What shoes with this dress?

17 replies

Lemur2007 · 18/10/2022 12:43

I have a wedding coming up in a few weeks, and I have this dress to wear (hoping picture attaches) It’s a dark navy blue & I need help finding shoes to go with it. As much as I like the ones they’ve styled with it there is no way I could wear them!

I’m so out of practice with wearing heels & I have the beginnings of a bunion on one foot so can’t wear anything too tight or pointy. Colour wise I was thinking maybe silver.

Any suggestions?

What were you thinking? Platform with chunky heel for comfort? Esska is a good choice. Or were you thinking flats?

a 2nd vote for Esska, I had the Fink Champagne for my wedding shoes. They're so comfy and ethically made - not cheap but totally worth it.

How about nude Kate Middleton heels? You can wear them again with other outfits.

I'd opt for gold or pink with navy blue. How about something like these?

or some of these look comfy:

Ooh, how nice to have an opportunity to dress up. Enjoy!

Anthropologie has a sale on some Esska styles just now...

Thanks for the links.

Esska are probably a bit more than I want to spend, but will see if there’s anything on sale. The Paradox London ones from JL look good, think I’ll order a couple of pairs to try!

Font mean to detail but how comfy are the Esska and also I have wide feet - are they worth the £?

BeaLola · 18/10/2022 21:52

Do not mean to derail even (!)

I love that dress. Absolutely gorgeous 😍

Would these be too high? www.jimmychoo.com/en/women/shoes/romy-100/ballet-pink-suede-pointy-toe-pumps-ROMY100SUE110323.html

Thank you, I bought it last year (for an event that got cancelled) & I can’t wait to actually wear it!

Gorgeous, but sadly too high & out of my price range!

I just got some pretend Esska sandals from Monsoon for 50ish quid. I'd love the proper ones but these will do and they are v comfortable.

I'd probably wear navy shoes. Simple low heeled courts/ballerinas. Have a look at Gabor.
