do you think i could get away with these under a floor length gown. I don't like the of buying uncomfortable shoes that i wear for only one day. So thought these maybe a idea

There isnt a picture or link attached?

I’m going for a hard no
unless you’re 75+ in which case you’d get away with it

ABitFab · 06/07/2026 12:34

why? Nope 👎
if going casual at least get something lovely 🥰

rosydreams · 06/07/2026 13:19

well i was hoping with a nice dress and it being floor length people wouldn't notice the shoes as long as they are similar colour to the dress .I maybe 38 but i had a issue since childhood with problems with my legs. I get stiffness and pain in the muscles in my legs so i was hoping to find something `a little less unbearable .Good footwear helps

Have a look at rainbow
ive tried their comfort collection for my DDs weddinv and they are super comfy without being hideous

Sorry but they're not very nice. What about these? Flat Sandals
Not cheap but you can wear again. I had their heels for my wedding

What about trainers? You can get some beautiful embroidered bridal trainers- I got a pair of embroidered converse from etsy, was comfy all day and they looked fabulous. There's also glitzier options if you want some sparkle...https://www.etsy.com/uk/market/bridal_trainers

If your dress is full length they will hardly be seen. 🤷‍♀️

YorkshireIndie · 06/07/2026 13:29

Wear what makes you feel comfortable. I ended up married in wellies because my shoes were left in the hotel and not taken to the church. Makes for an interesting story

jay55 · 06/07/2026 13:31

Wear what you want. My sister wore trainers as her feet were swollen from medical treatment.

Wear whatever you want, if full length nobody will see them anyway, plus your wedding your choice(perhaps paint your nails though). I wore doc martens

These are the least bad of the choice, but where are you finding these shoes OP? You're 38, these look like something out of an elderly peoples catalogue, they're almost orthopaedic.

Anything white, cream, gold or silver would be fine, there's loads of footbed and ankle strap sandals out there at the moment that would be reasonably comfortable, and look a bit less aged.

yeah this has always been a issue with shoes .I had physio till i was about 10 i can walk but a good pair of shoes help me .I have never really had a nice looking pair of shoes and although i gave up finding something both comfortable and pretty a while ago. I know being a bride means i am going to have to find something that at least looks presentable

Ok, so when you're saying a "good" pair of shoes, what are the must haves? What brands have you tried and liked or disliked?

That’s Ike telling her that her children are ugly!

bellventrico · 06/07/2026 14:20

Oh my goodness they are absolutely hideous - please don't wear them - there are myriad flat open toes sandled in pearl, silver and gold that would suit - Rainbow make all sorts of styles and heights - DD and I wore them for her wedding- I wore a medium high sling back and DD a low block heel - neither of us had comfort issues and danced all night

rosydreams · 06/07/2026 14:22

pretty much all i have ever worn is either sketchers, dr martins ,clarks or sports sandals my familiarity with shoes is awful .I am looking for something cream near flats but if its completely flat that causes issues. But i cant walk in heels due to my issues i am a clutz =p

This is why i ask for opinions on shoes as i dont have a clue when it comes to wedding shoes hahaha

These are better

ThejoyofNC · 06/07/2026 14:35

Can't you go for something champagne gold or silver? The colour of all these makes them even worse

sweetpickle2 · 06/07/2026 15:07

They're not my taste, but if you want to wear them then do- you're right that nobody will see them! A lot of brides wear trainers or Crocs for the same reason.

Suebae · 06/07/2026 18:54

Good choice in shoes.
