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.
