My wedding shoes hurt!!

How are they painful? Is it the toes, balls of your feet or heels? Dr.Scholls has an insert if it's balls of your feet or for a heel that is rubbing against your skin. I'm personally trying to wear mine to stretch them out a little, they are tight in the toes.

You may be able to loosen them if you look on Pinterest I saw some ideas using a hairdryer and wearing socks. Otherwise get the insoles for the ball of your foot that's where the most pressure lands.

I'm not much help here -- my friend had foot surgery and her doctor told her to ditch heels. She really can't wear them :/

I guess you have to decide if the aesthetic is worth the pain.

Have you tried a wedge style shoe? I broke my foot years ago and still have hardware in it from surgery. I can only wear certain kinds of shoes. Wedges that create a slight heel (1-2 inches)are more comfortable for me than flats.

If that doesn't work for you, I've seen a few brides get shoes that are made for ballroom dancers. They have a short heel and are made to be comfortable.

If your shoes aren't comfortable, I would keep looking until I found some that are.

I broke my foot and completely tore ligaments and there is no way I could do heels for that long. If I did I would be braced for days. Do what ever makes you comfortable. Maybe a kitten heeled sandal would work?

Ha! Same here. I didn't realize how much my shoes hurt me till I stood for over an hour for my first dress fitting. Dr scholls inserts from cvs dos the trick and I survived my second fitting!

I don't have any suggestions for inserts, but I have the weirdest feet and most shoes hurt me. I bought a pair of white Comfot Plus shoes at Payless and they were perfect, I was able to wear them for almost 11 hours straight.

Dr. Scholl's has lots of inserts to provide cushioning and different support - arch, ball of feet, heel. There's also the full insoles that provide cushioning and support for everything.

Moleskin for the places where the shoe rubs against your foot.

Kitten heels may be a better option.

FMW, please...don't wear black wedges with that gown. Actually, I think the style of gown you've chosen is a 1950's ballerina style gown (it's made to show off the very lower portion of the leg and the ankle. My mother made and wore this style at her 1959 wedding, and I've always thought it was fabulous). The tea-length, also popular in the 1950's, was cut immediately below the knee.

In any event, I love your gown. I love the length and the style. However, what puts that style over the top is the right shoe. Black wedges???? No, no, no. You need some kind of white heel, even if it's a kitten heel, and even if it's just for photographs. Feel free to take them off after the real portraits are done. You'll be so much happier with your wedding photos. After that, slip into those ballet flats ASAP.

Centerpiece, I would never!! LOL What I meant was I didn't know if wedges would pull off that same look with my dress, not those specific wedges.

Also, I always thought tea length was just above the ankle? Am I wrong?

Try shoe strecher to strech your shoes,they can go up half size till one size. Keep them a week or two,it helped me!!

Tea length is as Centerpice described. A kitten heel would look really nice with that dress. It's lovely, btw!

She changed it because of another thread she has going (something rather innocuous -- "Who Should I Pay First?"). After roughly seven replies -- the majority of which were helpful, she said she was tired of being made to feel like shit (something about explaining her LDS status -- an issue she brings up with every thread she posts). I doubt she'll be around much longer.
