Hi everyone!
I'm in a bit of a pickle in what to do about shoes. The first problem is that i'm a size 9 and it seems most shoe shops seem to think the biggest sized foot is an 8, so normal shoe shopping never has a happy ending (I always end up with trainers). The next problem is that I have a high in-step and narrow feet, so anything that does not have a strap just falls off. And the last problem is I am rather fussy when it comes to shoes. I hate hate hate HATE high heels or anything that's characteristically "girly". Fashion is not my thing. I'm the type of girl who wears no make-up and just hangs around in jeans, a hoodie and a t-shrit. So frilly things, lace, bows and sparkles is not me! The other thing is I want to avoid heels as i'm 5 foot 10 inches tall which is an inch taller than my OH. If I wear any sort of heel at the wedding i'll be towering over him! No thank you! I've been searching high and low for shoes for my wedding that aren't over-budget (don't really want to be spending over £50 here) and that I will be comfortable in, both physically and mentally. Now i've come to a dead end and am in need of some help/advice. So does anyone know of anywhere that sells size 9 shoes for weddings at a reasonable price?
This will also be useful for my sister as she has the same problem. Size 9 feet, same views on fashion, but she's got wide feet. And she's my bridesmaid. But the other problem with her is finding shoes that will match her dress! She's wearing a dark purple (they called it "plum") dress in a chiffon type fabric and it has a little dimante starburst detail on the left side of the hip. Since I know it's going to be really hard to find a purple shoe that will match, any ideas what might go with the dark purple??
My MOH has the opposite problem in that she's got tiny narrow feet, and her dress is light purple (not lilac). She likes girly things so she'll probably have an easier time finding something she likes. But she's stuck for colour ideas too. So any thoughts on shoe colours that goes with light purple will be very much appreciated too!
Thanks so much in advance!
P.S: If it helps, my dress is a medieval style in ivory.
