Sneaker wedges exist – and they’re horrendous. But would you wear them?

WHAT do you get if you cross a pair of wedges with a dad trainer?

DSquared2’s new Giant Heels, apparently.

Dubbed the ‘dad sneaker heels’ by Twitter users, the bizarre fusion has raised eyebrows across the internet.

The sneaker wedges feature a white chunky base, neon detailing and are held in place by a Velcro ankle strap.

What’s baffling about them, though, is the fact they also feature a wedge-like heel.

The shoes were revealed at Milan Men’s Fashion Week when several brave women wore them on the catwalk.

The merging of a dad trainer with a wedge isn’t an obvious one.

What’s more, the result is a towering, orthopaedic-like trainer.

Are DSquared2’s Giant Heels a publicity stunt, perhaps?

If so it’s working - people have taken to the internet to share pictures of the monstrosities and discuss their confusion.

Given the shocked reactions online, it’s not looking likely they’ll take off.

DSquared2’s creation isn’t the only ugly shoe to be given a heel recently.

Designer brand Balenciaga released a range of platform Crocs earlier this year - which sold for £600 a pair.

Even more bizarrely, the Crocs went on pre-sale with Barneys' New York earlier this year, and every single pair flew off the shelves within hours.

Then there were rumours that Crocs in general would be making a comeback this year, with eBay reporting 25,000 searches for Crocs on its site in April.

Then just this month, American fashion brand Alfie jumped on the Crocs zeitgeist, releasing a pair of Crocs with white socks built into the shoe. 

What's more, the shoes cost over £100 a pair.
