Shoes for this dress

14 replies

Vivfor60 · 19/07/2023 12:05

I have bought this dress for a wedding in late August. I can't decide what shoes to wear. I don't do heels. Any bright ideas, please?

I'd got for some flatform type sandals with some embellishment, maybe like these

Ballerina flats maybe? Although I think that that's the kind of dress that needs a heel for formal wear...

For a wedding and if all types of heel are out, I’d try something like this in one of the print colours. They have them in a pink that looks similar to the dress, although I’d personally prefer patent.

Thanks for the suggestions. Sadly the shoes linked to are both sold out in my size. The MandS pink ones would have been perfect!

Whatever you do, don’t buy anything like the model is wearing. Those block heels make them look like “clod hoppers.” Awful things.

They have a heel, but it’s a manageable one…

Flat point toe sling backs were everywhere this year so if you like that style, might be worth looking around. ASOS have a few styles, for example.

Ophy83 · 19/07/2023 19:44

A low heel e.g. https://esskashoes.com/products/georgie-metallics-bright

Or if you can't do any heel maybe some hot pink or red flats e.g. https://shop.mango.com/gb/women/shoes-flat-shoes/satin-shoe-with-strass-bracelet_47031027.html?c=88&talla=35&srsltid=AfAwrE4uGwE5Ohwc_UhOXRXQaoZ4SRCRnmc4yXHpmsLz4eRGa5828CZtg0Q&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=TnL5HPStwNw&utm_campaign=Linkshare_UK&ranMID=36057&ranEAID=TnL5HPStwNw&ranSiteID=TnL5HPStwNw-PKUn7.vgiLMNQT83JKuQEw

The last few weddings I've been to a lot of guests wore heels but brought pretty trainers to change into for dancing in the evening

Georgie Metallics Bright – Esska

With a nod to the 70's trend, shop style Charlie from Esska, the perfect gold mid heel T-bar sandals to go with all your outfits. We love it with flared trousers, dresses and shorts. The integrated front platform makes them even more comfortable.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I loved the heeled sandals, but my dodgy knee would not! The M&S shoes briefly came back into stock so I nabbed a pair. Thanks JMTWords, you are a star!

Glad my addiction to shoes can help others!
