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

They kinda remind me of foot-bound chinese slippers.

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.

1. I'm already an inch taller than my fiance. I cannot wear heels.
2. I've been engaged since Decemer of 2005. I've been casually looking for shoes since then. When I started looking seriously, I still couldnt find any that I liked enough to pay that kind of money for $100 for strappy sandals? I dont think so.
3. I have monster size feet, okay? I need something comfortable, rather than making my feet look like stuffed sausage.
The only reason I posted the thread was in the instance that someone else, might be interested in the same kinds of styles, and I wanted to give the link.
There is absolutely no reason to be catty, ugly, and rude. It IS all about me, and what I'm comfortable with. So you guys have differing opinions. Okay, you've said your piece. Fine, whatever. I'm still trying to figure out why it was necessary to personally attack me, because I have different tastes than the rest of you. Okay, so you dont like them, you wouldnt wear them, big effen deal. Again, is that a reason to attack me? Because omfg my fashion style is different than the rest of you?  Please....

Are you really that upset by the fact that we just don't like your wedding shoes? You must lead a really simple life.

Where, exactly, were you personally attacked?

Perhaps, but we can still think the shoes are fugly. I can think my wedding day is all about me but if I wear hot pink chucks with skull and crossbones, people can still go "wth was she thinking?" if they want. Besides, if you like them, why does it matter if we don't? You don't need to justify your choices to us.

1. You can wear heels. There is nothing stopping you. You choose not too.
2. Other, classier options have been given. You searched high and low and this is the best thing you could find? Someone's hot glue gun and bedazzled disaster using $7 worth of Walmart materials?
3. If you buy shoes that fit you they won't look like stuff sausages. Other options, such as ballet flats, have been given. So what if you have big feet? There are tons of shopping options on the internet.
You posted something suggesting other brides wear these, too. No one has personally attacked you. We disagreed with you and voiced an opinion that the shoes were hideous and that you got ripped off. You posted something- if you didn't want opinions on it, then you shouldn't have posted.

Ok, so you paid $50 for a pair of Keds, which you'll never wear again.
Good choice.

My friends wedding I was in, we all wore black heels, but two of us switched to flip flops for the reception.
A sisters wedding I went to, she actually had her bridesmaids go barefoot for the ceremony (which I actually felt bad for them because it was outdoors, in March (which it can still be chilly in March in AZ) and they were walking on concrete, which keeps in the cold or the heat). She wore flip flops (the rocket dog type). The only reason I knew she had flip flops on was her dress was to long and she actually had to lift it to walk down the aisle (I'm suprised she didn't get it hemmed).
When I get married, I've debated flip flops, I've seen the ones I like in a bridal magazine.

I figure it's my day and I might as well be comfortable. I love wearing heels but they KILL my feet within 30 minutes to an hour.

I love these Vera Wang shoes, but there is NO WAY I can justify $395 for a pair of shoes.
