I need help with shoes!

I really need your help!
I had an accident when I was a child and the following operations meant I have plates, pin and a large scar on my left ankle.

I wear ballet pumps every day. I cannot have high sided shoes or ankle straps. Because my ankle can give way frequently and the fact that I was young when I had my accident means that I cant wear high heels either.
I can however, manage a small kitten heel of under 1 inch if I wear them in enough. I have a nice black pair that I wear to ALL special occasions but they are nearing the end of their life...

I am a bridesmaid at my sisters wedding. She chose the dress in February and I have been looking since then for shoes. The wedding is now 12 weeks away and I am pushing it for wearing the shoes in.

Here is the dress. It says fuschia but its quite purpley.

I really really dont want to wear flats. I really want to feel nice and have a small kitten heel and to be wearing new shoes!!.
Ideally I would want something that goes with the dress but its long so doesnt matter too much.

Am I asking too much??? Help me please!!

are these too high?

also what size are you - there are lots of sales on at the moment but limited sizes in the sales.

Thank you for looking but yes, Im afraid they are too high. I can only manage up to an inch I think.
Also, I have 8 inches of scaring over my ankle so it makes it hard to wear strappy shoes as its painfull when they rub the scar.

She is also getting married in November so ideally I want more of a covered shoe in an ideal world.

Im a 5/5.5

Ah, ok, more of a court then? I did wonder if strappiness would be an issue.

There are some quite low wedge heeled shoes at Dune which may be more stable for you than kitten heels. The gold peep toe ones in the second row would go with the fuschia and also are neutral enough to wear with other things afterwards.

Kurt Geiger has some very low heels, these are an example. (though I imagine slingbacks may be uncomfy for you?) Here is the full search for low heels in your size.

Looks like Jones the Bootmaker has a lot of low heeled options. these would do really well I think. (Also available in black suede). See this page for all their low heel options.
