24 Most Comfortable Wedding Shoes 2024
It may feel like finding a comfortable wedding heel is even more tedious than finding Mr. Right, but there are a few universal suggestions to guide you. “Look for pumps with a platform under the ball of the foot,” advises Dr. Nelya Lobkova, certified surgical podiatrist and founder of Step Up Footcare in New York City, “If you plan on buying a heel that’s above three inches, I would recommend going with a chunky heel.” Not only does a wider heel add stability, but it will also keep you from sinking into any outdoor terrain. Or, opt for something less towering, like a stylish kitten heel or a sparkly rhinestone ballet flat.
For every RSVP and every dress code, read on for the 24 best and most comfortable wedding shoes to shop now.
