Measuring at barely 5’2,” you are probably able to agree I’m a bit vertically challenged. Nonetheless, I’m the type of girl who almost always places comfort before style. You normally won’t see me in a pair of stilettos unless I have to appear at a special function like a wedding or funeral. Even then, I still try and find footwear that won’t hurt my tootsies from being on them for a long period of time, which means I usually sacrifice the extra height for coziness. Plus, I don’t want to look like a short girl trying to seem taller —if you know what I mean! However, what if I tell you there is a shoe out there that offers a combination of the height of high-heels and the plushness of high-top sneakers all wrapped in a sexy and stylish design? Meet Upere Wedge Sneakers!
Established in 2012, Upere is a new, bold fashion brand specializing in bringing women of all types of walks and different ages high-end and trendy wedge shoes plus sneakers. The family business prides itself in offering wedges that can both show women’s inner beauty while still being fundamentally conducive to the health of their feet.
Upere sent me a pair Aster Wedge Sneakers Suede Leather Navy Blue from their new 2013 line for review in size 37. The Baylay vintage inspired wedge sneakers features premium leather suede upper, three Velcro straps, oval toe cap, anti-slip rubber sole, hidden 2” heel, and symbolic stars (one on each side).
The wedge sneakers fit like a dream and run true to their size! Constructed with a hidden wedge, what I love most about these shoes is the way they secretly lengthen the look of your legs giving an overall sexy appearance to almost any outfit. They pair wonderfully with skinny jeans, leggings, shorts, skirts and dresses! The shoes are perfect for running errands, shopping trips, or wearing during a night out on the town. Definitely, they make a positive fashion statement with their nostalgic oversized padded tongue and your feet won’t pay the price for looking chic, since they are sooooo comfortable. I had no problem walking, jumping, or even running in the shoes. Try doing that in 2” high-heels without breaking your neck or killing your feet!
The only thing I did notice was upon arrival the shoes had to be aired out for a few days, due to the odor of the dyes used in making the wedge sneakers. Other than that, I LOVE my new Upere trendy shoes and would like to add more styles the company has to offer to my shoe cabinet. I should note the price of the Upere Aster Wedge Sneakers is currently $249.00 and though that might seem a tad costly—you get what you pay for! The shoes are well constructed with quality materials and built to last!

These are cool enough, and tall enough that I could wear them while driving my motorcycle. I’d love to be able to wear comfortable shoes instead of boots.
Those are so cute!
oh there cute i’d so rock a pair
They look like fun – love the picture collage in the review! great job
The sneakers look so cool and unique! I love all the different colors they offer!
I’m going to be honest; I’m just not behind this trend. They look cute on you (you are very slim) but on most people they just look clunky and sort of ugly.
these look really comfortable
I don’t much care for wearing heels but these I think I would like because they do look good with jeans and jeans are what I live in.
They’re really cute. I always feel self-conscious in high heels, but maybe these would be better since the heel is less obvious!
Thank you for the wonderful review, and we are really glad you enjoy the sneakers. We are having a wonderful working experience with you, we would like to cooperation with you more.
I think these are super cute! I wanna rock a pair!
they lood weird..i would try em..
They look cute on you, but not my style.
Very trendy! I like how walkable these look, unlike your average heel.
Never saw these til I came here today, very interesting. I would try them on and check them out.
My girlfriend is in love with these! Thanks for the post!
Those look incredibly comfortable
That is not a shoe that I could pull off. At all. But I think you wore them well.
Very cute, I don’t think I could rock them like that, but they look great on you!
They are cute, but not my style at all.
You look so cute! I am doing a review and they definitely need airing out! Happy weekend!
Those are some very cute shoes.
This is one of the uglier shoes that I’ve seen. It looks like some weird boot hybrid.
i cant belive im saying it but i love the wedge sneaker look! they are so cute
What a neat look!
Those are cute shoes! I hadn’t heard of them before. Thanks for the review!
they look so comfortable, ive never seen anything like them before which makes them great because they are unique
These shoes are so cute. I love the look of them and they look so comfortable!
They’re not for me, but they are cute on you!
I think they look strange, to be honest.
I think these are absolutely adorable,!!
Oh gosh, these shoes just aren’t for me! haha. They are sooo big!
These shoes are cute. I love the look of them and they look so comfortable and since I’m short I love the height it would give me.
those are some high hi tops..lol but they are very cute my daughter would love them
Uh no, I wouldn’t wear them. I hate wearing shoes and it’s too much shoe for me.
I’m 5’4″ and I work with teens and children. Do you know how tall kids are nowadays? Lol. I need all the height help I can get and those sneakers are cute and would make me taller.
I really don’t like those shoes lol
I LOVE these sneakers you were so lucky to get to review them! They are comfortable I tried a pair on recently in the store!
cool sneakers, they look like something from back to the future!
Look good on you. Not for me.
I would wear em!
i would maybe wear them in winter – i am only 5’3″
These shoes are very striking. They really make a fashion statement!
I love the built in wedge. I could use the extra height without having to wear high heels.
Totally unique
They seem like they would be comfortable to wear. They resemble the looks of the 70’s!
I would proudly wear these shoes.They are so cool looking.
