I'm getting married in 6 weeks and on to my third pair of wedding shoes - all sent back. My problem is I can't do heels any more so I've been looking for sandle wedges with a heel no more than 3 cms. Also so my feet are quite swollen so will need a wide fit. I've tried all the usual suspects M and S, Debenhams, John Lewis and on line from America. All I want is white or Ivory with a bit of bling. I have bough some from Shuropody with the idea of sticking on some diamante but have decided they really are too old fogey - a step too far!!! Ha!. HELP!!!

I have similar problems with my feet but have recently bought Skechers Rumblers Hotshot.

Very comfortable and pretty.

Well have been out all afternoon without luck, ankle hurts now with all the walking and trying on of shoes. You have given me some more places to try thank you ladies so hopefully by the end of the week I will have found something. I also like the belt & braces idea of one pair for photo's and one pair for comfort .

Congratulations & best wishes for your wedding mumski.

I love Hotter shoes too. Agree with J52 that the Betsy in metallic are lovely.

I tried everywhere for comfortable sandals this year and in desperation, turned to Amazon. I bought two pairs of wedged sandals with elastic straps at the back. They are very pretty and have sparkly crystals. I bought a white pair and a black pair. They were very reasonable too. Might be worth a look. Congratulations, by the way.

Just got back from work and I'm bowled over by your good wishes and also by the creative and useful ideas you have had. A glass of prosecco is required while I sit down and enjoy going through all your great suggestions. Thank you so must everyone xxx

Try Artigiano , Kaleidoscope or Jones bookmaker. I can’t wear heels but have had kitten heels from them.
Congrats

Mumski, good luck with your search. I really don't need any shoes, at the moment, so why on earth have I 'wasted' ages looking at, and following the links to all the pretty shoes?

Fit Flop do very comfortable shoes. I too have problems with my feet, but recently bought a pair of Fit
Flops from John Lewis. They have quite a thick sole and 1.5 to 2 inch heels which I didn't think I'd be able to manage, but are very comfy. Do have a look on their website and/or go to a John Lewis store that does them. Good luck.
