I'm going to a wedding in a couple of months time, and will be wearing a green Nancy Mac dress: https://byrotation.com/products/nancy-mac-green-dresses-cl8brvlcf00784vskcrnad4h2?srsltid=AfmBOopBIVcK3BbmyMkS2l0DH_Ith25IQwRMsCS9Mqsu2yVT3yJKnOs7
I got it from Vinted, so now I need to think about what shoes to wear with it. I have no idea what colour I should be going for, or what style really. I can't wear very high heels any more due to a back problem, but mid-heel is ok for a day. If I can buy shoes from John Lewis, so much the better (I have a gift card waiting to be used!) but I wasn't inspired by a browse on their website.

Any ideas?

I'd go for a wedge sandal, something like these maybe

It's a lovely dress! are you planning to wear a jacket with it? I think i'd stick to nude / cream colours with it. The Paradox range at John Lewis has quite a few neutral options with block heels. Paradox London Women's Shoes | John Lewis & Partners

I'm not sure about wedge sandals - they all seem to be quite chunky which feels a bit casual and more holiday vibe than wedding. I do like the Castañer ones but I don't have good legs so am not sure I could carry the ribbons off!

No jacket planned, it would be very hard to get something which complimented the dress in a colour that works for me. Nude colours make me look like death warmed up! I wondered about maybe silver sandals, but everything I've looked at so far feels a bit "sensible shoes".

These are quite similar if you like the Castaner ones, but without the ribbon :)
