I KNOW most people will say I shouldn't like these. I know deep down in my heart they are shockingly wrong on a shocking amount of levels...yet I do really like them.
I give you the Adidas SLVR wedge trainer....things.
Our friend the esteemed Adidas Archduke, expert in all things Adidas footwear related, will be spitting feathers when he sees these.
Ugly shoes are like the underdog of fashion; I feel they need someone like me to champion their cause and stand up and shout "it's OK to not be pretty, dammit!", and vigoriously shake my fist at Them who decide what is or isn't acceptable footwear.
Simply, I reckon these would be bloody comfortable and you wouldn't mind if they get a bit trashed because technically they are trainers and that's their job.

i absolutely love them!

I'm sorry, but they are amazing! I need them for hours of sportswear joy. It would probably compensate for my lack of any sporting skill. haha.

I like them too!

I think they are great. NOTHING ugly about these. EVERYBODY should own a pair of trainers with mesh covered wedge. And they'll fit blue Lycra dress, just to mention one and add a lot of style to orthopedic sex vixen gear.

they are ugly beautiful and you will show everyone their full potential i'm sure!

I really like them and I think they have a lot of good things going on. White = elongating and they look unlikely to slip off. But above all, they are super nifty and mesh-y and futuristic. Please buy them so I can walk vicariously in your shoes!

I, too, am a fiend for hideous shoes. I'm currently searching high and low for men's disco platforms in women's sizes.

It is SO okay not to be pretty, but then again when I saw this last week or so, I went all 'oooo pretty intersting, I want it' okay fine, that's not the same 'pretty'.

I think I would probably like them in a different color. Although, when it comes to comfortable wedges, I think the B by Aperire shoes are a little more visually interesting.

uhoh... i totally fell for those.
I wish they had neon accents.

If I wear them will people think I'm sporty and fit? If so, I'm *so* there! I also have a soft spot for the so-called "ugly" shoe.

As a rule, I hate sneaker heels. In my neck of the woods, such things appear on ghetto fabulous girls with big hoop earrings and Baby Phat tees. But when I picture them on someone with your style, they could be really cool.

Uh.... Okay.
Maybe put together an outfit. I like the mesh...but....i'm on the side of no.
But enough people like em that they exist, right?
Posted by: katana | Wednesday, 10 June 2009 at 01:17
I want 'em!
Posted by: WendyB | Wednesday, 10 June 2009 at 02:20
I have a pair of shoes similar to these that my friends always laugh at! They are the most comfortable shoes I own without a doubt.

Sh, I like these too. Don't tell anyone...
Posted by: ashlie | Wednesday, 10 June 2009 at 03:34
I actually kind of love them, so don't worry, you're not alone.
Posted by: Jamie | Wednesday, 10 June 2009 at 04:38
Hah, these are absolutely dreadful which is why I would only trust them in your hands because you will undoubtedly make them work. I say go for it! Dominate their dreadfulness with a killer outfit!

They're not ugly UGLY, but they're definitely hard to pull off - I'm sure you can though!
