort of stop myself and go, "Huh," closely followed by, "those are kind of cute."

You know a trend is hot when Marc Jacobs jumps on board. There's bound to besomething for everyone in this many-hued collection, although I find myself partial to the orange.

My favorite of the bunch. Hands down. The pop of bright yellow is fun and trendy, but they are still neutral enough to pair with anything. I'd wear these.

Love the bright patriotic colors, but they're sort of bulbous in person. Although the puffy shoes might make legs look skinnier in comparison. Hmm... must investigate that theory.

These seem downright demure next to other styles available, and at a really great price point, too. Almost like lady-like Chucks.

Blue. Suede. Shoes. Enough said. *Except I'd also like to add that the scalloped detail on these is really quite lovely and feminine.

Jeffrey Campbell Rainbow7. Jeffrey Cambpell Rainbow Wedge
This pair highlights the wedge more than any other I've seen and I'm really on the fence about it. I do always love a pop of color though, and those rainbow stripes are pretty fun. I'm leaning towards approval.
