I've done some more searching for shoes. I think I'm closer to deciding what I want than I was a few months ago. I am certain that I will order from Amazon. I'm a Prime member, so I get free 2-day shipping. Also, I get free returns.
That's a big deal for me. I can't seem to find any shoes in stores that I like but I'm terrified of buying shoes online (it's difficult for me to find shoes that fit!). So, since I can return things to Amazon for free if they don't fit, it eases my mind. Especially since I know that Amazon returns are super easy.
Anyway, that certainly narrowed my search (thankfully!). I limited my Amazon search to prime eligible, navy colored shoes made of man-made materials (no leather -- they have to be animal friendly). That still left a whole lot of options! Here are a few of my favorites:

These are probably my least favorite. They are cute, but I think I want something a little more feminine. The rivets might be a little too much for me. However, they are only $21.99 -- great deal!

These are super cute and fun looking. However, they have a 5 inch heel. That almost surely spells disaster for my walk down the aisle. ;) These are a fantastic deal at $16.00 a pair (wow!) but I'm thinking they're probably not right for me.

These are a lot like what I pictured. However, I'm concerned about the color. They say that they're navy, but if they are true to the color on my computer screen, they seem to be more royal blue... not what I want. These are a little more expensive, but still very reasonable at $34.50 a pair. These are definitely in the running.

These shoes are a little plain, but if I got these, I would jazz them up a bit with a pearl brooch (I plan to wear pearls, have a pearl tiara, and also have my BMs wear pearls!) on each shoe. These shoes are a little more expensive at $34.99. The brooches I found are on eBay for $2.85 a piece. So, the shoes still wouldn't be that expensive. These are also in the running!

These are really cute. These are something that I would normally wear (when I actually wear heels). I'm trying to decide if that is a good thing or not. I'm not sure if it's a good thing because I would be comfortable or if it's a bad thing because I should step outside the box for my wedding shoes. These shoes are great at $27.60 a pair.

I really like these shoes. Again, they're similar to something I would normally wear, but they've also got some cute, feminine touches (the bow!). They've also got just a little bit of bling. The heels are only 2 1/2 inches, too, so they shouldn't be too uncomfortable! And, these puppies are a steal at $21.38.
*Sigh* So many options. And all so cute. Thoughts?
Hi Tara, You've done a nice job on your blog here! It's exciting to read all about your DIY projects, your planning for the wedding, etc!
ReplyDeleteI love the navy shoes with the brooch, very classic style, and the pearls add a beautiful touch. The heel looks a little bit wider so it would help walking around the park & on the grassy areas (especially when it comes to photo time)
Can't find shoes in my size (10W or 11W depending on style), so I hope you don't mind that I'm "wrapping & decorating" a shoebox and I'll be clomping around decked out as such! *laughing*

Thanks, Kim!
ReplyDeleteOne of my biggest concerns was walking on the grass. I almost looked for wedges but I couldn't get myself to do it. I just don't like the look of them as well.
Now I can't get the image of you walking around the wedding with shoeboxes on your feet! I hope that you will find an alternative, but if not, at least we will have some very interesting photos!
... wedgies.. *shudder*.. sounds good you nixed that idea!
ReplyDeleteWell, I CAN glue some fluffy fabric on the box and make some bunny ears if that helps? Heck, just for you and Philip, I'll grab some navy & ivory fabrics too!
