My shoes (you''ll laugh)

[robbie3982]

I love shoes to death, and am willing to withstand some discomfort in normal situations, but when I''m going to be on my feet for at least 10 hrs, I NEED to be comfortable. I wore uncomfortable shoes to a friend''s wedding that I was a bridesmaid in and not only did my feet hurt for days afterwards, but so did my back. I don''t want to have to deal with that on the honeymoon.

So, after lots and lots and lots of searching, I got frustrated and started trying on little girl easter shoes. I wear a size 8 in women''s, but some how this translates into a size 5 in girls''. They are so much more comfortable! I ended up buying these from kohl''s.

(yes, they''re velcro

). I figure, if I find something else that I like better, I can always return these, but for $20, they''re good enough. If someone catches a glimpse of them (because that''s all that they''ll see w/ my giant ballgown) they''ll see white shoes with rhinestones.​

I think they''re lovely!

Oh no! That''s "flower girl" thing is rubbing off on YOUR wedding!

J/K ... I think they look cute & comfie ... great find! Really helps to look outside the box I guess!

Thanks Achor!

Lol, Deco, I was thinking the same thing.

your back and feet will love you for it. since I believe one should have a great time at her wedding, happy feet are a big plus in making that happen. I can''t tell you how carefree I felt wearing flip flops!

Now how in the heck does that work?!

I would love to know!

Like the sparklies.

Travelingal, I was tempted to go with flip flops, but I tend to lose shoes off my feet if there aren''t straps, and my skirt is freakin big that I don''t know if I''d be able to get to my foot to put it back on lol.

Firegoddes, I have no idea how it works, but I figured it out a few years ago when I saw these cute nike sporty sandals. I didn''t really look at the size, but I tried them on and they fit. I was pretty surprised when I saw they were a kids'' 5.

you know it makes sense cause my daughter is a size 4 in girl''s shoes and I bought her some grown up shoes and she was so proud to wear a 7 and I''m like child, you''re 12 - this is as big as you want them to get LOL!!!

BTW they''re cute! I swear they''d be perfect with the flower girl dress too LOL

 

[oshinbreez]

They look so comfortable. Are you going to wear them with your flower girl dress?

 

[TravelingGal]

LOL Robbie, I would think that it would be very hard to wear flip flops with your dress, as it could be swallowed up in it and not easily found. You made a good choice.

 

[kcoursolle]

I think they are kind of cute! Anyways, it really doesn''t matter much because you can barely ever see a bride''s shoes under her long puffy gown.

 

[robbie3982]

Thanks everyone!

Oshinbreeze, I have to wear silver shoes with my flower girl dress and I already have silver shoes, so I''ll be wearing those unless I find something cheap and comfortable before I take the dress for alterations.

 

[RoseAngel04]

lol...oh robbie! only you could pull that off!

 

[zoebartlett]

Very cute! Really, the rhinestones (sp?) make the shoes! They look sparkly and I''m sure they''ll look great.

 

[upgrading mama]

are these for your wedding or your fower girl dress??

either way, as long as they are comfortable, that is what''s most important!

 

[robbie3982]

hehe they''re for my wedding

 

[snuga]

This thread is right down my alley. I spent MONTHS trying to find comfortable shoes.. I finally found some, but they are not the cutest shoes I have ever bought.. but I figured I need to stand in these shoes for hours and dance in these shoes, so I am going to wear something comfy.. and I think your shoes are great! You have to wear them, and you don''t want to have blisters and be miserable on your wedding day because your shoes are uncomfortable!

 

[broadway]

Those are perfect and you will be soooooo happy at the end of the night! I LOVE the rhinestones!

 

[sluke]

Smart bride! They don''t look like "flower girl" shoes. Besides, most of the time when the bridal gown is long, no one sees the shows!

 

[ponderer]

Robbie,

Comfortable shoes are a great idea. I ditched my heals last minute and walked down the aisle my dingy, scuffed up, o so comfy Nikes

. Best decision I ever made. My feet were the only thing that did not hurt the next day. I just wish i had decided earlier than 15 minutes before the wedding. My dress was an inch or so too long.

No one knew they were there, unless I showed them

.

When I read this, I thought, "wow, a whole world of shoes I''ve not explored since I was a kid! Yay!" My next trip to Target, I was trying on those cute little Easter shoes. Amazing!

Who''d have known in a kid-sized shoe I''m a 4 1/2? Haha.

Paul laughed at me, but I wanted to be sure it worked. It does!

Had I known that back in the day when I *thought* I had to move up to adult sizes, I could have kept wearing those tennis shoes with Rainbow Bright on them. Those were HARD to give up!

 

[wifey2b]

robbie - those shoes are adorable and so perfect for a wedding - so don''t worry about anyone - cuz they will say the same thing - they got bling and are white for under your white dress - and after all - comfort IS everything :}

 

[robbie3982]

Fisher, that''s too funny!

Thanks, wifey!
