FAQs
What makes wedge sneakers different from platforms or regular sneakers?
Wedge sneakers have a lot of things in common with regular and platform sneakers, but a few key differences set them apart. They still feature the classic lace up design and laidback style, but with a bit more height and a unique shape you won’t find in platform sneakers or low-profile styles. The effect is a clean silhouette combined with more height and edge than a flat everyday pair of sneakers.
Are PUMA wedge sneakers designed more for fashion or everyday comfort?
When you lace up with PUMA wedge sneakers, you don’t need to choose between style and comfort, you get both. We’ve included IMEVA in the soles, meaning you get the best possible fabric technology that delivers a lightweight and comfortable feel even when you’re wearing a more chunky style like wedges. They’re perfect for putting on regardless of whether you’re heading out for a running errands or a date night. Our sneakers are made for going the distance and keeping up with every step you put down. Pair them with our stylish socks for the ultimate in comfort.
How does the hidden wedge heel impact support and stability when walking?
The way PUMA wedge sneakers are designed is with support that spans the full width and length of your feet. The wedge heel also distributes your body weight evenly across your foot, this causes reduced pressure on the ball of your foot and arch making them a more comfortable heel. This still was first intruduced in the early 2010s and is definetely making a comeback.
Are wedge sneakers suitable for all-day wear or longer periods on your feet?
Absolutely. While they might feel different to your regular Speedcats when you first lace them up, they’re made for everyday wear in mind. While they do give you a boost and a more unique shaped shoe as a result, they sit closer to your natural foot position than you might expect, meaning they’re still comfortable, even for longer stretches on your feet.
What outfits pair best with wedge sneakers for casual and streetwear styling?
Wedge sneakers were major in the 2010s, so taking style and outfit inspiration from the last decade is an easy way to get started. Go for a straight leg pair of pants and a relaxed fit hoodie for a laidback look. Or, if you’re heading out with friends, combine your wedge sneakers with a mini skirt, a neutral coloured t-shirt, and layer up with something more modern like a motorsport jacket for a refined but athletic outfit.
Do wedge sneakers provide enough cushioning compared to standard sneakers?
Yes, PUMA wedge sneakers were designed to give you solid comfort with our IMEVA cushioning. If you’re only used to running shoes with high levels of padding and shock absorption, it can feel a little different, but these are perfect for everyday laid back outfits.
How should wedge sneakers fit compared to other PUMA footwear styles?
Our wedge sneakers offer a regular fit and are true to size, so we recommend ordering your usual sizing when you’re ordering online. You might notice how they feel is subtly different from flat profiled sneakers when you first start wearing them, but with a rounded toe and fastening over the top keeps you feeling secure and comfortable. If you do find they don’t fit perfectly, you can also arrange to have them returned to get the next size up or down within 30 days of delivery.
