Heels are not essential
It's your wedding day, no-one's forcing you to wear heels! Do you like low shoes? Then opt for a wedding party without heels. You can choose sandals, flat ballerinas , trainers, ..... Do what you want and what feels good.
One size up, one size down?
Wedding shoe professionals such as Moments by Content or Gabrielli will be happy to advise you on the size, colour, material and shape of your shoes. Beautiful shoes that are actually one size too small? Buy a size up so you can add an insole if necessary.
Go for white and colour!
These days, specialist wedding shops offer shoes that you can have painted in a specific colour after your wedding. Have your white wedding shoes dyed in the trend colour of the year and you'll instantly have eye-catching shoes that you can wear for a long time. Practical!
A rougher edge
The soles of wedding shoes can be very slippery, especially men's shoes. To prevent them from becoming slippery, work the underside of the shoes with sandpaper. This will take the pressure off the soles and give you a firmer hold on your feet. You can also opt for non-slip insoles, which you attach to the bottom of the shoe in dry shoes.
