Key Features to Look for in Comfortable Wedding Shoes
When you go shoe shopping for your wedding day make sure you know all the features to look for when it comes to a comfortable day. Check out the arch support. Know before you go if you have a high, low, flat or neutral arch. That will make all the difference when shoe shopping. Look for breathable materials like leather and satin. Try to pick shoes with adjustable straps so you can ensure a secure fit. Constantly worrying about your heels slipping off the ankle will ruin your day. As always, a cushioned insole with extra padding will give you the most comfortable fit. And finally think about your toes! Do you want them to show? If not then will you feel better in a pointed toe or round toe style?
Tips for Choosing the Best Wedding Shoes
When you shop if at all possible try your shoes on with your dress! You’ll need to have your shoes for alterations anyways. Think if you want your ivory or white dress to match the dress shade exactly or if you are okay with it being slightly off. Remember your wedding venue. Will you be outdoors or indoors and will you need to worry about water-resistant materials or the sand and surf if you are at the beach? And of course, test your shoes before your wedding day. Walk in them on your driveway to scuff the soles a bit so you don’t slip. Don’t let the walk down the aisle be the first time you have walked in your shoes! Have a back up pair ready. Buy some comfortable wedding flats to dance in, bring your sneakers or even slippers!
