Shoes for a wedding - may have to wear trainers at this rate

I have namechanged for this because it is so identifying, but I am a regular and people have helped me on here in the past.

I have a wedding to go to in a few weeks. Lovely friend, who has decided on a black tie dress code. Problem is, I am breastfeeding and also chasing after a toddler, and most black tie dresses do not allow both those things! Also, it's in a church and I don't want to feel too much like I'm dressed for a ball. So the compromise I've found is this. Please don't be horrible about it - it was a bugger to find anything at all that suited my 'stone overweight, easy access to boobs' criteria.

So, now I need shoes. I have plan black courts, but they look so dull. Any other ideas? Needs to fit a size 8 shoe (and feet which seem to have spread further since children) and have a mid to low heel. I am tall and therefore useless and unpracticed with heels. I will have to wear these shoes for at least 12 hours, dashing from location to location, so they have to be pretty comfortable. I was thinking maybe nude courts, but just seen the savaging they got on another thread and all the ones I've found (except some pricey LK Bennett ones) have a very high heel.

Help!

Miss L Fire have some cute, mid/low heel shoes. They go up to a size 8 too. Not sure where you can buy them on the high street but Amazon do some of their styles and have quite a good returns policy if they don't fit.

These ones are pretty and suede gives quite a lot so perfect for wide feet

Sorry, didn't realise anyone had replied. I quite like some of those, but unfortunately I don't think I can go suede. I have to trek around locations a bit and, in December, I think it's too risky they'll be wrecked. Thanks though.
