Remember when we all thought New Balance sneakers were strictly for dads who grill? Or when ballet flats were pronounced dead, only to come crawling back with mesh toes and jelly caging? The next shoe that loves to be hated, sneaker heels, has arrived. I have a feeling it's here to stay.
When I first saw sneaker heels—specifically, Isabel Marant’s sneaker wedges—I cringed. It felt like a Y2K fever dream that I was ready to bury, next to Jeffrey Campbell Lita boots and my 2007 Tumblr account.
