Anyone have a thing for shoes? Wanna help me?

[Deleted User] · December 2010

I'm bored, I'm stuck at work for another 2 hours. So to pass the time I thought I would start looking around online for wedding shoes. I know it's going to take FOREVER to find a good pair because, well... in my experiance shoe stores don't believe womens feet come in anything larger then a size 9 (10 if you're really lucky). I unfortunatly was blessed with adorable size 11 flat feet. As such I never got a thrill out of shoe shopping.

So here's my request. Can I get your girls opinions on a few pairs?

If you guys are down I can post a few more links, lol.

THANK YOU

Number one looks like old lady shoes. The other two aren't so bad. I like the 3rd one best, I think.

And Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm Fishy.

Ash2985 · December 2010

I wear size 11s too! And I like the last pair the best. Then the 2nd link.

annakb8 · December 2010

Agree with PP. The third ones are the best.

Hi Fishy, Hi Ash. Yeah it seems anything with less then a four inch heel is designed for people over 60. It makes me sad

I like the last pair but dread trying to walk in them lol.

Ash, do you have any ideas where to look for shoes in our size?

[Deleted User] · December 2010

Can you guys recommend any good brands? (seriously ALL my shoes come from payless because they have my size and I want NICE (at least nicer) shoes for the wedding)

EDIT: emily, thanks for the tip im looking at the nina website now.

shortee426 · December 2010

I like both of Emily's suggestions. I prerfer her 2nd link, mainly cause I like sparkly things. Nina is always a safe (comfy!!!) bet. My shoes are Nina :-)

I usually shop Zappos and Nordstrom. Nordstrom is my fave, but Zappos overnight shipping and free returns are awesome too. I just like Nordy's because my mom wears size 12s (lucky her) and the sales guy knows what types of shoes we like and will call us when he gets the bigger sizes in of fun shoes.

Edit: Re: brands of shoes... it depends on what you want to spend. I adore Stuart Weitzman shoes, and can actually usually wear a 10.5, but they're not cheap! Can't wear Steve Madden b/c they run small, and I love Jessica Simpson shoes.

I actually like the lace ones. I also like number 3.

I can't decide if I love or hate these....

BTW thanks for helping me with this ^_^ I'm trying to refrain from talking about things non stop with my bm since the wedding is still so far away.

The Cole Haan Air line is comfortable.

I don't like the pair you just posted, but that doesn't really matter, I don't have to wear them. I do wonder though about the 4" heel if you were worried about walking in the previous pair you'd posted.

[Deleted User] · December 2010

yeah, i wouldn't get them. They just caught my eye cause i couldnt decide if i liked or hated them.

sister2groom · December 2010

I have odd-sized feet (width more than length) and I swear by DSW, it's not a brand, but it's fantastic. The one by me always has shoes on sale, so if I look early enough and am flexible with my search parameters, I usually never spend more than $40 on shoes, and often much much less (I've developed a magnetism to those yellow 80% off stickers).

[Deleted User] · December 2010

Maybe these in honor of fishy if she likes crocs

LDYGTR13 · December 2010

That pair you can't decide if you love or hate...

you hate them.

Anyhoo, um, I never end up finding the same brand anytime I shop, so I dont swear by anything except shoe stores like DSW that you dont have to wait forever for a salesperson to go to the back and find out they dont have your size - you just look. If they dont have my size I normally give up and go on and waste a LOT less time.

[Deleted User] · December 2010

I don't like the first pair. But #2 and #3 would be fine for wedding shoes.

doctabroccoli · December 2010

How about some cute flats?

squeakyduck · December 2010

I love the second pair in the OP.

What color are you looking for? Because I normally swear by DSW but I wanted white shoes and they didn't have any.

I actually found my shoes on TK and went to the designer website to buy.

I wore salsa shoes, and they were really comfortable since they're made for dancing. I lasted in them for 8 hours with very little sitting.

I like the 2nd pair best.

I am planning on getting Toms for my wedding. :-) So comfy and they have a wedding line.

Goldlie11 · December 2010

Of the one's you originally posted, I like #2. I really like the Nina shoes that Emily posted.

Now if you can't find what you like, have them made. That's what I'm doing. My feet are even larger than yours. After buying and returning 10 pairs from zappos and endless, I ended up here:

Just be advised that they they take about 6-8 weeks to be made.

Cristine2011 · December 2010

Wow, I can't believe I've never been on the zappos website, why did I have to discover it during exam week?!

I love these: http://www.zappos.com/rsvp-angelique-champagne

These are pretty special too: http://www.zappos.com/nina-neva-tea-rose-satin

But these would be a contender for me too: http://www.zappos.com/stuart-weitzman-paradise-midnight-satin

I'm basically a fan of anything wiith a high heel and peep toe, but the little details make it special.
