Reviews on Solemates Heel Caps?

labro

Has anyone used these things? I'm wearing heels with my dress but my ceremony and walk down the aisle will be outside and in a grassy garden area. I don't want to wear flats, I hate wearing flats. I've already bought a great pair of heels that are comfy and will be great for dancing in all night long but I don't want to struggle with not sinking into the grass while I'm standing with my FI during the ceremony. So any reviews? Has anyone tried them out before? I figure any solution is better than no solution at all, but if it comes down to it I'll just balance on my toes and balls of my feet during the ceremony.

I used them.  they aren't going to stop you from sinking if the grass is super wet, but they do help with stability.

@QueerFemme Thanks! That's a good point. We have the option to have the ceremony indoors depending on weather conditions and if the ground is saturated it may be best to have it indoors anyway. I think that will be a week of decision though. I'm just hoping for a more normal October for Georgia. Last year was our third wettest year on record (and it rained for almost the entire month in October) and so far this year has been dry/normal so I'm hoping for the best.

I got married in September in the bay area, which is normally the dryest time ever. It doesn't rain much here anyway, but especially not between June and October. Well,it rained for 2 days straight before my wedding, and I still didn't sink. But it was only 2 days of saturation, not 2 months off an on. If you can, do a test in a different pair of shoes the morning of your wedding or the day before and see how it feels. you can also get a little platform or rubber backed runner to stand on (that's what I did, just in case).

I recently used them at my son's garden wedding. For the rehearsal I wore shoes without them and sank right in! For the wedding I used them and they worked like a charm, no sinking in at all!
