How To Pick The Perfect Bridal Shoes

Spending some time to pick out the perfect shoes for your wedding is just as important as the time spent on picking out your wedding dresses. After all, you will be on your feet for a good number of hours during your wedding day, from the ceremony to the photo-taking to the reception itself where you will be expected to meet, greet and mingle with your guests. You will want something that befits the occasion and is still beautiful and elegant.

Today, we have a write-up on tips that will help you pick out the perfect wedding shoes.

Tried-and-Tested Bridal Shoe Advice

Look out for strong and sexy super high heels with sturdy, thick heel (not stilletos) that will help you stay on your feet comfortably. Major trends today include details such as T-bards, criss-cross or ankle-straps. Other fall trends for weddingd apart from the traditional white and ivory colors, include black, grey and purple.

The key things to look out for when shoe-shopping is the width of the shoe, and the heel. With proper insoles you may be able to wear shoes that are a little too long, but you will not be able to walk properly if the shoes you pick are too wide or narrow. For better balance, the heel of the shoe should be positioned nearer to the centre of your heel, rather than at its edge.

The biggest mistake brides make when picking out their wedding shoes is to grab the most gorgeous looking pair of shoes even though it may be ill-fitting for their feet in the hopes that the pair of shoes will miraculously mould itself to their size and feet. That does not happen!

Also keep in mind that higher prices and designer labels are not an automatic indicator of comfort. The cut of the shoe and the shape of the feet is what will determine if the wedding shoe you pick is comfortable or not.

Shoe sizes can vary up to two sizes among brands, so try different pairs on, or check the size charts provided at shoe websites when shopping online.
