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?...

    I'm hoping not to pay too much for shoes. I'm wearing canvas shoes (Keds) on my day. They will go with the theme.

    I splurged (115) but I talked With my fiancé first before I spent our wedding funds on something like that.

    I have 2 pairs of shoes.. a ceremony shoe and a reception shoe... for my ceremony shoe I spent about $20.00 and for my reception shoe I spent $200. A customized converse with my wedding colors, new name and date of marriage on them... they are DOPE! So it just depends on what you want..

    I spent $50 on a pair of white converse 😊 I have been collecting converse for 10 years so my whole guest list almost expects it lol I am definitely doing it for me though. Comfortable, reliable and they will be my new favorite shoes!

    I believe my shoes were $80. One of my bridesmaids bought them for me.

    I spent $23 on my ceremony shoes! They were on sale on eBay! I, also, got a great price on OTBT wedges that I’ll change into for the reception so I can have comfortable shoes to dance in! I plan on wearing both of these again.

    I spent $15 on mine! I wanted a pair of low wedges and happened upon these. They were heavily clearanced. They’re so beautiful!

    $20 off Amazon! I'm not really into shoes and couldn't justify the expense unless I would wear them again. I might wear these again because they're silver with a little heel.
    I figure a good comfortable shoe in a nuetral or nude color is always reusable so if you think you could reuse it then spending a little more is alright.

    I spent about $40 on a basic pair of heels that I could wear again. Comfort and wearability were important to me over a pair of bedazzled shoes. No one saw my shoes the entire day, as is true with most wedding shoes/dresses since they are so long, and it didn;t make much sense for me to splurge on something not that important in the grand scheme of it!

    Mine are fabulous Betsey Johnson. Originally $105 but got them for $55 new on Poshmark. Even spending that was a stretch for me because no one is going to see them. I like them so much though so I may find a short white dress to wear out after the wedding to show them off.

    I fell in love with my shoes at DSW and they were on clearance (60% off) but they didn't have my size. I was so upset because they were literally just what I wanted. i grabbed the sku for the shoe and searched all over the web... fianlly found them but they were sold out. I kept checking back every few weeks and they finally came back in stock. I bought mine on steinmarts website for $23.46 plus shipping (around $32 in total) How Much Did You Spend on Your Shoes? 7

    I bought myself a pair Rothy's for $125. They are super comfortable and I will definitely wear them again. I didn't want to spend money on a pair of shoes I would wear for only one day.

    Well, I’ve cycled through about 4 choices (but returned the other 3) based on what worked with my dress. Pair 1 was $60 but the gems snagged and almost ripped the inner lining of my dress, pair 2 was $30 but too high of a heel, pair 3 was $17 and almost perfect except the heel was too skinny & I couldn’t stand very long in them. The 4th and final pair is $125 but worth every penny. Perfect height, perfect width of heel, and they don’t snag my dress.

    The pair that I want is $225. I really don't want to spend that much, so I'm looking for a knock off pair or another pair that is similar. In all honestly, I'll only wear them once.

    $25 plus shipping, new. What was important to me was having a pair that I really loved and had that wow factor. Usually I wouldn't splurge on something just to use it once but this is a special occassion.
