Strutting In With Style: 11 Types of Wedding Shoes for Your Wedding

Unsure of what type of shoes to wear for your big day? You have come to the right place because from tall to petite girls, we have got everyone covered and we will be sharing with you a list of shoes that you can pick from!

1. Stiletto heels

Amongst all the types of wedding shoes, stiletto heels are definitely hands-down the classiest of them all. Characterised by the long, thin heels that go up to 10 inches in height, it is no doubt the BFF of petite women.

However, this style of shoes are exceptionally challenging and it could pose as a strain on your legs especially if heels are merely your acquaintance. So steer clear of stiletto and read on for more comfortable wedding shoe options (I promise, the other options would not require you to compromise your beauty)!

2. Kitten heels

Kitten heels, which are only 1-2 inches, is a great alternative for stiletto heels. Not only does it give a slight boost to your height, but it is also comfortable to walk in it for long hours!

3. Platform heels

Definitely another BFF of petite women, platform heels should be at the top of the list of brides who wish to add a significant amount of height. Albeit reducing the elegance of the heels due to the chunky platform, it does contribute to greater comforts as the raised platform helps to elevate the ball of your feet. This means that it places your feet at a more comfortable arc and angle that would allow you to survive through the long day.

4. Ankle Strap shoes

For those who need a greater sense of security while walking down the aisle, we have found the pair that you have been searching high and low. With the ankle strap, it adds additional stability and ease in walking (don’t have to worry about missing one side of your shoes while walking down the aisle)!

5. Wedges

Who says you can’t get the best of both worlds? Speaking of the perfect combination of height and stability, how can we miss out wedges.

A pair of wedges would allow you to achieve your desired height without compromising the stability and comfort. The platform creates equal weight distribution, which means the elimination of trigger points that would be caused by other heels. Definitely a safe bet to last you throughout the day (yes, from day to night)!

7. Flats

Yes, we understand the pain of tall brides but who says heels is the only the way to go for a wedding?

Suffering for the next few days just for a day of beauty? I would say not worth.

Flats are gaining increasing popularity given the immeasurable amount of comfort it brings. Save yourself from all the upsetting moments due to aching feet and not being able to walk in ease for the next few days thanks to the extreme strain on your feet and leg muscles.
