Any recommendations for comfy heels?

Kgb23

I am 5'3 and my groom is 6 ft. Thus, I need to be in 2 to 3 inch heels. Have any of yall had luck with some comfortable heels that you can recommend? My feet always start to hurt after 30 min in most of my heels. I am hoping someone has found a brand that makes high heels that are comfy!!Please let me know!!!!

My go-to comfy shoes are Aldo and Bandolino.

Comfort varies from person to person though, so some general things to look for in a shoe: a cushiony platform, and a really stable heel. In fact, having a platform overall will help somewhat, because it means your heel can take more of the weight. Having really stable heels (or even a wedge, I love wedges) will keep your ankles from fatiguing.

I wore salsa dancing shoes as my wedding shoes. They were comfortable (to me) for the first 7 hours, then I switched to platform flip flops.

I've heard cole haan has some beutiful comfy bridal heels--but be warned as they can be expensive. And I can't believe somebody posted Aldo--those are the most uncofortable shoes I ever owned... and I had two pairs.

If you're going for height I might also try something with an ankle strap as they tend to hold your foot better in place--but that's just me and I'm also only 5'2.

Cole Haan shoes are worthwhile splurge. 

I have a fun strappy pair for the ceremony and will be changing to a pair of Bloch ballroom shoes for the reception - SO comfy but since they have a soft sueded leather sole they can't be worn outside.

I agree with Cole Haan, especially styles with the Nike "air" pockets.  I wore Cole Haan wedges (Air Elly Criss-Cross style).  I had them on 11am until 1am and my feet never got sore.

Cole Haan is actually having a sale right now if you make a $5 donation. If you find some you like, I'd keep an eye on them to go on sale.  Mine were originally $180 and I paid $80 for them off Cole Haan's website.

I put shoe clips on them to dress them up for the big day and now I took them off and plan to rewear them for work this summer

Agreed on Bandolino. They make very comfy shoes. I've only bought low heels from them though.
I have bought a couple really high spiky heels from Aldo, and they are not designed to wear all night. No cusioning on the ball of your foot and both pairs I bought the strappy part on the bottom dug into my feet really badly even though my feet are pretty narrow.

Nine west are always good for me.

Also, try ballroom dancing shoes.

I like to go on zappos.com and endless.com and read reviews of shoes I'm interested in, and then I can buy a couple of pairs and mail back what I don't like (both sites have free shipping both ways, and you can return shoes w/in a year if you don't wear them outside).  I am in the process of doing that with my wedding shoes (have 4 pairs at home), and I had good luck getting a pair of black strappy sandals for a wedding last summer based on tons of positive user reviews.

I got this shoe.  I find them comfy given how high they are (3.75).  Nothing else I tried were comfy for me.

I saw others mentioning ballroom shoes.  I didn't have good experiences ordering such shoes.  I ordered DSOL ballroom dance shoes in white (one of the first to pop up), and they were the most flimsy and worst constructed shoes I have ever seen.  It was as if they were made out of cardboard, and they were shipped directly from China.  Maybe there's a better company, though.

The Walking Company had some online.  They may not be the cutest, but they were more comfortable than the average heal.  Unfortunately one size was just a tad too small for me and the other way too big, but maybe they would work for you, and you can return them for free in store.
