One of the most important things when shopping for your wedding shoes is that you need to purchase comfortable wedding shoes. Now, that doesn’t mean that I’m telling every bride out there that wedding flip flops or wedding tennis shoes are the only routes you can take when looking for comfortable wedding shoes. That isn’t the case at all. Different brides feel comfortable wearing different kinds of shoes, and some girls feel more comfortable wearing a pair of classy wedding shoes with a heel or other kind of elegant wedding shoes. So, if you’ve been looking around for a great pair of comfortable wedding shoes, and all you’ve been seeing are articles about how wedding tennis shoes are the only comfortable wedding shoes, that isn’t necessarily true. Here are some great ways to find a pair of comfortable wedding shoes that are still elegant and classy for your big day.

Trying on Your Wedding Shoes

One of the best ways to find a pair of comfortable wedding shoes is to try them on in the store, and be serious about trying them on. Try on both of the shoes, and walk around for a few minutes to see if there is any pinching, spots that rub particularly painfully, or any other factor that would make the shoes uncomfortable. If the shoes start hurting after a few minutes, chances are you won’t last in them all day at your wedding comfortably. So be serious when trying on shoes at the store, and take your time with each pair - you’ll be glad that you did.

Breaking in Your Wedding Shoes

If you find a pair of wedding shoes that you fall in love with, but they pinch a little and you think they just need to be broken in a little bit, be careful. You can try to break in your pair of wedding shoes by wearing them around the house or on short trips outside. (be careful not to get them dirty!) The only problem with this is that it can take a long time to break in a pair of shoes, and you’ll need to consider that carefully. If wearing the shoes give you blisters, you’ll probably get blisters from breaking in the shoes, and you want to give your feet time to heal for the big day. Also, you need to wear your wedding shoes with your dress while getting the dress altered, and if you decide later that the shoes you’ve chosen will be too uncomfortable - it could mess up the length of your dress. So be very careful when trying to break in a pair of shoes.

There are some good brands of wedding shoes that you can go with in the stores that are made to be comfortable wedding shoes for your big day. Just be careful when trying them on, and honest with yourself about how comfortable you’ll be in the wedding shoes you pick out. Trust me - you’ll be on your feet all day on your wedding day, and comfortable wedding shoes are a must!

I’ve been doing a lot of articles lately on wedding shoes. Partly because I understand just how important finding the right pair of wedding shoes can be for a bride, but also because I feel that there really isn’t a lot of information out there about wedding shoes. I remember when I was getting married, I wanted a pair of white wedding shoes that were most importantly, comfortable. First of all, my feel are shaped kind of funny, and so it takes me a while to break in a new pair of shoes. Also, I’m not real comfortable with wearing heels when I know that I’m going to be on my feet all day. That really goes for a pair of white wedding shoes that I haven’t been able to break in yet. So I knew that I wanted my white wedding shoes to be a comfortable pair of shoes that I could wear all day without my feet hurting. So when I was shopping for the perfect pair of white wedding shoes, I had some idea of what I was looking for, but didn’t really know where to start looking. So, if you are looking for the perfect pair of white wedding shoes to complete your wedding day look, then here are some great places to start.

White Wedding Shoes from a Bridal Boutique

Perhaps the best place to find a great pair of white wedding shoes is at your local bridal boutique. They typically have some very elegant pairs of white wedding shoes to wear with your dress in a variety of styles to choose from. Be careful with buying your wedding shoes from one of those boutiques though, they are not really known for having excellent prices. But, if you fall in love with a particular pair they have, then wait for a sale to be able to save some money later.

White Wedding Shoes from a Shoe Store

You can find a cheaper pair of white wedding shoes if you go and look in a discount shoe store. The only problem with this is that it can be really hard to find a pair of all white wedding shoes that you will be able to use for your wedding. I found my wedding shoes from a shoe store (Payless to be exact), and was lucky that it was spring time so that there were a few pairs of all white shoes that I could use for my white wedding shoes. Another idea that you can use to find some white wedding shoes are to use a pair of all white tennis shoes, which I talk more about in a previous article, Wedding Tennis Shoes

White Wedding Shoes from the Internet

Another idea for finding a pair of white wedding shoes is to look on the Internet. If you have pretty normal feet (unlike me, my feet are so narrow!), then this will probably work for you. You can find lots of white wedding shoes from different sites off of the Internet, such as wedding ballet slippers, or other wedding shoes that you can’t find near you. Whatever you do though, find a great deal on a pair of white wedding shoes.

It’s really not too difficult to find a great pair of white wedding shoes that you can wear with your wedding dress. Determine what kinds of shoes you feel most comfortable wearing, and then find a great pair of shoes that you can wear that will fit the bill.

You’ll find that on your wedding day, you’re on your feet nearly the whole day. I remember for my wedding, the only times I sat down were to have my hair and make-up done, in the limo on the way to the reception, and for about five minutes during the meal where my husband and I grabbed a little bit of the dinner we had planned before making the rounds to the tables to thank everyone for coming. Needless to say, I was very happy that I had some comfortable wedding shoes, or it would have been miserable for me to be on my feet for that long. In one of my previous articles, Cheap Wedding Shoes, I brought up the idea of using white wedding tennis shoes to wear with your dress. If you’re looking at the idea of wearing wedding tennis shoes, then here are some factors you need to consider.

Wedding Tennis Shoes Should be White

If you’re going to wear wedding tennis shoes, it should go without saying that they should be all white. Don’t wear your old dirty pair of running shoes that you’ve broken in and are so comfortable, but look ratty and have colorful stripes on the sides. Spring for a new pair of all white tennis shoes with no hint of color on them at all. If you already have an all white pair, then give them a good washing to see if they will work for your wedding tennis shoes.

Decorate Your Wedding Tennis Shoes

While you don’t really HAVE to decorate your wedding tennis shoes, it would sure look a whole lot more festive if you did. One great and simple idea of decorating your wedding tennis shoes is to replace the shoelaces with lengths of tulle. Another popular idea that some brides do to decorate their wedding tennis shoes are to have their flower girls decorate their shoes with glue and an assortment of pieces of lace and sequins.

Decide if Wedding Tennis Shoes are Right for You

You might be surprised to find that some people will flip out when you tell them that you want to wear wedding tennis shoes on your big day. Many will argue that you can see the tennis shoes under the dress, that it just looks too informal, etc. If you are in that situation, check out my other article on White Wedding Shoes. Only you can make up your mind about if you want to wear wedding tennis shoes or not. I say, if the dress is floor length, your shoes most likely will not be seen very much, only the tip of the shoe. Also, people are more focused on your dress then they are on your shoes, so chances are most of your guests won’t notice them.

Wedding tennis shoes are a comfortable alternative to many of the wedding shoes that are out there. I remember looking at all of the pictures of brides in the bridal magazines and thinking, they’re only sitting and taking pictures, they’re not spending the whole day on their feet in those shoes!! If you’re more comfortable in heels than tennis shoes, then go with the heels. Just consider what will help to make you the most comfortable on your wedding day.
