comfortable shoes!

[kellybelly]

so i am a bridesmaid in my future SIL''s wedding coming up in May and i desparately need to find shoes to match the dress. it''s a champagne sort of color, so i might even get lucky and not have to find a dyeable.

any suggestions? for reference, this is the dress and the color is Biscuit.

do you want flats or shoes with a bit of a heel? What''s your budget?

Nice dress! The color should be easy to work with.

It might be a tad early to ask, but do you know what accessories you''re going with?

Here are some questions to help me get a better idea of what you''re looking for: Are you looking for something strappy? are you leaning toward a sandal or closed-toe? Would you prefer a heel or a wedge? Do you want to avoid a certain height heel? Do you usually wear heels or do avoid them like the plague? Would a metalic shoe work for you (i.e.: bronze or gold), or would you prefer the shoes match the dress?

the bride has asked that the shoes match the dress color, so i either have to get a pair dyed OR get very lucky and find some by some strange miracle.

i''d like a heel, nothing over 3.5 inches, and a wedge would be the best, but i could deal with a normal heel. nothing too strappy because that kills the feet. a peep toe or something with a wider strap in front could work. or a slingback. no mules!

Being bridesmaid can be a pain in the wallet. So, are you looking to stay within a certain price range?

 

[aprilcait]

I''m not sure whether these will match the dress exactly, but I''ve heard Nordstroms is good about returns. You could also head to Nordies to see if they have the shoes in stock and bring a swatch of your dress with you to compare against the shoes. Even better, maybe you can find the shoes at Nordstrom Rack (love that place)!

Anyway, here they are: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2954769/0~2376778~2372808~2372940~2376188?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=2376188&P=4

Something in here could work: link

Or here: link

If you could give us a price range & size it''d be easier to pick out specific shoes...

I love that dress. I think it''s gorgeous!

Nina''s are very comfortable shoes for heels so if you decide on a dyeable, I would go with them.

Its tall, but the color is a pretty good match

The color is pretty good

A shorter heel, but a little bit strappy

A wedge, but a wood one which I find to be uncomfortable

I actually have the exact shoes aprilcait posted sitting in my living room. I ordered them before finding the dyeables version (almost exactly the same shoe, also sold by Nina under the name "Electra". You can find them on shoebuy.com). They seem darker in person than in the photo (too dark to go with my wedding dress). They are quite comfortable, but they run really big. I'm normally a 9, sometimes an 8.5, and in these I'm an 8. Kellybelly, if you'd like to see them better I can take some photos for you.

ETA: I posted pics of the dyeable pair in this thread: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/found-my-shoes.80596/

These look like a sorta close match - Zappos is the best for easy returns and QUICK shipping!
