Wedge Trainers

What is a wedge trainer?

If you're not familiar with this trainer style, the wedge heel trainer is a hybrid silhouette that combines a classic trainer's sporty upper with a built-in wedge heel. Wedge heel trainers help elongate the leg and add noticeable height without the discomfort of a standard heel. 

Unlike sporty gym-wear trainers, designer wedge trainers feel sleek, sophisticated, and premium: the perfect choice for the style-conscious woman who wants lift, a laid-back aesthetic, and everyday comfort on busy days. 

Plus, unlike classic wedge sandals, where the wedge is obvious on the sole, hidden wedge trainers often look like a regular trainer, with the wedge concealed in the design for a more illusory lift. 

Are wedge trainers still in fashion?

While women's wedge trainers boomed in the early-to-mid-2010s, mainly around 2011 to 2014, wedge trainer shoes are very much coming back into fashion thanks to celeb endorsement and Gen-Z take-up. 

While the first wave of trainer wedge boots were bold statement pieces, today's wedge designer trainers have a more refined aesthetic, better suited as a long-term wardrobe investment than a fad trend. That's why we've collated styles with clean lines and luxurious materials for timeless appeal. Instead of a hyped-up, fleeting trend, these dependable, elevated wedge trainers for women can come back season after season.

How to wear wedge trainers

When styling wedge trainer boots, treat them as the stars of your outfit, not just trainers you threw on. Despite their striking style, they're versatile and pair well with everyday pieces like oversized tailoring, knitwear, and wide-legged trousers. If you're feeling bold, contrast them with a dress for a dynamic, unexpected look.

For sizing and fit, look for a secure, snug feel across the instep and heel to accommodate the elevated pitch. Premium leather styles will soften and mould to your feet over time, keeping your high wedge trainers comfortable from the office to the dancefloor.
