Fred Flintstone in Heels....

Shellycherea, on January 24, 2018 at 11:42 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 21

Hi Everyone! I need some inspiration for my wedding shoes. I literally have feet like Fred Flintstone: flat, fat and wide. Because I don't have arches in my feet, I've aways struggled with finding cute yet comfortable shoes. Now that I'm getting married, I'm feeling a bit anxious about finding shoes for the day that I feel sexy in. I just keep imagining myself in therapeutic shoes.

I'm leaning towards wedges but I'm not finding a lot of cute options. I can't be the only person with this issue, right?

    Will your dress cover your shoes? If so, just wear whatever you feel comfortable in! I love the sparkly Kate Spade Keds! Flats can look just as special as heels, and you'll have a much better time feeling comfortable all night. Heels are definitely not a requirement for weddings. If you really, really, want to wear heels, I'd go for something with a low, chunky heel.

    If you want help, give us more information: size, width, color, budget, preferred style.

    I'm wearing rose gold glitter toms! I've never worn heels in my life because I'm pretty tall. I agree that comfort should be a priority. My friend did the glitter keds as stated in PP.

    My dress is floor length but I know I'll want some shots of my shoes.

    I typically wear a size 9W. Maybe ivory color like my dress and I'm open to any style with a wide heel for support. I'm not sold on flats but I could be open to it. I would prefer to not go over $150 for shoes.

    Please note that I am short (5'1) so I'll need to know which type of shoes I'm wearing by the time I have my fitting. My FH is tall (6'2).

    Check out shoes of prey - you can design your own shoes there. Many brides here have gotten their shoes from them and rave about them.

    I have the same issue and actually wear the same size shoe. I have found that sometimes going up a half size can help if you can’t find a shoe in wide. I am wearing an open toe 2 inch block heel that is amazingly comfortable (and doesn’t pinch like most shoes do).

    I have the same problem except my feet are bigger, 10W but most women's wides aren't wide enough. I've resorted to buying men''s sneakers. I have had luck finding cute shoes that fit at plus size stores in the past. Planning on starting to look once they get spring/summer shoes in. My FH is the same height as me, so I am looking for flats. I plan on checking Avenue, Lane Bryant, and Torrid. I've had luck at Maryland Square for the extra width but they didn't have any white last time I checked.

    I have bigger ankles ( not fat just bigger) and the strap fits perfect. I found them on Amazon

    I never thought about looking into plus size stores. Like jean shopping, I try to avoid shoe shopping as much as possible. I'll give it a try. Thank you!

    I like these! I wonder if that's a low enough heel for me to stay comfortable.

    I don’t wear heels often and I find these very comfortable. And you can’t beat Amazons return policy if they aren’t comfortable.

    I'm wearing flats, simply because I don't want to be a barefoot bride come dancing time. Heels are by no means a requirement.

    I found these at DSW for just $25! I broke my ankle and I just can't wear a high heel for my wedding. These are nice and low, comfy and going to be my something blue! Good luck!Fred Flintstone in Heels.... 3

    I found these at Macy's. Super comfy, yet very pretty flats. They are in sake right now for $79, but my mom used her Macy's card and got mr an even better deal $38 when they were doing one of their one day sales
