    I don't where heels. I got rainbow club shoes which are so comfy

    I'm going to need something nice on the day and am trying to find a next mix between something comfy and something that won't look out of contrast with my dress.

    and I'd rather just wear trainers anyway!

    I wore these to get married in..

    And finishing with these:

    Both pairs are by Melissa and are a jelly type which is super comfy.

    My aunt had the full white meringue dress accessorised with her favourite and comfy black Dr. Martens boots - this was about 25 years ago and pretty unheard of not to wear little white shoes back then.

    Half the guests never twigged, those of us that did know thought it was a great idea, Aunt enjoyed the whole day from start to finish without having sore feet and even great great aunty Ethel (who was about 90 at the time) thought it was the best idea ever and was determined she was going to get a pair for herself!

    The dress covered the boots entirely so in almost all the official wedding photos you have no idea what footwear she has on but there is one official photo deliberately taken with skirt hitched slightly to show off the boots.

    my wedding footwear is purple (my theme) Dr Martens that will be laced with ivory ribbon. i will be wearing a full lenth wedding dress and hope that as i walk down the aisle the tips of the boots will poke out and get people wondering.

    my mum put the idea in my head - but has warned me on pain of death of telling my dad she suggested it. my dress maker loved the idea, she is a family friend and was a little surprised i had not gone down a less traditional route with my dress.
    Dogs return to eat their vomit, just as fools repeat their foolishness. There is no more hope for a fool than for someone who says, "i am really clever!"

    Ooh I love the flats! Can't see the other pic. I originally bought a white pair of Mel heels with a heart for my wedding, but had to accept I can't wear heels. I literally own one pair of wedge style heels from Clarks that I can tolerate, but that's it.

    I have these now:

    Gloriously comfortable Dr Martens with a bit of a heel. I'll be buying some ribbon laces to match the colour of my dress.

    I fall over in bare feet!Take a look at Dr Martens "Aila" shoe These weren't around when I got married but I would have so worn them,but looking at the date of the post you may be married by now.
    Life is like a bath, the longer you are in it the more wrinkly you become.
  • I always find cool quirky shoes and trainers at office.
  • These are the bad boys I wore in the end - I got them off eBay!


    Everyone loved them (wouldn't say otherwise ofc), but I was soooo comfortable in them all day, perfect choice!
