Bridesmaid Shoes

[violet02]

Okay so I have one friend who's quite tall and she doesn't mind strappy shoes. I have another friend who's about 5' 6" and she hates strappy shoes. I want them to own something cute enough to wear again though. I'm asking that they get silver shoes to match the shoe color I'm getting.

Here are my shoes:

Here's the dress we just picked out last weekend, it will have straps added to it and be in 'party pink' or 'magenta' color (hemmed to knee length as well):

Here's the style of shoes the taller bridesmaid originally liked (because she thought they needed to be dyed):

We're not going with these....

Bridesmaid 2 cannot wear any type of 'strappy' shoe particularly with small strappy parts across the toe. Both girls are pretty modern/hip/edgey etc. So they won't want to go to boring on the shoes.

I also have my ten year old cousin/jr bridesmaid to find shoes for as well.

Can anyone suggest some reasonably priced (under 200 bucks, as cheap and comfy as we can go!) silver shoes maybe one with straps one with kitten heel pump etc for both girls? They are spending about $300 plus on dresses so we don't want to go too much on the shoes but I don't want them dying from foot pain all day either. One pair can be 2 1/2 inch heels the other 3 1/2 inch or whatever works. If they both could match great... if not, oh well. Also no flats at all.

Pain in the neck huh? I'm still struggling with bridal party colors!

Thanks everyone!

First, I have to say, 5''6 is the short one! Sigh.
Anyway. I don''t totally understand what you mean by "strappy", but I will do my best.
I am not sure if the first pair is too strappy, but I own them and they are exceptionally comfortable and I have always liked wearing narturalizer shoes.

Not strappy (ninas are very comfortable):

I have the Naturalizer''s (the first link) for 2 weddings I''m in this year.

I think you''ll definitly be able to find shoes for less than $200. Are your BMs ok with paying that much for shoes? You can easily find shoes around the 50-75$ mark (and your BM will thank you for it!) Try searching Zappos.com first.

How about these for your bridesmaids? http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/26887022/c/3298.html
They are super cute in person.

Rampage makes a silver flat just like the shoes in the link that would work for your Jr. Bridesmaids. The only bad part is I can''t find them online. They are called "Gabi."

All of those shoes look great! I think low price and comfort are KEY. They don''t want to pay $200 for shoes, under $100 is great. I really like the big selection of links you all posted, thank you!

EMP, do you know if the shoes you posted above are comfy or not? They''re very cute. I just want to make sure they''re going to make it on their feet for 9 hours.

Definitely have your BMS try the Marciano Pilsners before they agree it. My cousin is quite tall and she finds shoes like that where the heel is set further forward to be very uncomfortable. It doesn't bother me, but I am a lot shorter so I guess that makes the difference.

violet02 - I am sorry to say, I am not sure if the Guess Pilsners are comfortable or not. I have purchased them in the silver but haven''t worn them due to snow session here. I did walk around in them at the store and they seem pretty comfy. I was able to pick mine up on clearance at our local Carson''s for a steal of a price. That is where I picked up the Rampage Gabi''s also. They are identicial in appearance to the Pilsner except they are flats.
