Chie Mihara shoes for weddings and drooling

Can we talk about Chie Mihara?! She’s a shoe designer in Spain who crafts insanely stylish but also freakishly comfortable shoes. These shoes are more on the Fluevog level of cost — we’re talking $300 – $400. They’re also on the Fluevog level of quality. As much as we all love our pleather T.U.K.s or Iron Fists, they are not made to last forever. These shoes, however, are life-long investments that you buy for your wedding and wear forever.

Want walkable wedding heels? Try dance shoes!

It’s come up many times in the comments on my shoe posts, and an Offbeat Bride named Theresa emailed me to remind me again: if you want truly comfortable but also kinda fancy looking footwear for your wedding, you may want to try dance shoes. Because if you can dance in them, surely you can walk in them.

Kitten heels for a meow-meow-meow wedding day

Ok, ok. I don’t actually mean heels with kittens on them, but I totally could not resist using this shoe to kick off my post all about kitten heels. Mostly, this is going to be a post featuring shoes with short slender little heels. Some of them lean a bit chunkier than true kitten style, but I know that lots of you are worried about sinking into the grass, so I figured you’d forgive me for going a bit thicker. Some of these styles are from Modcloth, and you know how fast that shit sells out… so if you like it, SNAG IT!

I was so inspired by Anthony’s groom gear post yesterday that I decided to focus this shoe post on his footwear of choice: VANS!
