Blue Tux Shoes

[Amandine]

Has anyone worn or used Blue Tux Shoes? I am trying to find a way to incorporate blue into my shoes. I haven''t ruled out blue shoes, but it''s making my normally open-to-most-ideas Mom flip out. Which I take into consideration, but would wear anyway if I found something I loved. I thought that perhaps the blue sole on these shoes might be a way to compromise.

Wow I don't have any of these, but I think I am going to order these. They are so cute! Cute shoes! And on sale!!

ETA: I think the blue sole can definitely be the something blue!!

Haha, I thought you were looking for shoes to go with a blue tuxedo, and I was getting a little worried! I've never heard of that company before, but those shoes are really cute! I think the blue sole works as your something blue in a really unexpected way!

ETA: Whoops, I thought the shoes on the first page were the ones you were looking at, but ALL the shoes on the site seem really cute!

I ordered the shoes, so I will let you know what I think when they get here.

I ordered my shoes thru blue tux. I love them. The only thing is that the ''blue'' sole was not really the blue i thought it would be, it''s darker. Like almost a purplish - blue. But still blue I guess, so I''m going w/ it!

these are the shoes I bought.....I was looking for a wedge heel since our wedding is outside....love them!

No, we are totally having an 80s theme wedding with powder blue tuxes...

I totally thought the same thing when I ran across this company, but what a fun name! I kind of like Sherri, but I am not sure. I need a lower heel, 2" or under. FI is not a lot taller then me, and it was his only real request: no sky high heels! I am 5''9" to begin with, so I don''t really mind (this once!). AND they carry 10.5, which is pretty much impossible to find.

Are you referring to the blue words of the brand on the actual shoe or am I missing something else? I looked at them and they are super cute but I ended up going with something else... I might have gotten blue tux ones though if I''d realized they actually had blue on them!

Mine are green and I''ve gotten lots of negative comments about them... some people just aren''t into colored wedding shoes.

My parents think I am nuts for wanting to wear a blue shoe. I don''t want royal blue, but something soft: baby blue, blue-grey, etc. But, in my defense, I am well known in my family and circle of friends to be a shoe nut. My Mom keeps saying, "how will I explain this to my family?". Its funny, she owned bright orange patent leather shoes in her youth!

But, I guess she didn''t wear them to her wedding, either. Once I find something I love, I''ll just go with it to h*ll with what everyone else thinks!

Wow we are in similar situation. I am 5''9" and FI is like 5''8.5", so no sky high heels for me either. I love the idea of a blue grey or a baby blue, I think it is beautiful!! Wear what you want to wear.

My current (I say current cause I found a new pair that are a goldish color that I''m drooling over...) pair of wedding shoes to be are blue(ish)! I see it this way... my dress covers my shoes anyways, and no one really looks at your shoes on your wedding day, unless they love shoes or are expecting something fun anyways!

Since I own a pair, the soles of these shoes are blue. So regardless if you dye them blue or not, you''ll have your something blue!
