When you’re picking out shoes to wear with your wedding dress, what is your number one priority?

It has to match your dress, or at least complement the style, right? Yes!

But that’s not all. Many brides are looking for wedding shoes that are comfortable, stylish, and one-of-a-kind.

What if you could have all of the above? It sounds impossible to choose bridal shoes that are as comfortable as they are stylish, but we just stumbled upon the ultimate collection of bridal shoes that are comfy so you can dance your you-know-what off all night long (without making crucial wedding shoe mistakes like these, ouch!)

What you need to know is that there are several things you can do to make sure your shoes are comfortable on your wedding day.

How Can I Make My Wedding Shoes More Comfortable?

Our top three suggestions are:

1. Buy wedding shoes that are comfortable.

This one is obvious, but so many brides pick look over comfort and, while I totally get it, wearing shoes for that many hours can seriously hurt your feet! If you can’t seem to get a particular pair of shoes off of your mind, and they won’t be as comfortable as you’d like, you can always wear them during the wedding ceremony and then change into these for the reception.

2. Put these comfortable inserts inside your shoes.

I swear by these. They are great for targeting specific areas of your feet that normally experience heel pain, especially when you’re wearing them for many hours and it is a new pair of shoes.

You can get them + see reviews here.

3. Make sure you break-in your shoes a little bit before the wedding day.

Should you break in your wedding shoes? YES!

Since you probably don’t want to wear them around the house or you might not have time to stretch out or break in wedding shoes to make them comfortable, try a shoe stretcher instead. This one works great; it is the one I use myself! It gives shoes a little bit more “give” especially when they’re brand new. Get them here.

What is nice about a shoe stretcher is that you will use it for your wedding shoes, and you’ll find it beneficial to have in your closet for other times when shoes need a little stretch. They are great for women’s or men’s shoes, and I’ve stretched some of Andrew’s new dress shoes with them (with great results). Not a bad buy for under $20!

Do you need to wear flat shoes to be comfortable?

No! Although some of the bridal shoes on this list are flats, you’re not limited to choosing flat shoes alone. If a flat isn’t your style, a great option is a block heel. A block heel has a nice height but offers more stability and security while wearing them all day.

Plus, block heels are comfortable wedding shoes that also boast one of the top trends of the moment.

Win-win, as we say!

Are expensive shoes more comfortable?

Good question! No, unfortunately, it isn’t how much you spend that equates to how comfortable a pair of wedding shoes — or any shoes, for that matter — will really be. It is true that if you pay a little more, though, you’re usually getting quality materials, which makes a huge difference in the overall comfort level of a shoe.

For instance, a cheap pair of flats probably won’t feel that great all day. But a little more money might offer you a better footbed, insole, and offer more padding than a cheap flat.

But spending $500 on a pair of shoes just because they’re expensive doesn’t necessarily equate to the best or most comfortable wedding shoes you can buy. We recommend spending anywhere from $75 and up to ensure your shoes are made of quality, premium materials. But it’s not the price that counts.

One of the major pitfuls that brides face? They forget about the BEST way to know for sure if a pair is right for you: read reviews! Reviews on shoes, especially when buying online, can be extremely helpful in determining which pair of wedding shoes will be the most comfortable and offer a great fit all day long.

Now that you know how to make the best of a usually uncomfortable shoe situation, let’s take a peek at some stylish and super comfortable wedding shoes you can wear. We’re sharing our top picks for bridal block heels, flats, sandals, and more from Pinky Promise Accessories.
