Ladies, are we doing wedge trainers this spring?

[Callipo]

I have fallen hard for the Isabel Marant Betsys (ooch they make me feel broody, though have not yet viewed in RL) but I need a budget option if they get through the MN Approval Ring of Fire..

That would be Betty, obv

link?

ah yes www.net-a-porter.com/product/185016

I hated them at first but they have grown on me and I now like them too even though in my head I know they're wrong and would look awful on me. Ash do some here but they are higher and a bit too chunky.

Sorry, no approval from here.

They look clumpy and I don't see the benefit of the concealed wedge.

Mm I like them < esp as I am short >

I like, prefer the Ash ones though, would wear both.

No, no and erm, NO

When you said wedge trainer I had visions of my old Schu platform wedge trainers returning

I quite like those in Fleecy's link

I think I like the idea of wearing trainers so I look all effortless and casual but the wedge makes your legs look longer and thinner. And what's not to like about that?

I bought the Ash Thelmas a few Springs ago and have worn them a lot. I like them with skinny jeans. I have regular flat Ashs too and prefer the flat ones. They are a real love 'em or hate 'em boot. I've often been stopped and complimented on them though.

They definitely do that Fleecy. Comfy too.

Oh I love a wedge. Just not a trainer wedge

they've got Cher Lloyd written all over them

Ha ha. You do have to be quite confident to wear them. I've had many a funny look in the park.

Nope. My PE teacher in the early 80's wore them. They were ugly then and they are ugly now.

I think they look good with skinnies and a bit of attitude!

Hideous and HOW MUCH?!

No.

No.

But Topshop do Marant-esque ones now if you're keen - less investment for something you'll not get much wear out of.

I love 'em. I have these
I am short too.

I also thought you were talking about the old Buffalo platform trainers. When I arrived at uni and got my first student loan check, I went straight out and bought a pair of these bad boys

I LOVED them and wore them every day for three years!

*cheque!

I had something similar to this in the 70's in denim. They were incredibly hard to run for the bus in after youth club .

ForwardOcho 's ones are lovely especially given the better price. Not going to go there though, as expect they are difficult to drive in too.
