BM Shoe Hunt - help!

Hi girls, you all helped out so much when I got married last year, now I'm BM for one of my BMs and I need help. 
We're stuck on BM shoes. Myself and the bride's sister are BMs. Her sister has requested closed-toe shoes.
I have a foot injury and can only wear flats or low heels (max 1.5"). I also need shoes that are as soft as possible on the insole and not too narrow. That rules out most cheapy shoes (not a problem; just saying so you know the specs!).
The problem comes in that we ideally want silver shoes, and preferably blingy sparkly ones. However, as soon as you look for closed-toe, low heeled shoes, they're all black and boring!
Has anyone seen anything? Before having one toe-conscious and one gimpy BM drives my friend nuts.

Do you have to wear the same shoes? Could you not just go for silver and then both have different styles so that you are comfy and more likely to wear them again?0

They do need to be the same (one of my friend's rare bridezilla things). Her sister doesn't like wearing heels anyway so she doesn't mind the low heel issue that I have. I said 1.5". I can manage in 2" if they're fairly chunky heels rather than thin stiletto types. I'll probably be changing into something uber comfy for the evening anyway. My girls had flip-flops on for the dancing at my wedding!0

I have the purple version of these - they are very comfy - they have a nice soft insole.

Hi Sarah. Probably not much help, but seen these on NEXT and they look very comfy and low heel. there are a few others on there too. They look Ivory, maybe you can get them in a different colour?

I have the black and silver ones of these! Aren't they comfy?! I was really miffed when I developed this foot problem because I have a few pairs of Irregular Choice high heels that I can't wear anymore.I was over the moon with these because I'd lived in trainers for months and finally had some pretty shoes.
Unfortunately I can't wear them on the day as they don't really go with our dresses (red satin); we did consider it.
Thanks for the Clarks links girls! I'd looked at all the usual pretty shoe places and hadn't seen anything suitable. Clarks may be an option for comfort if they have something that looks dressy enough to go with BM dresses. I'll have a look through their list. :money:0 -
these are very pretty...but may not offer the insole support...
