Vans or Keds?

Jennifer, on June 7, 2019 at 9:21 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 30

Hi all! Please help me make a decision about shoes?

My dress will cover my shoes completely, so I recently decided that I want to get some new ~special~ sneakers because I: 1) barely wear heels, 2) want to be comfortable, and 3) want to wear my wedding shoes after the big day.

At first I was really into the idea of the Kate Spade glitter Keds, but I've read that some people found them uncomfortable, and honestly I haven't worn Keds in many years. However, I wear my Van Old Skools in black every day that I possibly can, so I'm leaning towards a new pair of those in a light blue color (my something blue)!.

Basically, which do you think is cuter, and if you have the glitter Keds, let me know what you think!

Thanks y'all!

    Hey Jennifer!

    Personally, I am a big fan of Vans! I wear mine almost every day too so it would be great to get that much wear out of your wedding shoes! I also think the bit of color would look great if you get a glimpse of your shoes while you're walking. Smiley love

    I'm a fan of Vans but I am also a fan of glitter lol. If you have heard that the Keds are uncomfortable then go with the Vans especially if you will re-ware them more often then the Keds.

    I personally like the Keds more, but you should go with whatever you're most comfortable in.

    I also like the idea of glitter keds, but prefer the fit of vans so that’s what I went with. I found a cute custom pair that fits very similar on Etsy.

    I personally feel like a clopping horse in Vans, so I would go with the Keds. I like the way they look better.

    BUT, if you've mastered walking in the Vans, and would wear them again and again, I'd say that the Vans seem to be the right choice for you.

    I love both! I think the Keds are more wedding-ish, plus I wanted some and never got them lol

    I decided to go with custom Van's. Super comfy, which is very important on such a busy! I will definitely be wearing these on our honeymoon, and probably after!

    I love both ideas. Super fun! I had a pair of kids and they were so hard and uncomfortable. I will never buy another pair. I guess though it depends on maybe the style of you wedding. I would also consider what your most comfortable in. I’m wearing glittery toms because those are what I’m most comfortable in and I know my feet won’t hurt on my wedding day which will have a lot of standing.

    I have the Kate Spade Keds and I’ve been wearing them around the house breaking them in. I think their comfortable!

    I'm more of a Vans girl, but not the style you are looking at, so I would choose the Keds personally. I don't typically wear Keds, but my favorite stationery company has a partnership with them, so I ordered a pair from them. They are similar to the traditional Vans style and I think they are quite comfortable! They feel a little less heavy than Vans in my opinion.

    I bought Keds to wear with mine because I love Keds but if you are a Vans girl, go for it!

    I wore the glittery Keds. They were a little stiff at first but I wore them to our dance lessons and that helped break them in!

    I'm a huge fan of Vans, and have been for 30+ years. These are so cute!! And to double as your something blue? Perfect!!

    If you already know you're comfortable in the Vans, that's what I would go with. You don't want to take a chance on comfort on your wedding day. Worst thing ever to have hurting feet!
