How Much Did You Spend on Your Shoes?

Alicia, on June 16, 2019 at 7:48 PM

Posted in Wedding Attire 218

If you're comfortable sharing, how much did you spend on your shoes for the big day? I found a pair that I am absolutely in love with, but they are way more expensive than I even considered spending on shoes. Do I splurge on the pair I love or compromise because they're just shows for just one day?...

    Technically I didn't spend anything on mine because I bought boots on a trip to Nashville that I wear all the time and are perfect for my rustic themed wedding.

    The shoes that I am looking at are between $25-$50. I found really great options on Amazon. My dress is floor length so I don't want to spend a ridiculous amount on the shoes.

    I spent $30ish on mine. They are flats, which I’m comfortable with, and they were on clearance at Famous Footwear! I’m not a heels person.

    I think mine were around $90, but I'll probably be able to wear them even after the wedding with certain outfits. If that wasn't the case, I probably wouldn't have spent $90!!

    I only spent $87 on mine. No one sees your shoes so I could not justify spending hundreds of dollars on wedding shoes. I went with comfortable Kate Spade flats that I can wear all night, but will still look really cute/pretty in photos.

    My dress is floor length so I wasn't too concerned about the type of shoe. I am purchasing mine from amazon, they have just a small heel for $29.99. The first pair that I tried on at a wedding dress shop was $150.00 and I thought that was toooo expensive. After that is when I went on Amazon, and started looking at their shoes, and found something similar to the $150.00 shoe.

    I actually found a pair of Badgley Mischka wedges on ebay last night that I absolutely love. They are very gently used. With shipping - 29.19

    Can't wait to take them with me to try on wedding dresses!

    I have to ask whether you've already decided on going with them? I splurged and wore their Adora flats for my wedding. I know no one saw them under my dress, but I'm absolutely in love with them and they were super comfortable. No regrets. 💕

    I have a floor length gown so I knew spending a ton on shoes was gunna be a waste lol But just in case they peaked out at any point, I wanted to at least be classy chic about it whilst keeping comfort above all else! Ended up at a brick and mortar shoe store (Famous Footware apparently; ironic in that I’d never heard of them before my mom took me there lol)

    My mom couldn’t walk anymore after all the running around we’d done that day so I perused their aisles looking for anything decent alone. Found these cute wedges. Didn’t even occur to me they were $70!!!!! D:

    Thankfully they were on sale so I ended up getting them for just $39 or so (still way too much based on what I normally wear) and so far I’m very excited to wear them. They’re very comfy and knowing any sort of actual heel will kill me, these wedges seem to handle the trick of giving me some height and also being casually comfy :3

    I spent about $700 on a pair of Louboutins, if you found a pair you love and you can swing it splurge! As a side note I do wear heels pretty much every day so I’m not worried about staying in them and I’ll be able to wear them again in the future.

    About $70 — including shipping, I used honey or wikibuys to find a discount code which took it to about $64. I bought very strong shoes that I knew would support me all night. I was in shows in school and I loved my character shoes. They provide a wide heel with comfy support and balance and lasted me hours on stage—and have a leather shoe so they will conform better to the foot. So i got tan character shoes, and on top of that I found this tutorial to decorate the wntire shoe in Swarovski crystals, which will probably bring the value of the shoe up because CZ can be pricey. So they’ll probably equate to $100+ —

    The shoes were really important to me. Mine are Christian Louboutin and were $1,195. I just got them this weekend and to me they complete my look and were worth every dollar spent. It all depends on the person, but I say SPLURGE!!
