The Most Comfortable Wedding Shoes You Can Absolutely Dance and Groove in All Night Long
Wearing six-inch stilettos to a wedding can be like a choose your own adventure-type of scenario. It’s truly a test of fate. You risk tripping and falling in front of a lot of people (especially at an outdoor wedding where there is uneven terrain…speaking from personal experience). If it’s a garden wedding, there's a high probability of sinking into the grass like quicksand. At best, you’ll just experience sore heels and a few blisters. Still, why put yourself through the torture when comfortable wedding shoes exist? Choosing the right gift (or, if you're the bride, the dress, the venue, the food, wedding makeup, and all the other last minute details) is more than stressful enough!
If you can’t resist wearing a sky-high heel, there are, of course, a few precautions you can take. There are some pretty good anti-blister heel balms out there, or you can pack some flat wedding shoes in your purse if you really want to be prepared and need to do a shoe change sometime during the event. But better yet, why not prevent any kind of footwear faux pas in the first place and just wear a comfortable shoe? After all, there’s no actual rule that says you have to wear ill-fitting heels, and one way to have a low-key wedding is to make sure you're not uncomfortable walking around trying to say hi to all your guests. There are plenty of options for looking stylish while also ensuring a pain-free experience—it’s true! That way, your feet will be ready for anything, whether you're getting ready for the first dance or closing out the party with an end-of-the-night conga line.

The most comfortable bridal shoes
![sarah flint](https://www.wellandgood.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/sarah-flint.png?w=1460)
Designer Sarah Flint couldn’t ever find a luxury pump that wasn’t genuinely comfortable—so she made her own, and in 2013, the designer shoe brand Sarah Flint was born. “As a woman, I understand the frustration of buying shoes that end up sitting in your closet. Because of this, I obsess over the details of fit and construction to make the most comfortable and durable shoes, never sacrificing an ounce of style,” she says on her website. These Wedding Perfect Pumps are proof of that: They’re designed with a wider toe box, extra padding, arch support, and a steel rod stiletto. White will go with your dress (if you’re going with white), but you can check out a bunch more styles on the site—there’s a whole wedding shoe section!

From the cushioned footbed to the sturdy column heel, this stylish shoe is a great pick (they can also act as your “something blue” if you’re following traditions).

Anyone can appreciate the simplicity of this classic Sam Edelman sandal, which comes in a wide range of color options. This tried-and-true sandal heel is one of those shoes everyone swears by for comfort and easy styling (hello, eleven beautiful colors!), and that’s because of its soft, wide strap and thick heel. This gold option (there’s also silver and white) is perfect for the bride looking for something shiny, but other colors (like pink or glitter linen) make this a great option for a wedding guest, too.
![city sandal](https://www.wellandgood.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/city-sandal.png?w=1460)
It may be called the City Sandal, but this heel is not ordinary (although you can easily transition it over to your everyday shoe collection—it really is that comfortable). Crafted with Italian nappa leather and designed with 5 mm of plush foam padding, these heels are so supportive, we’d almost mistake them for orthopedics if we weren’t looking in the mirror. And while the heel is 2.5 inches, it seems taller (thanks, chunky, deceptive heel!).

F Major made a more modern version of the iconic style, but are actually comfortable thanks to the foam-infused insole. You can also choose from Nappa leather or a patent leather style. Wear it to a wedding or to work, either way you’ll be able to keep them on your feet for hours without crying.
