I want to enjoy my day, not be in pain. I can't wear heels, even though I am 5'2. Plus, if you have a long dress, no one will see!

PM - A few words of caution...

If you and the gals are all wearing flip flops, it will sound horrible as you all walk down the aisle. Maybe for later at the reception, but they can suck it up for a few minutes at the ceremony (IMO).

Also, you ALWAYS see the shoes even with a long dress. A properly hemmed dress will barely skim the floor and have enough room to let your foot escape out the front as you walk. All the pics of my walking down the aisle or dancing, you can absolutely see my shoes.

Just something to think about...

that totally hadnt crossed my mind. makes complete sense though.

Wow.

In most of the weddings I've been in, the bride just wore the uncomfortable shoes to the ceremony/pictures and changed into flats/flip flops/whatever for the reception.

Yeah, those shoes are ugly. I would go with flip-flops or ballet flats. But it's your wedding, so do what you want.

Well apparently I am not the only one who is thinking that. I think those shoes would look much cuter without the sequins. Those are just wierd.
I am the type that would rather suck it up and wear heels.

I had a pair of heels for my wedding, and they were comfortable for the first few hours, but I ended up kicking them off at some point and was just in my stocking-feet toward the end (but I prefer to be barefoot anyway).

I would recommend that no matter what shoes you choose- break them in first. I went to one wedding in Nashville, TN where the bride wore custom white cowboy (cowgirl?) boots, however she forgot to break them in and ended up with very sore feet.

Finally, yes, it's your $50 and your wedding so do whatever you want. But I reserve the right to have an opinion on the shoes. But hey, at least they are better looking than those Rainbows from the "rainbow shoes" thread.

Well, here are my wedding shoes. They weren't the most comfortable shoes but they did look good. Of course, this was almost 2 years ago.

[AlexMack]

Wow. I'm all about being comfortable but those are just...wow. I'll be nice and say they're different so I don't get tagged as a bully or a monster.

At a wedding of some friends a few years ago, the bride wore white platform sneakers under her shoes. Personally, I thought they were hideous and tacky, but that's what she wanted and she loved them.

I wore red, low-heeled sandals and switched into red sequined flip flops at the reception. I told the bridesmaids I didn't care what kind of shoe they wore as long as they were black and they were comfortable in them. I gave them each a pair of flip flops to change into at the reception if they wanted.

I'm sure some people where aghast that I wore red shoes but that's what I wanted and I didn't really give two whits what other people thought. If you like them and think they're cute, that's all that matters. No matter what, people are going to have an opinion on them, and they may or may not say it to your face. There's no point in getting all up in arms about it, especially on an internet message board where you're never going to meet 99.99999% of the people with whom you interact.

My friend wore a pair of white Doc Martens under her dress. Awesome idea! I just had a pair of ballet flats. Could not find the white doc martens in a size 10. Besides, my mom woulda had a cow

My Irregular Choice shoes are some of the most damn uncomfortable shoes I have ever had. But they are so cute.

[Glitter650]

They kinda remind me of foot-bound chinese slippers.

[kddani]

I guess if you like them that's what really matters, but doesn't post a pic of something that you have to know other people would dislike and then get all offended when people make an adverse comment on it. You're not a newbie

For the record, I think that they're tacky. Add some puffy paint and we're back in elementary school. Ballet flats would be just as comfortable and much more classy.

Also, wearing tennis shoes, you're going to walk like you're in tennis shoes, instead of holding yourself better like you probably would in dress shoes.

I know! And mine fall apart SO easily, too... they really are cute, though .
