This season’s “it” shoe is the wedge sneaker and it’s giving new meaning to the term ‘high-tops.' Wedge sneakers made their first appearance a few years back (between 2006 and 2007) and came in a style that made fashionistas a bit skeptical. After some revision, they made a second lap around the style scene in late 2011 with the emergence of Isabel Marant’s Bekket high-tops and became a hit to style leaders everywhere. Now, it seems, every celebrity from Beyonce to Dakota Fanning is stepping out wearing these sky-high sneaks. 

On the outside they appear to be regular high-tops, but inside there is a hidden wedge. The combination of height and comfort is a trend we can definitely get on board with; time to throw the ‘beauty is pain’ motto out the window folks! What's even better is that they're simple to style. Pair them with everything from cut-off shorts, to leggings or jeans; even wear them with your favorite summer sundress! Yes, they are that versatile.

While the Isabel Marant sneakers are an amazing investment, they are not exactly economically friendly to all. But don’t fret! Many other designers have started coming out with their own variations of these trending kicks. Below we've found five adorable options, in ranging prices, so that every fashion lover can kick it with this hot trend.
