I can't do heels, what are other options?

I'm in a similar situation...bad ankles (even with a plate & 5 screws in one of them!), outdoor wedding, and I'm 5'4" and FH is 6'2"...I am either going to do a low heel or wedge or maybe even flats. I would rather be comfortable! I don't quite want to wear flats since I think I just stand better/look thinner if I have a little bit of a heel.

I don't have my dress yet but have a navy gown for an event 7 months before the wedding...hoping I can find one pair of shoes that will work for both things!

You don't have to purchase 4" heels. Mine are only 2.5" or you could wear blinged out flats. Another option are wedges. Some people are wearing TOM's wedding shoes - lots of options, its really up to you.

FH is 5'8" and I'm 5'5" and still wearing heels!

I really love wedding sandals. I bet you can find some awesome ones on Etsy. I don't think heels are necessary. I am wearing wedges for a little more comfort and stability.

I will wear heels for the ceremony and half the pictures (the other half I'll be barefoot because we'll be on a beach). I plan on changing into pretty flats before going into the reception.

I have a very weak left ankle - I damaged it too many times from running, etc. that I have like 10% cartilage left. And then the arch on my right foot has fallen, making standing up for a period of time painful (but since I have flattish feet the doc said there's nothing to do unless the pain gets worse and moves).

Questions to consider...

1) Will anyone see your shoes under your dress? My dress is cocktail length, so my shoes will be 100% visible at all times!

2) Are you hemming your shoes for flats?

There are plenty of pretty flats in the world! Even evening flats!

I can't wear heels either. I'm wearing Toms. Probably the ones pictured below.

They're super comfy and they're cute.

I never wear heels, so I'm going to get a super expensive pair of ballet flats. I'm 5'3 and FH is 6'1, but I don't care. We are the same height all the time and I don't think it looks bad in photos..

Tom's make my feet sweat

I wear heels & I love them, but wearing them allllllll day can be tiring! I don't want to spend the first day after our wedding with sore toes! Plus, my groom is only 2 inches taller than me! So, I'm opting for Bridal Slippers for the reception. They're satin & come in ivory or white, with a small beaded applique. I don't like the look of flip flops (especially with a gown!) for weddings, so simple slippers are the way I'm going! Only $25!

I'm wearing booties with maybe a 2 inch heel. I hate heels but find that I'm much more comfortable in a low heeled boot.

I wore bridal slippers with beading on the front. I think you should make comfort your top priority, well over any height disparity. I know someone posted not long ago that she was going to wear hightops, which I thought was fantastic. I'd wear something 'fancy' for the pictures then whatever will let you dance the night away with the most comfort for the rest of the reception.

Wear what you want.... It's your day and you need to be comfortable

Wear wedges, they give you the lift but offer more support so they are much easier to walk in and your feet wont get as tired. The heel part of the wedges is softer (especially cork) and they are super comfortable.

There's lots of super cute flats out there, I'm going with flats even though I could handle heels, but I am having a Catholic ceremony so there's lots of up-down-up-downs. Plus I'm 5'10" and FH is 5'11"/6'0" and I don't want to be taller than him

I'm 5'2", husband is 6'. I wore flats because seriously, screw heels. Be comfortable. Your feet will thank you.

I am wearing cowboy boots...having a rustic wedding, and it is a perfect alternative to heels, which pains me that I can no longer wear them! (Undiagnosed foot problems, which = selling 100's of beautiful heels!) I think it is an awesome photo op, as well...and will take flip flops and/or ballerina slippers along for the reception, too.

Your height should not be a problem. My dad was 6'4" and my mom is 5'7". I am wearing sandals for my outside wedding. I don't think it will be a problem. There are a lot of pretty flats or sandals.

If you're worried about height difference, definitely do a wedge over a heel. Much easier to walk in and better if you have weak ankles! But there are so many nice flats out there!

I am not getting what the height difference makes? I mean, you are what heights you are, at all times, right?

Toms look like old lady shoes to me! LOL KTV...where are the sandals you posted, from? Beautiful!

I love Toms! I'm totally rocking them.

I wore blinged out ballet slippers.

I can't wear heels. I went to SAS shoes they have feet friendly shoes. I have arthritis and tendonitis in my left foot. San Antonio shoes.
