Bridal Sneakers
October 2, 2009What blushing bride DOESN’T want to wear platform orthopedic shoes on her big day? Comfort is always a bride’s number one priority, wouldn’t you say?
Head on over to TheLovelyBride.com, most styles are about $160.00. Seriously, there are many, many choices.
Thanks to Jessica for the submission!!
Seriously?! Ew! If I spent several thousands $ on a gorgeous dress no way I’d wear orthopedic waitress/nurse shoes with it. For dancing after? Go barefoot.
My son and his bride both wore blue converse high-tops, but that was their joke and style. They plan on wearing them on each anniversary. These shoes are just plain fugly and I wear comfortable shoes to work each day. There in nothing redeaming about these…nothing.
it looks like orthopedic shoes
Oh good. At least a decent alternative for those brides you see often. Inelegant, first time heel wearers. Walking on heels as if they were wearing Doc Martins. Usually having incredibly sore feet afterward.
Brides like that are better off with these sneakers.
But also the more off beat, not main stream bride. The one with a sense of self that is beyond the expected princess look. I think it is great fun to see these, and a great idea.
Wow. Ugly and expensive. Just what every bride needs.
Wow. Ugly and expensive.
No thanks
you may find it shocking, but this kind of bridal sneakers are very popular here in Mexico! they’re confortable, keep the same high as the high heels and are an excellent option to give your feet some rest after a few hours in the party! The brides usually weare the pretty shoes for the ceremony and then change to the sneakers for the party!
To be honest, while it’s odd for most everyone to grasp, I don’t think they’re such a bad idea. Especially for long receptions. Like my little sister who got married, I was her maid of honor. The moment we headed for the reception, she slipped on a pair of white satin ballarina slippers and I changed out my high heels to yes, a pair of flip flops. No one’s looking at your feet at the reception!
I wore tennis sneakers to my wedding. I was born with a birth defect and my right leg is shorter than my left. However, I used tennies and had the right shoe sole built up and decorated my sneakers with ribbons and sequins and appliques. These shoes look they belong in a retirement home wedding!!!!
I think it’s a great idea if comfort is a big priority for you and heels make you uncomfortable but you don’t want to sacrifice height. Just wear a long dress.
Ermmmm. They actully make me sick
I like the idea of comfortable shoes but i bought ballet flats for my wedding u couldn’t see them under my dress and they were comfortable. i agree these are plain ugly
They are ugly but honestly I would consider it because I have such high arches I can only wear heels for like 5 minutes before my feet are dying. I was planning on wearing something similar but hoping to find something not as ugly but would rather have ugly shoes then limp after the ceremony. A limping bride is worst then a bride having ugly shoes that honestly won’t be seen
I think these are a good idea! Most brides want a bit of height on their wedding day, and for those of use who CAN’T wear heels, why NOT buy these? Orthopedic shoes cost WAY more ($400 + here in Ontario), and I actually kind of like the blue ones.
Still not sure what I’d wear for my own wedding (as it’ll be off beat with a Celtic/Medieval theme at *crossing fingers* a real feast hall built to look like a medieval feast hall). But these will be in the back of my mind….though I might just go with jazz slippers.
A lot of people have legit foot problems like my sister and have to wear high tennis shoes like this all the time. I think it’s great that there’s a company that at least tries to make the shoes look more attractive and appropriate for special occasions. And regarding the price, all shoes like that are expensive.
Gross. No way ever!
I actually don’t think these are a bad idea. If you’re wearing a floor length dress where you can’t even seen your shoes, and you’re not a heel person and want comfort on the day then they’d be perfect.
Though I have seen much much much nicer and cheaper trainers, I’ve seen a few pretty shoes by Addidas which would look nicer.
Also ballet pumps are comfy too, so that kinda throws the who trainer thing outta the window lol!
