XTI // Wedge Trainer at Barratts

Wedge trainers aren't exactly new, at first I didn't understand why an earth you'd want to take the sports wear from the gym and turn it into a fashion hype!? I mean there's plenty of pretty shoes lined up in the shops...they may butcher your feet at times but they look great!? During the sales I started to come round to the idea of wedge trainers. I spotted a few designs on the high-street, hit the shops to find that not only did they lack quality but they were a lot less comfy then some of my sky scraper heels!? Surely there had to be some comfort out there.

While browsing Barratts offerings I spotted these babies from XTI, a brand I hadn't stumbled across before. They were and still are reduced, along with an added 20% off code now advertised on the Barratts website. My wedge trainers arrived incredibly quick, while delivery was free. Already impressed I couldn't wait to try them on before wearing them as much as I can over the past almost two weeks.

So what makes them so special? Comfort. Normally with any wedges and heels I have to wear them around the house before I even dare the shortest of outings with them. Despite being a UK4, they fit a UK3 perfectly. They hold my narrow foot in place, they're cushioned, I almost feel as if I'm bouncing. While having weight to them, they're incredibly light and easy to walk in at just 3 inches high. The triple Velcro fastening won't be to everyones cup of tea, but it sure makes it easier to take them on and off while out shopping.
