~Sole Searching~


From sweet kitten heels to sexy stilettos, these white, red and silver stunners promise a stylish walk down the aisle.

Wedding-Formal-Prom Shoes

Red Formal Shoes


Shopping for cheap wedding shoes is similar to shopping to any other footwear. Whether you're looking to strut your stuff in sandals, sling backs, or retro pumps, a proper fit is critical to comfort.

The bride should purchase a half-size larger shoe to wear on her wedding day and consider selecting a second style shoe that she can switch into during the reception celebration.

Silver Wedding-Formal Shoes
 

Break in the bridal shoes before the wedding, the bride should wear her shoes during the week before the wedding, wearing them around the house on carpeted floors for a few hours each day.


To avoid tripping on slippery floors in her wedding shoes, the bride can lightly apply fine sandpaper to abrade the smooth finish on the soles of the shoes.

 

White Wedding Shoes

The material of the shoe should match the fabric, style, and color of the bridal gown as closely as possible.

Satin Shoes


The wedding shoes are important to the proper altering of the dress. You must have the wedding shoes on, in order to have your wedding gown fitted properly. Changing the height will change the hem of the dress.

As to the particular style for the wedding shoe, there really is no absolute best. Your wedding day is to be a fun and wondrous day for you, choose a shoe that looks nice but is also comfortable to wear.

Wedding shoes can make or break probably one of the most important days of your life!

It’s a fact that if your feet hurt you will be miserable. You can of course take your shoes off but who wants to do that, especially when you went to so much trouble making sure everything looked perfect.
You want to look amazing and your shoes need to take you through to the end of the day without giving you even a hint of discomfort.


It’s wise to think about your wedding shoes before you consider your dress. If your shoes are going to be on show or you have a knee length or shorter dress heels are a definite must because they lengthen and slim the overall appearance of your legs.

Make sure you get the size right!

Don’t go for something that just fits, get the perfect fit and if you are choosing shoes with straps or ties, make sure they can be loosened or fit with a little space between the strap and your skin. Even if the weather is not particularly warm, your feet will swell just from standing on them so much.
