i've been searching for shoes to wear to the wedding and stopped by nordstroms today.

i tried on this brand that i had never heard of before "athena alexander" and ooooo so comfy. i don't usually wear any type of heel and have low arches and am a size 4, so it's VERY VERY hard for me to find shoes in general that are even my size and then that are comfortable and that don't look matronly.

i picked up a pair that are 3.5 inches!!!! but they are so comfortable that i totally don't feel like i am in heels. i got them in silver. they are a lot blingier than i usually wear but since it is hard to find a size 4, i decided to get them and then go home to look up the brand to see what other styles she has. they aren't super dressy but i didn't want to get dressy dressy shoes because i know i probably won't wear them again.

they have a cushioned sole which is fabulous - i can't deal with the BP and even the naturalizer shoes that have no cushion whatsoever - and feel very light.

Athena Alexander "Apria" Sandal

i checked the nordstrom website and there even more styles so i think i will pick a few and order them to try out.

ETA : i noticed on the nordstrom site that it says that they tend to run small. i actually felt that they run a bit bigger. i have a teeny bit wider foot and size 4s usually feel just right for me - with these shoes they felt a little bit big even in the length.

You have TINY feet! Wow people used to comment on my shoe size (it *used* to be a 6-6.5 now a 7) as being small. I am such a baby about shoes and am so crabby when my feet hurt so thanks for this thread. Please post AFTER the wedding so we know how they REALLY held up

yep, tiny curses are what i got. i used to wish that i could at least JUST be a size 5 cause then so many more possibilities would open up. but maybe it is a blessing in disguise because i would probably own way too many shoes! :)

i usually go to the kids section of nordstrom first to check the kids shoes. it''s amazing the kinds of kids shoes they make these days - they have mega heels!

will let you know post wedding how my feet hold up!
 
Well, maybe your show size will grow after you have a few babies (if you are planning on having kids). That is what happened to mine. I asked my dad about it (he''s a doc) and he said my foot actually got flatter (not larger) b/c of the extra weight I carried. Lovely huh?

My mom actually was a 7 when she got married and now is an 8 after 3 kids so you may reach that 5 shoe size
