DD prom footwear help needed

Sorry I'm not sure this is the best place to post but I couldn't find a topic on attire dilemmas & issues.

DD has prom coming up. Needs shoes to fit the following brief:

  1. Silver shade (but not a 'tacky silver')
  2. Platform with heel (as DD short hence heel but doesn't want really sore feet hence platform)
  3. Ideally block heel, or wedge heel
  4. Ideally closed toe or toe coverage (as DD self-conscious about toes due to past surgeries)
  5. Would suit a wider foot
  6. Don't look middle aged

We have the dress but getting nowhere on shoes so can't get dress tailored to her height yet. DD is getting v stressed over this & it might not take much to tip her over the edge on top of exam stress.

I'm loosing hours looking at the same places finding nothing new.

Can anyone save us from frumpy shoes / meltdown (hers & mine) / loss of my evenings searching online?

If you can you're a better shopper than me!

Plus I will love you forever!!!

Budget flexible, would prefer a modest cost as unlikely to be worn again but I am willing to spend a healthy amount to get this right for her.

Thank you so much.

you can also pick a wedding shoe they come in white but there is a service to colour to match bridesmade dresses - tend to be comfy shoes

My daughter wore these (from Amazon). They were very comfortable and a better fit than any in any of the one million shops that went to in person!

Does nobody ever read back through threads? Not even a couple of posts above.

The Esska shoes have been posted numerous times…

Please let us know what she eventually chooses. I bet all our suggestions will be wildly off and she picks something completely different.
