The Kooples Wedge Sneakers

I know I've harped on enough about finding a pair of wedge sneakers similar to the Isabel Marant Bekket that'll fit my pixie sized feet. A reader wrote in recently to inform me that she saw a pair of Isabel Marant sneakers in size 35 at a shop I used to frequent in Auckland. Yay! I guess there's hope after all for people like me.







As I strode down King's Road on my way to Ash Footwear, I caught a glimpse of the most divine pair of nude colored wedge sneakers at The Kooples. I stopped dead in my tracks to have another good look. I've often heard friends of mine exclaiming how comfortable their heels are. I wondered if I'd ever have a chance to say that.  As I slid into shoes and walked around, I was amazed that I could walk rather comfortably. They're certainly not cheap at £220 compared to the alternatives in my previous post.

So far I've trekked up Farley Mount, went for a walk in the countryside and ran down the street in a bid to get to Lil L's school on time in these sneakers. I can safely say that I can run in heels now. This is quite a feat for someone who can barely balance on a pair of 2 inch heels. The cushioned insole and padding ensure a comfortable fit. The wide soles give more stability to the wearer. Unfortunately, The Kooples do not ship outside of European Union at this point in time but Ash offers good alternatives as well (available here, here and here).
