High heel sneakers

In the early 1960’s there was a hit song called “Hi-Heel Sneakers” by Tommy Tucker so I guess he had to get the idea from somewhere. Later we would hear the Rolling Stones sing “Put on your red dress baby and your high heel sneakers, cuz we’re going out to night”. But I have yet to see high heel sneakers on a night out.

One big advantage with high heel sneakers is that they are all a rounder’s. You can wear them to jeans, skirts, dresses, casual, cheek – and they still look great on you. And let’s not forget comfort. How often haven’t you been taking two pair of shoes with you when you go for a night out? One pair to walk in and one pair to be seen in.

I don’t know who was the first person to design high heel sneakers, but I think designer Cyd Jouny was a pioneer in the field. At least that is a name that pops up a lot when googling.

Now it looks like the trend is yet again in vogue. Brands like DKNY, Puma and Nike (and many more sport brands) are now designing high heel sneakers.

So now you have no excuse for not attending a high heel running competition.
