I very rarely suffer from buyer’s remorse, but every once in a while I come down with a case of non-buyer’s remorse<\/a>. Right now I have it bad for the silver Giuseppe Zanotti wedge sneakers that Sporty Spice wore at the Olympic closing ceremonies.<\/p>\n

I loved those sneakers when I saw them, but I sternly told myself I had flat-soled silver sneakers that I don’t wear very often<\/a>. Plus, I already had\u00a0black leather wedge sneakers by Ash Shoes<\/a>. I didn’t know then that my love for wedge sneakers would grow so much. The wedge sneaker is perfect for those of us who don’t like to look too<\/em> casual (or short) when out and about, but still appreciate comfortable footwear for things like schlepping through airports and dancing at concerts. When I got dressed to see the Go-Go’s<\/a> last week, I really wished I had those silver wedge sneakers to go with my silver Stacy Lomman jacket.<\/p>\n

Zanotti currently has flat-soled silver sneakers<\/a>; pink-patent wedges<\/a>; and silver wedges with a sheepskin lining<\/a>. None of those are quite right. I’ll have to keep an eye out for a return of the non-sheepskin silver wedges or patent wedges in another color. Pink sneakers are not for me, especially during October, when I’m already fed up with breast-cancer-related fundraising and pinkwashing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sorry, but fundraising with a pink energy drink weirds me out. Click for more information.<\/p><\/div>\n

If you want ideas about how to work wedge sneakers into your own wardrobe, the Huffington Post has resolved the technical problem that made my wedge-sneaker story there inaccessible for a few weeks. Woot!<\/p>\n

The Go-Go’s, by the way, were fantastic. Lead singer Belinda Carlisle’s voice sounds the same as it did 30 years ago, and it’s still a thrill to see an all-female band. “Girl power!” — as the Spice Girls would say — and it didn’t require pink.<\/p>\n
