Just when it looked like the heyday of wedge sneakers was over, out comes the trend originator herself, Isabel Marant, with a new Fall/Winter 2013 redesign. Because it’s Isabel Marant, there’s no question that it will click.
In fact, we already spotted Rachel Bilson, a card-carrying member of the young Hollywood trendsetting set, grabbing the opportunity to test them out on a rare chilly day in LA. Carrying a Chloe Aurore medium leather bag, she flaunted her legs in shredded AG skinny jeans.

The redesign fits and looks like the pioneering Isabel Marant wedge sneakers, but a closer inspection reveals that they’re actually more of a cross between wedge sneakers, snow boots, and … mukluks?
