I started a thread about them recently, that's how disgusted I was Grin

They were the ones with a hidden wedge- that's right, all the comfort of a wedge with the stylish look of a flat trainer. Er... What?

For someone who is 5ft tall I think they are amazing!

I think the majority aren't nice but some are. If I wear flat trainers I feel like my feet look too big like I'm an L shape if I stand to the side as I have skinny ankles. I tried on <a class="break-all" href="//www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=4.bp.blogspot.com/-RNgZwQnIZkY/TxyT5JgIAkI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/5oj_n-7ivwk/s1600/aldo_netz.jpg&imgrefurl=sf-smile-or-die.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html&h=1481&w=1481&sz=284&tbnid=7d0166U-MJVMnM:&tbnh=111&tbnw=111&prev=/search%3Fq%3Daldo%2Bhidden%2Bwedge%2Bsneaker%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=aldo+hidden+wedge+sneaker&usg=__PX_aSBpP0QJEDIaH5K94gC7B1Zk=&docid=c3u3MJ-cMotoXM&sa=X&ei=-oWJULu5OoWH0AWQk4CgBQ&ved=0CDUQ9QEwAw&dur=2130" rel="nofollow noindex" target="_blank">these and I felt like they looked more flattering to my feet and legs and they were comfy. Although, looking at the picture now I do think they look pretty strange, and are sure to date quite quickly I think?

But why not just wear heeled or wedge boots?

Isn't the point of trainers to be comfortable?

Oh no no no Grin
They are great but I think you need to invest as the cheaper copies I have seen are far from lovely.
perhaps it is because I am 5ft Wink

I love them, probably because I am 4'11 tho.

These are the latest effort from the designer who "created" the wedge trainer. I love how they have tried to extend the trend into winter and inadvertently make a pair of hooves perfect for a Daisy the Cow costume instead.

Grin TheCraicDealer! They are hilarious!! Made my night! Daisy the cow costume indeed.
In 10 years time, those will definitely be looked back at in horror!

oh that link's baaad.

wedges on closed shoes or boots are wrong anyway, unless you specifically want to look like you're correcting 2 club feet

I don't mind a wedge, but trainers (wedge or otherwise) are too sporty-looking for me. They just don't suit my look.

But I have seem them looking good on other people.

Prefer wedge trainers over wedged boots

pumpkinsweetie · 26/10/2012 09:57

I like the look of them, but i wear trainers to be comfy and for me they'd be too painful for everyday wear and not dressy enough for going out so tbh i cannot see the point in their creation.
But then again i'm a daily heel wimpGrin

IMO heels on trainers and wellies are just wrong. But that is just my personal opinion.
