Shoes

Ok so my absolute dream shoes arrived this morning the Melissa/Vivienne Westwood PVC ones that have popped up around here on numerous occasions, and I don't know why it came as a surprise to me but they don't fit, and I am absolutely gutted. There is nothing I hate more than my feet, and I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever find a nice pair of shoes to wear. I've got a short wedding dress so they are going to be a focal point to my outfit and I just want something nice to wear :(:( I could actually cry because I fell in love with these shoes the moment I saw them, I knew they were "the ones" but now I can't have them.

I'm totally at a loss now, there is nothing I hate more than shoe shopping.. I'm supposed to be getting all excited about my wedding, but instead I'm just depressed that I'm going to look like an idiot with ugly shoes.

awww honey!

these shoes are goregous but are a pain in the bum if its not the feet fitting its the sling back slipping every 5 minutes!

i've just resold mine due to that reason so now how your feeling!

they clearly weren't meant to be! something will come your way x

Why don't they fit? Is it the style or the shape of your feet? Have you thought about going to a local shoe-shop (not a high-street name) who would be able to find you something that is just right for your feet and your dress?

I wanted those too, but I never wear heels so doubt my wedding day is the day to start.

I've got extremely wide feet, and I'm a size 9 so I very rarely find womens shoes to actually fit me. The heels I wear are from Evans, but they don't often have really inspiring designs in

Any other time I'm wearing shoes I have to wear mens... its so depressing.

Shoes ARE important!! Are they just too narrow? As they are PVC could they be 'warmed' slightly and eased on and gently stretched?
