    If it has to do with the shoes the bridesmaids will wear, I've learned that no one notices the BM's shoes, and it's best to let them wear whatever they want.  If they choose something tacky, clashy, or ugly, it will reflect on them, not you.  I'm just guessing that is your question by the headline, no? 
  • I let my bms wear whatever black shoes they wanted. I knew they wouldn't pick hooker shoes either. I trusted them. One wore ballet flats while the other 3 wore heels. No one focuses on bms shoes and my girls were wearing knee length dresses too. Your girls will thank you because they can pick out something that is comfortable for them and they may wear again.

  • every person has different feet and different comfort.  I have wide feet and can't wear heels, and I would never be able to find the same shoes that fit me that say my MOH would be wearing (unless I spent maybe 4x as much).  I am letting my girls pick their dresses also.  Let them pick what htey are comfortable in, then they can be there for you, and enjoy your wedding as well. 
  • Let them pick their own shoes.  They'll be happy, and no one else will honestly notice whether they are the same or not. 
  • Definitely let them pick their own shoes. No one will pay any attention to their shoes, if they even see them at all.

  • If they will have different dresses, different shoes may even be more appropriate than picking a shoe that really isn't great with some of the dresses....I say let their feet be merry and wear what they like.
  • Our BM's are picking their own style black shoe. I figure whatever will be comfortable for them is good with me!!

  • If your BMs want different shoes, let them have them.  No one will notice except for the poor girls who have to wear them and the last thing you want is for your girls to be uncomfortable.  I don't see what the issue is.

  • i dont see the problem. i was in my cousin's wedding and told her i wore a 12 and she went and picked shoes that went to an 11, til this day I still think that she is mad that we all had to wear different shoes because of me! Man the worse wedding ever, she made us wear stpcking with open toed shoes and when one BM showed up with footless stockings that went up to her knees we were all pissed....especially after we had to beat her hpuse ALL day waiting around for hours and hours.........sorry a little rant.

  • Let your BM choose their own shoes.  I have been in weddings where we all had to buy the same exact shoe.  Let me tell you how many times I wore each of those shoes...once.  One pair I threw away @ the reception.  Let them be comfortable.
