Isabel Marant Hidden-Wedge Sneakers: The Look for Less

Isabel Marant's hi-top sneakers are loved the world over by fashionistas and celebs for their sporty good looks, but more importantly, for that hidden wedge that gives legs just a little lift. Variations include the Bekett, Bird, Bazil and Willow, presumably named after designer-pal Stella McCartney's children (via). Each pair sells for about $625-755.



Supermodels love their Isabel Marant sneakers, including model-turned-actress Rosie Huntington-Whitely, and VS Angels Alessandra Ambrosio and Miranda Kerr.

Ready to join the glamazon crew with your own pair of hi-top sneaks? Here's option one, from Wanted, $69.99 in black or brown at endess.com.



Option 2: Zigi Soho wedge sneakers in brown, white or black for $69.99 at dsw.com.



And I saved the best for last: Option 3 is Target's Xhilaration "Selma" wedge sneaker, the perfect knockoff because it comes in multi, silver metallic or solid black for just $29.99 each!



UPDATE: 3/19/13
Forever 21 has a unique floral wedge sneaker for $37.80...



...and Charlotte Russe has dozens of wedge sneakers now, in unique colors like coral or turquoise, for around $40:



Who's going for it?!

I don't get the appeal. They look like the devil spawn of moon boots and '90s Reebok pumps. Yuck!

I have a bright red pair from DSW (Rock & Candy Sportier Wedge.) Super comfy! For me, the appeal is actually how ridiculous they are haha. I feel like they're almost the shoe equivalent of the ugly sweater :-)

There is a version on Go Jane too which I love! They are a little more expensive that the target version ($45) but they have a taupe/teal/blush color combo I just love!

I can't. I just...can't. Maybe I just don't have an eye for fashion but I really hope these aren't the next skinny jeans/leggings.

I wish the ones from Target in black (or any color for that matter) were left online in my size! :-( Is this a recent item or have they been out for a while? I have been searching for an inexpensive pair, but I didn't thunk to check Target!

Not a fan. Should anyone over 21 should be wearing those?

I love the wedge sneakers! I have found a couple of cute, affordable pairs from Chinese Laundry!

I am a 37 mom of two and I wear them. They are definitely higher fashion then your average Keds but....who cares? They aren't as comfortable as my running shoes but are more comfortable then my high heel boots. I ordered mine on August 20 and got then last week from Target. They were back ordered then. Always check Target's shoes/ new arrival the have stuff that never makes it to my small town store.
