9 Most Comfortable Wedding Shoes Brides Swear By

As shopping editors, we do not take the challenge of finding the ideal wedding shoes lightly. From the walk down the aisle to the first, second, and tenth kisses, to hours spent dancing, and possibly even a picture shoot that requires a mile-long walk, the best wedding shoes get you through every moment of your special day. At the very least, it would be a one-way ticket to being barefoot by dessert if you did not have the appropriate pair of comfy shoes to manage all that. You have come to the correct location if you are determined to stay away from either situation.

We have compiled a list of nine of the most comfy wedding shoes available, along with (modestly edited) customer reviews. From premium shoes you will want to treasure forever to an Amazon favorite for $50, there is something for every budget. Styles include heeled sandals, lace detailing, pearl-embellished shoes, and more. Our investigation involved reading reviews line by line, searching through Reddit posts, and asking married employees which pairs they wore (and which they wished they didn’t).

Editor Quote: As of this writing, I have already attended two of my three summer weddings in the Dream Pairs Open Toe Pump Chunky Heel Sandals. I will admit that at the first wedding, I kept silent while everyone else showed off their expensive shoes before the ceremony because I spent almost nothing on mine. The fact that I was the only bridesmaid to wear my shoes throughout the reception, however, made me smile. They were stable and somewhat comfy. My shoes held me upright even though I had some problems walking down the aisle due to my unhemmed dress, which was entirely my fault. — Marisa Petrarca, Shopping’s contributing editor

03. Best Lace Wedding Shoes

Betsey Johnson Women’s Nikki Pump ($119)

These embroidered, lacy shoes conjure vintage vibes in the most stylish way conceivable (all the elegance, none of the dust), as one Amazon customer said. Along with the elaborate beading, they have a lovely blue bottom that will cross off “something blue” from your list of things to accomplish.

04. Best Wedding Shoes With Pearls

Dolce Vita Women’s Kanika Pump ($135)

The tiny pearl-covered top of these polished, pointy-toed heels communicates “I am getting married” better than anything else. They come in full and half sizes, and they look much more expensive than they are. You can even have the same silhouette in more subdued colors for future wear if you fall in love with them on your special day.

• Colorways: 4

What Reviewers Say: “Normally, I detest wearing heels. They consistently cause blisters on my pinky toe and cut the back of my ankle. These sneakers are comfy. For my wedding day, I wanted heels that I could wear for extended periods without feeling uncomfortable. I stood in them for approximately an hour during my dress fitting, and even though my wedding day has not come yet, I have been wearing them around the house to break them in. I will not have any pain for a long time while using them.

05. Best Pointed-Toe Wedding Shoes

Badgley Mischka Collection Blaze Pump ($198)

These ankle-strap pumps are eye-catching for soon-to-be brides since they tie into a delicate bow at the side. If white is not your thing, they come in a gorgeous array of colors like mist blue, blush pink, and classic black. The three-inch heel strikes the perfect balance between being neither too tall nor too short.

• Pros: Offers ankle support; Chic chiffon ankle-wrap bow; Elegant
• Cons: Stains easily

• Colorways: 4
• Who it’s best for: Best for brides who want a sleek mid-heel with a subtle back bow

What Reviewers Say: “These shoes were fantastic when I wore them to my wedding! They were quite comfortable to walk in, and the tie truly helps to stabilize and support the ankles. I wore them for almost twelve hours on the wedding day after breaking them in before the ceremony. At the end of the day, my feet hurt, but it was tolerable! I adored these shoes.

06. Best Wedding Shoes With a Bow

Loeffler Randall Camellia Pearl Pleated Bow Heel ($395)

Thanks to their distinctive crinkled fabric and bow accent, as well as the extra comfort of a padded footbed, these Loeffler Randall sandals are the pinnacle of style. Although pearl white is the obvious wedding-day preference, they are also available in tints like pastel blue if you are still looking for that “something blue.”

• Pros: Has an adjustable buckle strap; Vegan; Has chic pleating

07. Best Platform Wedding Shoes

Margaux The Platform Sandal ($395)

Using platforms is a wise decision if you are getting married outside. They give you a noticeable height lift and are more stable on grass or sand than conventional pumps. Whether you are heading to your rehearsal dinner or down the aisle, they are a chic choice for any wedding occasion.

• Pros: Cushioned with a comfy 5mm layer of foam; Handmade in Spain; Available in a wide, medium, and narrow fit
• Cons: Runs small — the brand suggests going up half a size
• Material: Italian suede and leather
• Colorways: 5
• Who it’s best for: Brides who want a little extra height without giving up comfort

What Reviewers Say: “These platform sandals were ideal for my wedding, and I wore them! To begin with, the style is timeless and looked stunning underneath my outfit. However, I danced all night long with these, and my feet did not get blistered or injured. I wore them nonstop for seven hours. These sneakers have a classic look and are incredibly supportive and comfy. I absolutely will wear the shoe I wanted to buy again.

08. Best Pearl-Embellished Wedding Shoes

Stuart Weitzman Bliss Pointed Toe Pump ($510, originally $850)

Do not pass up this cheap Stuart Weitzman pair, which is adorned with pearls of various sizes for an all-over texture. They are ideal if you want to match the pearls on your gown or want to add some flair to a minimalist garment. You can not go wrong either way.

• Pros: Practically made for a close-up in your wedding album; On sale right now (!); A no-brainer if your dress has pearl accents

• Material: Textile and leather
• Colorways: 1
• Who it’s best for: Brides looking for a pump with lots of texture and/or pearl detailing

What Reviewers Say: “I am very excited to wear these, which I purchased for my wedding. They are quite easy to walk in and the perfect height. Like most designer shoes, I would estimate that they run about a half size small. In person, these are much more stunning. The pictures do not do them credit.

09. Best Editor-Loved Wedding Shoes

Marion Parke Lottie 85 Sandal ($575)

Aside from the fact that each pair of shoes designed by Marion Parke is classic and effortlessly stylish, there is one thing you should know about her: she used to be a podiatrist. And that is evident. With padding that gradually conforms to your foot’s particular shape, these shoes are designed to be comfortable. Even after spending hours on her feet, one of our editors swears by their stability and wore shoes on her wedding day.

• Pros: Designed by a podiatric surgeon-turned fashion designer; Cushioning molds to your unique foot shape; Versatile
• Cons: Most expensive pair of wedding shoes on our list
• Material: Nappa leather
• Colorways: 3
• Who it’s best for: Brides or guests looking for an investment pair of elegant heels they can wear well beyond the wedding day

Editor Quote: Wedding day is no longer in stock. If you have some flexibility with your color choice, they are still available in soft gold, silver, and black. I first put on a pair of lacy white pumps, but I soon discovered they were not made to last a whole day on my feet. It was wise to switch them out for this pair. Even on grass and gravel, they remain remarkably stable and comfy long into the ninth hour of the most amazing day of my life. — MP
