Wedge shoes were the in-style in the 1970s and ’80s. After the craze ended they became one of the least popular fashion choices until recently.

To bring you up to speed on what’s currently trending in fashionable footwear, here are the 10 best wedge sneakers of 2020.

Katie Horgan shares her take on the situation with two of the hottest trends in sneaker fashion for 2020. Her top picks include G by Guess Dayna, as the leader This women’s sneaker is a stylish rendition of high-fashion footwear in a wedge styling for the additional height that makes the legs appear more slender. The upper features a unique quilted pattern that gives it texture, and a metal applique of the Guess logo lets you know where the shoe originates. This is a beautiful sneaker but it has a lot more to offer. The shoe is made of lightweight materials to keep your feet fresh and comfortable when you’re on your feet all day. The toe is round so your feet can expand into the soft fabric lining. The footbed is also made of soft cushion material. It laces closed to allow you to make the perfect fit adjustments.
