Anyone up for a shoe hunt?

[misysu2]

I've been wearing my wedding shoes occasionally to break them in before the big day, but today I wore them to work and I realized that they just aren't going to work. They're broken in now and are still giving me pain. I think I'm back to the drawing board.

Would you like to help me?

I'm looking for a closed-toe shoe with a ~2-3ish inch heel. My dress has gold on it, so the shoes I originally bought were gold, but it'd be fun to have colored shoes, too!

I really like t-straps, but anything comfortable will do. I think just having a closed toe will make the big difference.

Thanks!!

ETA: I also love this pair, if this helps, but I really should just go with a closed toe.

Sorry, THIS pair!

I haven''t been able to top BIH, I will keep looking though

 

[misysu2]

Thanks for the help ladies! Anything with a non-pointy toe? I''m having problems finding shoes too, and Zappos is acting funny...

Because I love blue shoes: Blue Suede

These are more of a turquoise color, but peep toes: BCBG teal laser cutouts

Here's a teal wedge, I think I saw that your BM dresses were teal: Report teal wedge, peep toe, kind of

No t-straps so far...

Another wedge, blue/teal kind of color with flower detail: Report wedge, with ankle strap

YAY! T-strap! And closed toe! And gold!: Oh Deer! hot metallic heels, that seems to have a red heel...

Gold peep toe wedges: Guess hotness

I keep hoping that someone will buy these shoes. Copper and silver: BCBG with ankle strap

These are also peep toes in yellow or pink: BCBGirls peep toes

Ok, so these aren't really wedding-y but...:Anne Klein peep toe wedge

Going back to teal: Steve Madden teal peep toe

So I'm having serious problems finding closed toe shoes right now and I'm sure it's because all of the spring/summer styles are coming out, but I guess I'll just throw stuff out here anyway...

Bronze-y peep toes, probably don't work, but they're cute: Steve Madden strappy

Round toed shoes in practically every color: Steve Madden...3 inch heels

Ok so these are totally not what you're looking for, but I like them

: Carlos Santana blue with sequins and strappy

I think I'm giving up for the moment...Hope you saw something you liked even if not for the wedding!

ETA: I really love the shoes you posted a pic of above. I tried to find something that had a bit of bling in it, but was unsuccessful thus far..I have to tell you, I'm still looking though

 

[FrekeChild]

Ok...

Silver and gold t-strap: justsweet peep toe

These kind of reminded me of your other shoes (the gray jeweled peep toes--which I love BTW) Gray, ankle strap, bejeweled

I think I''m shoed out for the evening, everything is starting to look the same.

I am planning to wear ballroom dancing shoes for my wedding: super-comfy, and you can get them in many different colors and heel heights. I wouldn''t suggest you wear them outdoors much prior to your wedding...the soles are very soft so are much better for indoor wear!

 

[misysu2]

Gosh brazen irish and frekechild, those are some great suggestions! I feel like I''m always looking for something specific against the current trend. I saw a closed toe t-strap I loved in my Lucky magazine this month, but I can''t find it online. If you ladies find Report Shoes "Claudia", let me know. Why would they put it in a mag if it''s not available?

I think I''m going to head out and actually try some more peep toes on. Maybe it''s the degree of "peep" that''s killing my toes? I dunno. Hopefully I can also track down some of these and try them on. That teal-colored "semi-peep" wedge is looking tempting. That should be easy to find in a store here.

Thanks again!!

I LOVE those shoes. I figured they were a little too far out so I didn''t add them to the list but I thought about getting them for myself.
I love that sort of vintage, off beat style. you might want to look at these too:

Anthropologie has such fun shoes, but I am the only person I know who likes them.

 

[misysu2]

Ooh I like those anthropologie ones, too! It seems we have a similar style! Feeling better now that I have some good options in mind. Maybe I''ll wait until I can see my dress in person, since it''s already a little busy, to decide if the zappos shoes will work. (dress is supposed to be in next week!!)

 

[misysu2]

Ooh! Maybe these....

http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/35852256/c/1737.html

They're peep toe, but look like they've gotten very high comfort reviews. Would also match other clothes of mine for after-wedding wear.

or these: http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/35845416/c/38788.html

I would definitely try out some more peep toes if you find something you like. I think it''s a matter of finding something that hits your toes just right. Luckily peep toes seem to do well for me, which is convenient because they are my favorite style of shoe. I have to tell you that I went to bed and couldn''t stop thinking about shoes for about an hour. Lol. I was about ready to take a sedative...

I love looking for shoes for all of you brides, but it sucks too because I always find about 10 pairs that I want for myself in the process...Which my bank account does not allow for. And while everyone seems to be a 2-5 dress bride I''m so going to be a 20 SHOE bride. The dress is NOT going to be a problem.

I hope you find something you love, and thats totally comfy. Make sure to let us know what you end up with!! (And if I see anything else, I''ll definitely post it!)
