25 Perfect Pairs of Wedding Shoes That Are Also Comfortable

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 that feel as extravagant and unpractical as your dress. But you're not realizing just how much time you will be spending on your feet, and those really high heels are going to put a damper on your day.

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 a block-heel for the ceremony or sneaker for the party. Bloomingdale's Accessories Fashion Director Marissa Galante Frank elaborates on what to look, as she 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. Frank's input also comes from her own experience. "On my wedding day, I personally wore a Stuart Weitzman nudist in a custom silver metallic colorway. 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," she says.

Whether you plan to start the day in a stellar pair of pumps and later switch to flat Mary Janes or low-heeled mules 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. And don't forget to keep your hemline in line. Okay, now you're ready to hit the dance floor.
