new_look Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 I think some mentions of this topic have been posted before, but cant seem to find the thread. People have posted pics on the board of trainers (sneakers to our us friends) with a heel. Examples were wedges blocks and even stilettos. My dress style is usually of a sporty essence, and smart stiletto or block boots dont really fit with tracksuit bottoms too well. I would be interested in buying something of this style but my searches have failed to find anything except the steve madden wedges which im not too keen on. Do any of our experts of heels know where i could find such items, pref in UK. cheers daz
Heelfan Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 I hope someone out the will help Daz with a source for wedge-heeled trainers/sneakers/sports shoes/plimsolls/deck shoes. Cheerfully yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards!
hoverfly Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 I have not seen the trend hit Europe as much it has in the U.S. For a wedge type sinkers Steve Madden and it's clone from Payless are the only one I know of in that stile. Payless sold out in the size 12 in just a week but my have others sizes aviable and another version with a chuncky 3" heel. I don't think Steve Madden is available any more. But here in the U.S. Bakers http://www.bakersshoes.com has several version in stiletto stiles available. Note: the Tomahawk version is a size larger than normal. Hello, my name is Hoverfly. I’m a high heel addict…. Weeeeeeeeeee! 👠1998 to 2022!

Rockpup Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 I just got a pair similer to those from payless. 3" comfortable heel. I do plan to wear them out since I can walk in them without dificulty.

Firefox Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Of course, one problem with wedge trainers is that there are very few styles on offer, so that the ones that are available may not fit the trainer style types you prefer. There's no answer to that, other than learn to like the style that is on offer. I often find if I wear a pair of shoes I come to like it more and more.
new_look Posted January 7, 2004 Author Posted January 7, 2004 thanks a lot folks, greatly appreciated. the styles above arent bad at all actually. if anyone knows of any more, please post however thanks again daz
GrayLion Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 I like them but they are only available in women's 10 to 11. I have 13, sometimes even 15 (EU 45) ... :-( Bernhard
onyourtoes Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 I bought a pair of the PayLess ones about a month ago on-line for $19.99 -- size 12. They were comfy and all, but I just didn't like the way they looked on my feet. I put them on ebay and they sold for $77.00! I looked at the buyer's feedback and HE has bought quite a few pairs of large heels, often for pretty high prices.
