How to Pick Your Wedding Ladies Shoes

Once upon a time, women had two choices for wedding shoes: white silk or white satin. Times have changed, and while you might still want to pick a traditional style, there is a large range of exciting options. But how do you find out which to pick?

Set a Budget

This might be boring, but the fact is that you will have to set a budget. Wedding shoes come in all prices and until you have a limit on how much you are willing to spend, choosing a pair will be impossible. When you set your budget, factor in how much you have available to spend in total, and how important your shoes are to you. Also compare the amount to how much you will spend on your wedding dress.

Buy Your Wedding Dress

When it comes to style, your wedding dress is the all important item. When you have chosen one, you can pick the shoes along with the rest of your accessories. Pick ladies shoes that enhance the look you are going for!

Remember the Overall Style of Your Wedding

The appropriate wedding dress and wedding shoes will depend on the style and feel of the wedding. If you are arranging a very traditional and formal wedding, you want a dress that fits that theme, then you would probably want traditional wedding shoes, such as white silk or satin. However, if you are arranging a beach wedding, maybe you could opt for something more casual, such as a classy pair of white, rhinestone sandals.

Be Conscious of Your Surroundings

In what environment will the wedding be held? If it is a winter wedding you might want to avoid sandals, freezing your feet will be uncomfortable and take away part of the enjoyment. Another consideration could be white satin shoes that will easily stain, if you are walking across a grass lawn.

Get Comfortable Shoes

Your wedding day is supposed to be the most special day of your life. You certainly want to look beautiful, but you don’t want to spend the day in pain. Finding beautiful shoes that are comfortable is possible. Even high heel shoes can be comfortable if you find the right pair. Don’t feel bad about dismissing shoes because they are uncomfortable, it is a very valid reason. It is your day, enjoy it!

Stylish, Practical, and Comfortable

Finding the right pair of ladies wedding shoes might not be easy. You have to factor in a lot of considerations. However, when the day comes around, it will all be worth it. Walking down the aisle in a beautiful dress with a fabulous pair of wedding shoes is, after all, every girls dream!

High Heel Shoes And Botox

If you are a high heel junkie like myself then you’ve had the occasional foot pain. Luckily, I have never had any severe pain and so far my high heel shoes have not caused me any long term significant issues. However, the latest trend that I am reading about is that for those women who do have serious foot pain due to wearing high heels, they are resorting to botox in the foot.  My first thought was, really? But as it turns out there is a condition called stilettotarsal which stems from wearing high heels for many years. When you walk around in heels all day you put a lot of pressure on the ball of your foot which leads to pain in the soft tissue. The nerves and soft tissue in that area are actually damaged from all the pressure applied over time which makes that area very sensitive. To help alleviate this pain botox is injected into the ball of the foot and it numbs the nerves to make walking bearable. So far this seems to be a great solution but it’s important to realize that this is only a temporary fix and will not cure the stilettotarsal condition.

I will never quit wearing high heel shoes. Not unless it causes some life threatening condition or the Dr’s tell me I won’t be able to walk anymore. If you do choose to continually wear high heel shoes you should really be diligent about balancing your shoe wearing with some flats around the house or for those trips to the grocery store. Try and vary the size of the heels you wear to help reduce the amount of daily pressure that is applied to the ball of your foot. The higher the heel, the higher the pressure.
