Oh Bridal Shoes, How High Art Thou?
When I got married, I purposely chose a pair of 1.5 inch heels because my husband isn't that much *ahem* taller than me. If he was taller, I would gladly wear at least 3 inch heels.
Anybody who thinks 1.5" heel is sexier than 3" heels is crazy.
At the end of the night, though, I stroked my bridal sandals lovingly and was glad that I wore them. Even at very low heels, my feet were killing me. I could barely walk and was stiff all over my body. I was actually thinking about getting a full body massage that day because I really needed it.
Each woman has her own comfortable heel height. For me, it is 2". Other women may be comfortable with 3 or even 4 inches. After studying the effect of walking all day on high heels, I come up with these suggestions on how to wear high bridal shoes comfortably on your wedding day:
- If you're wearing high heels (more than 2" tall), choose the pair with heel or ankle straps, or both. The straps give the shoes more secure footing, which would allow you more comfort as well.
- Choose bridal shoes with wide front band because it holds your feet in and therefore gives more support.
- Add foam rubber or foot petals on the base of the shoes for more comfort.
- Bring a pair of white rubber sandals to change into whenever you have a chance to, for example, during a break on photo sessions. Give your feet a chance to relax.
- Don't wear higher heels that what you're accustomed to. For example, if you're used to 4" heels for every day wear, go down an inch. Wear 3" heels because you will be walking all day and you will get tired. Trust me.
