I just couldn't get these wedge sneakers out of my head. I had even purchased the Ash Bowie sneaker in Cobalt suede last year, but returned them due to being unconvinced about the versatility of the color and sizing issues (they run small, so size up if you plan on purchasing them!). At that point, I tried to convince myself that I could do without them, but seeing as how they are still trending this upcoming spring and summer season, I decided that as much as I love the Ash version, I still wanted them but didn't need to buy an expensive version of the trendy piece. So I searched high and low for something less expensive that wasn't too cheap-looking and didn't hurt my hyper-sensitive feet. Ring: Le Chateau (Silver).
Bag: Zara Suede Tote (Black).
What I came up with were these Aldo Chism sneakers. At first, I thought they may be a bit too chunky/moon shoe-like, but I did love the look of these on. They are more similar to the Ash Cool Sneaker than the Bowie. So with my 14% off Valentine's day discount code, I went ahead and bought them and I'm extremely excited! My bank account is also very relieved that I didn't splurge on such a trendy item.
I purchased these in 6.5 to accomodate socks (I usually wear a 6 in pumps), and they're pretty darn comfortable (unlike the Steve Madden version). The wedge feels about 2.5 inches and it also has a bit of a platform, probably making the total wedge height 3 inches tall. They also come in white, red and camel for a regular price of $80. If you sign up for Aldo's newsletter (or have someone else sign up using their email address) you will be sent a 10% off coupon to use online or in-store. Occasionally Aldo will have coupons to use online or in-store between 10 and 15%.
LOVE. Even my mom and my aunts were admiring them. Anyone had a change of heart about this wedge sneaker trend over the last year or so, or do you still love/hate them?

No kidding. I really want a pair. Anything that's super comfy and gives me inches in height deserves a spot in the closet.
loving this look! very tough edge chic ;)
They look cute on everyone else but I still can't get myself to pick up a pair and I'm the shoe lover. The outfit is most definitely cute. I love the leather jacket. Great outfit Cher.
I love this whole outfit. What bag did you wear with it?
It's a Zara Suede Tote from last season. :)
Thank you for your review and the pics! I've been debating between getting the Steve Madden or the Aldo version for a while and this definitely helped.
