25 Comfortable Wedding Shoes to Wear for the Entire Wedding Day
Flats, block heels, sandals, and more.
It's the most magical day of your life. Correction: It's the most magical day of your life, and your feet hurt. Trust us, that's no way to kick off forever with someone. A pair of comfortable wedding shoes should be high priority on your bridal list. Sure, it can be tempting to throw comfort to the wind and opt for a pair of pumps that feel as extravagant as your dress. But you're not realizing just how much time you will be spending on your feet, and comfortable wedding shoes can make your big day even better.
Our Favorite Comfortable Wedding Shoes for 2023 Brides
That being said, you don't need to sacrifice style for comfort. You can still get the elegant details like beading, lace, feathers, and crystals in shoes that are comfortable enough for a full weekend of activities. Or, Bloomingdale's Accessories Fashion Director Marissa Galante Frank tells us, you can even find a shoe that's versatile enough to wear after you and your partner exchange vows. "On my wedding day, I personally wore a Stuart Weitzman nudist in a custom silver metallic colorway," Frank reflects. "I chose these shoes because they were comfortable and timeless and something I knew I could wear and enjoy for many events after my wedding day."
Finding a similarly versatile and wearable shoe comes down one key detail, Frank says. "The pitch of a shoe is a huge factor in comfort. Platforms and wedges are great options if comfort is a concern, because you still get height and distance from the floor but the pitch doesn’t need to be so severe." You're still getting the look you want, but you can actually wear it all night long.
Whether you plan to start the day in a stellar pair of pumps and later switch to flat Mary Janes, or intend to wear the same pair of platforms all night long, we've got the 25 most comfortable pairs of wedding shoes for every type of bride. Okay, now you're ready to hit the dance floor.
