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.

She carried a Chloe Aurore medium leather bag and flaunted her legs in shredded AG skinny jeans.

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