Shoe people, assemble!

So I found a pair of shoes I really super like and would like to have in some capacity for my wedding. These ones. But their price tag is rather steep, so I think I'll DIY.

But I need a base shoe! I found a few, but I'm bad at shoe shopping and get bored really easily (I've worn the same pair of Adidas tennis shoes every day for 6-7 years). The color above would be my first choice, I think, followed very closely by this color, and this color. I'm looking for something with no more than a 2.5" heel (so I don't tower over FI. We're pretty close in height), and preferably open toe (I hope that's not too many qualifiers...).

So help a sistah out, eh? :P

I'm diggin' the one from DSW, but I have a conundrum. There's apparently only 1 left in my size and blue, and I wanted to at least swing by Ross tomorrow! Perhaps I'll just buy it now. They have a good return policy, from what I can see. Man, I wasn't planning on this so soon! :P You're too good.

Yes, definitely buy the DSW ones if you haven't already.

Good work, Buggle.

Buggle is on fire with the shoe shopping!

I would also say buy them and return them if you don't like 'em. I did that quite a bit with wedding shoes.

I don't like these as well as the DSW pair, but ShoeBuy also has a fantastic return policy (free shipping both ways).

Shoes.com and Zappos also have a great return policy.

By the way, Zip, the original pair look like ballroom dance shoes. I was actually going to originally get ballroom shoes because I thought they'd be comfy. They do tend to be kind of expensive, though. If you search for ballroom shoes, you'll find ones that look just like those, just not blue for the most part.
