How to keep shoes in great condition?

comfortable wedding shoes?

  • Wedding Shoes that Won't Kill My Feet. I am getting married in November. I have a medical condition that makes my left foot swell to about three times its normal size. I've seen a doctor and wear special stockings and keep my foot elevated when I can, but that only does so much as most of the blood vessels in my leg are failing... It gets worse the longer I stand on it and I imagine I'll be standing a lot. Generally, heels tend to hurt my feet if I can even manage to fit my foot in them. Usually, when I go to weddings I just wear heels and suck it up. I refuse to be in pain on my wedding day. I've had good luck with Aerosoles in the past, so I ordered silver shoes from there, but they don't seem so comfortable. Comfort is my biggest issue, but obviously I'd prefer not to wear something that is obviously orthopedic. My dress is an off-white cream color if that's a key piece of information. Any advice would be welcome!

  • Answer:

    How long is your dress? And do you feel better when you're barefoot? My floor-length dress hid the fact that I shed my uncomfortable shoes and partied the afternoon away in my stocking feet.

I'd get satin shoes for the wedding; they're affordable, can be dyed, look dressy. Shop now for some snazzy flip-flops to wear for the reception. I have arthritis, and finding shoes is always a big chore. If you know anybody with similar-sized feet who will break the Aerosoles in for you, that might work.

You could go all out and have everyone wear http://davidmalki.com/wedpics.html I think it looks awesome in these pictures, and since the dresses are long enough, it doesn't matter in many of the pictures.

capezio used to have some beautiful slipper-y heels with leather soles in metallic silver and copper, very flexible and soft. I got them at the store and they don't seem to have them on the website. Another friend wore them for her wedding as they were completely comfortable. maybe try a dance shoe store?

as ghastly as crocs can be, these http://shop.crocs.com/pc-825-4-malindi.aspx?reqid=825&reqProdTypeId=41p&subsectionname=footwear&section=products flats might get you through the party with happy feet.

If you can find them, http://www.repetto.com/fiche_produit.php?PRODUCT_ID=258makes the most amazing ballet flats. I stumbled upon a pair in San Francisco when my shoes were killing me and I was desperate for something comfortable - they must have been sent for heaven! The price is...uh...less than heavenly but IMHO worth it.

My friend wore a beautiful pair of sandals that look like a jeweled mosaic. I've put a picture http://picasaweb.google.com/saffry/Sandals/photo#5236395813758096738 If you like it, I can find out if she bought it or if someone made it for her.

My friend wore a pair of birkenstocks for her wedding. Her dress was long enough that you only saw them when she was cutting up the dance floor -- she made fun of it and everyone laughed along with her. They are good for your feet AND comfortable :)

I don't usually push Crocs but if your feet are hidden, perhaps this is a situation where they would work well. The http://shop.crocs.com/pc-33-4-prima.aspx?reqid=33&reqProdTypeId=41p&subsectionname=footwear&section=products ballet flat comes in pearl (white) as well as gold.
