I've seen a lot of people wrinkle their nose at the thought of wearing wedge sneakers. Considering how often people wear wedge tennis shoes, without realizing it, they might be wise to wrinkle a little less. Right now get a mental image of your sneakers, or go and pick them up and have a good look. Is the heel slightly higher than the toe? Congratulations, you own a pair of wedge tennis shoes! A wedge is defined by a heel that goes from under the foot to the ball of the foot in a triangular shape.

The wedge is the perfect heel for a sneaker because it supports the whole foot while cushioning the heel. Wear yours with pride!
