What shoes- not heels!

I've ordered this wedding dress. Looks lovely on, am a short curvy size 16 forty-something year old. For an informal (second!) June wedding.

I was going to wear little gold cowboy boots with it, but they just don't look quite right.

I'm not really a tettering heels kind of person, and my normal go to is trainers or boots...

Ideally I also need to wear tights, as I am paler than milk at the moment!

I am really lost as to what other shoes I could pair it with! Any suggestions?

With the dress something like this would be better than flats

Wore these ones with a very similar style wedding dress. I also can't cope with heels and am a curvy size 16. Managed to wear them all day without killing my feet.

These would look absolutely amazing! They won't be hard to walk in, Ruby Shoos are very comfortable.

Wedding clogs!
wear them in with socks beforehand and they’ll be super comfy, they are the only heel I can wear these days…

Lovinglife57 · 11/05/2024 21:55

Needs something delicate not clumpy and definitely not white some of the shoes ppl are showing please 😂🤦‍♀️

Are you all the brides, @Lovinglife57? Hmm

You do realise other people might make different choices to yours? (And might view your choices with horror. Grin)

I’m so good with fashion and the shoes you chose are way to harsh they are ugly IMO and not the right colour they may look good with something else but not this pretty dress sorry

ScratchedSkirtings · 11/05/2024 22:14

Ah yes, loving life but not other people’s taste…

KomproMatilda · 11/05/2024 22:15

I think the crucial letters might be IMO

Yep and that is my opinion sweetie

What was wrong with the little cowboy boots, I could see that working? Was the gold the wrong sort of gold, what about a cream or pale beige suede?

I would imagine it would be quite funky

They have the wrong illusion if you know what I mean, and made my legs look a bit dumpy! It's a shame as I was excited about wearing them!

That's for all your suggestions: they've inspired some thought!

I've ordered two pairs to try with the dress. I should have said the dress kind of has a pinky pearl hue to it. So white doesn't quite work- so I've ordered a couple which are slightly more pink to try;

these

And...

these

I'll keep you updated!!

I'd have a look at Esska or Unisa, they do nice block heel/platform wedding style shoes.
