Shoe help

sbradke

I bought Nina Culvers for my wedding in 11 days.  I've worn them around the house but they just aren't very comfortable on my feet. I don't really feel like I have time to find different shoes (of the same heel height of course) and break them in. I've seen some really cute sandles in the past that might work fine for the reception. Can anyone help me? My quick searches came up bust.  Maybe it's the wrong time of the year.

I bought a pair of wedged flip flops from Victoria Secret to wear during my reception.  I thought my heels I bought would suffice for the entire night but wanted a back up pair just in case.  Boy am I glad I bought a back up pair.  The wedges I got were the same height as my heels so there was no difference in my dress length.

VS has a pair of Colin Stuart print flip-flops that have a height of about 2 1/4" (I am guessing your shoes are about a 2.5" heel).  They come in a white/silver so it would be perfect for your dress, especially since, if your dress is long, no one will really even see your feet that much anyways.  Not sure of your size so that could have some bearing as to whether they are available or not.

Hope this helps!

ETA:  I would have put in the link but the VS website is blocked on my work computer.  Guess they don't want the guys at work to be staring at half naked chicks in lingerie all day

YES!!!!  That helps a ton.  I didn't think to look at VS.  And shockingly it's not blocked on my work computer.

My wedges were colin stuart as well but they were a taller wedge.  They were so comfortable!  I didn't have any type of foot pain at all and I was on my feet in them from about 5pm to 2am.

I ordered the white/silver ones.  My dress is ivory but I doubt anyone will notice.
