Are you looking for wedding shoes that aren’t heels? Wouldn’t be caught walking down the aisle in a pair of stilettos, chunky block heels, or even sparkly sandals? Do you prefer comfortable, modern, and stylish slip on sneakers for weddings? You’ve come to the right place, you casual-lovin’ bride. The current trend of unconventional wedding shoes is wildly popular and we’re here for it! So, whether you call ’em tennis shoes, kicks, running shoes, or trainers, we’ve got you covered.

Wedding sneakers are a solution for brides who want fashion and functionality, comfort and casual style. Wedding slip ons, as well as white wedding sneakers and bridal trainers, are more popular than ever before as brides customize their look from head to toe!

We did all the digging for you to find comfortable, stylish slip ons from Converse, slip on sneakers from Birdies that are practically slippers and even custom wedding sneakers on Etsy. These look super comfy, yet stylish; they’re modern, versatile, and you’ll be wearing them down the aisle and while boarding your airplane or cruise ship as you depart on a happily every after honeymoon. :)
Read on to see the latest-and-greatest comfortable footwear for brides to wear down the aisle including brand new styles from popular designers and new artisans.

The Comfort Factor: Why Every Bride Needs a Pair of Wedding Sneakers
Whether you plan to wear them down the actual aisle, or you want wedding-inspired style from engagement party to the rehearsal dinner, bridal trainers have got you covered. You’ll look like The Bride as you plan your upcoming wedding and attend dress fittings, the bridal shower, your bachelorette bash – you name it! And as you dance the night away in your sneakers, you’ll be happy you chose comfort over a heel that isn’t really your style.
You’ll be on your feet during the wedding day from sun up to sun down, getting hair and makeup done and dancing the night away. Traditional wedding shoes can break your mood, energy, and hurt your feet. Ouch! No one needs foot pain or blisters on the big day. When you select these footwear options with cushioned support, breathable materials, and comfy soles, you’ll be up and around chatting with guests and dancing – rather than sitting out with sore feet.
Style Meets Function: How to Incorporate Wedding Sneakers into Your Bridal Look
There is a myth that the bride cannot wear wedding sneakers, as they are not formal enough. That’s not true! The bride can wear any style of footwear she wants, and most of the time, the bridal gown is so long that no one even sees your shoes to begin with. You may as well be comfortable, whether you’re in a ball gown or a more bohemian style dress. Wedding sneakers and bridal trainers are versatile enough to change into and wear for the reception alone, too, if that’s more your style.
Unique Designs and Customization Options for Wedding Sneakers
Wedding sneakers have come a long way! Today’s sneaker for the bride has lace, pearls, and glitter; moreover, we’re seeing custom designs by artists on Etsy that can incorporate your initials, your wedding date, and other specialty designs and colors into a custom pair of wedding sneakers that become a keepsake or something blue for the bride.
As you’ve seen here, there are many benefits of wearing wedding sneakers on the big day, from keeping your feet comfortable to emphasizing your individual style. It’s OK to show off your personality and highly encouraged to do so! Wear a pair of bridal trainers that resonate with you, show off your wedding theme, colors, or your own unique style. It’s your day – wear shoes that you love!
