Road Test: Isabel Marant Wedge Sneakers
Pumped up kicks are on the feet of “it” girls everywhere. The stiletto-meets-sneaker was the ultimate must-have accessory at fashion month in September, inducing an international fashion phenomenon that was instantaneously followed by an international wait list. Seen on the feet of fashion editors, bloggers and supermodels alike, the original wedge sneaker by Isabel Marant (master of casual-cool Parisian chic) is perhaps the most coveted within the fashion set.
I velcroed-up in one of the new Resort 2013 styles for a playful romp around the park adjacent to our flagship store. Paired with the leather leg and an oversized knit, I took to the jungle gym to test the athletic abilities of the 4 inch heels.
Did they feel like 4 inch heels? Not at all. In fact they felt like my running shoes, but boosted my posture the way only a fabulous pair of pumps can. It’s no wonder this unlikely trend has stuck.
Isabel Marant shoes are expected to deliver in December at Neiman Marcus Dallas-NorthPark, Houston, San Francisco, Ala Moana and Coral Gables.
