Hi,
I am MOB in June and I'm struggling to find decent shoes or sandals that will be comfortable all day, are a wide fit, are elegant.
Not too high, not a thin heel as I would wobble all over.

Please can anyone suggest somewhere to look?

Thank you

I wore these ones at my daughter's wedding last year. I'm 67 and have wide feet. They were comfortable.

I got some beautiful, elegant, fairly small heeled sandals for my sons wedding from Hobbs, they were really comfy and I m not a wearer of heels usually

Fitflop do some nice sandals, some embellished, and they are oh so comfortable!

Lotus have some great choices with matching bags in nice soft leather.

Hotters, very comfortable and worth the price, they also have a sale on at the moment.

Talking of sandals , I was looking at M&S sandals online. Why have they started selling so many other,very expensive brands , like Dune, Hobbs. Starting around £90 £150 in other brands too, I just wanted a pair of M&S around £30 , I found some eventually but had to scroll through all the other branded makes. Same with their clothing , more designer brands less of M&S. rant over !!!

MOB really?
I couldn't walk across a dance floor in those!

It makes me uncomfortable just to see pointy toed or high heeled shoes.

The last wedding I went to I wore new shoes big mistake and ended the long night with blisters.

If your feet are comfortable it puts a smile on your face

I only wear Hotter shoes these days. I have their Tourist sandals in every colour. They are a bit clumpy but I can wear them for hours. They have just brought out a soft gold colour.

They have other styles that may be more suitable for a wedding.

Bon Marche have some nice comfy sandals. They are quite cheap but would be OK for an occasional wear. Not sure if they do wide fit though.

As others have said, maybe you could wear different shoes for the photos and then change to more comfy ones. I am sure that nobody would notice.

How about Seasalt Kimbra? They are not specifically wide fit but are very soft and comfortable.

Usually at the top you can ‘select by brand’ lilypops it gives you a drop down menu there is for colour etc, I just tick M&S and Per Una.

Hotter have a sale at the moment for anyone interested. Boots and sandals. I've just ordered some biker style boots for £45 instead of £129.
