The Unexpected Rise of Sneaker Heels: Comfort and Style Combined
When it comes to fashion, comfort and style are often seen as two opposing forces. But what if we told you that there is a new trend in the shoe industry that is breaking this stereotype? That’s right, we’re talking about sneaker heels.
Contrary to popular belief, the return of sneaker heels was not a planned move by any fashion designer. It was a happy accident, thanks to Sara Blakely, the inventor of the world-renowned Spanx and now the creator of Sneex. According to a brand representative, Blakely’s initial goal was to create the most comfortable high heel in the world, and this is where her innovative mind led her.
Sneex is a brand that focuses on providing women with not only stylish but also comfortable footwear. And they have certainly hit the mark. In just one year, the brand has seen immense success, with their Tepper in Silver selling out within 24 hours of its launch and garnering an 11,000-person waitlist. What’s more, one-third of the brand’s customers have already invested in a second pair. And it’s not just regular customers who are loving Sneex; celebrities like Jane Fonda, Sofía Vergara, Reese Witherspoon, and Suki Waterhouse have been spotted rocking them.
The reason behind this craze for sneaker heels is simple – women want height and wearability. We all know the struggle of walking in high heels, but Sneex has changed the game by providing comfortable options without compromising on style. As the brand representative puts it, “This trend validates that women want shoes that combine fashion and functionality.” And with the demand for such shoes only expected to grow, Sneex is here to stay.
Speaking of their latest releases, Sneex has unveiled two new colorways for spring – The Blake in Lavender and The Icon in Sand. As a fashion enthusiast, I was curious to try out these shoes and see what the hype was all about. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed.
The first thing that caught my attention was how comfortable these heels were. I have tried many high heels in my life, but nothing comes close to the level of comfort that Sneex provides. The secret behind this lies in their meticulous design process. The brand has mastered the art of equal weight distribution, a wider toe box, and a smaller gap between the bottom of the foot and the sole of the shoe, ensuring stability and comfort.
But the real question was, how would I style them? To my surprise, Sneex turned out to be incredibly versatile. I was able to incorporate them into both my office and weekend looks effortlessly. They added a sporty touch to my casual Friday outfit with jeans, and also added a fun element to a retro-inspired weekend brunch look. And the best part? I didn’t experience any discomfort, slippage, or blisters, even when I tried them with and without socks.
However, it’s important to note that Sneex currently only offers sizes 5-11 and does not come in half sizes. But don’t worry, the brand has a helpful sizing guide on their website, and they recommend sizing down to the next whole size if you are in-between sizes. As someone who usually wears a 6.5, I tried both the size 6 and 7 and found that the size 7 was the perfect fit for me.
While Sneex may not be suitable for formal events like black-tie weddings or upscale dinners, they are perfect for adding a touch of casual chic to your outfits. And although the price point may seem on the higher end for a casual shoe, the quality and comfort they offer make it worth every penny.
If you’re wondering where you can get your hands on a pair of Sneex, head over to their website.

In conclusion, Sneex has successfully combined comfort and style, making sneaker heels the must-have footwear trend of the year. And with their commitment to providing the best quality and design, we can expect to see them dominating the shoe market for years to come. So why settle for uncomfortable heels
