A few weeks ago on the Offbeat Bride Tribe, there was a LOT of talk about these sweet-ass super-affordable heels, with one member gushing “They're actually comfortable… AMAZING.” Added bonus? They're now on sale for $50!”
Inspired by these purple-strapped beauties, I decided to dive head-first into Modcloth in search of other purple shoes for you brides who are going the royal-hued route for your wedding feet.

OMG! Where were these lovelies 6 months ago?! I hunted high and low for purple shoes! *sniffle* ~ I never did find any for my wedding, so I went bare foot!
Barefoot is pretty badass though!
Awwww, if only I was going to wear purple shoes instead of spring-green-sour-apple shoes! You always have great shoe picks, any chance you can do a Bright shoe post? I know you did a green shoes, but most of those were closer to emerald 🙂
Samatha, I just saw this posting and wanted to let you know I hand paint shoes. I will do any color you want. Check out my etsy shop.

I really, really considered the crocs for my “change into a flat after the ceremony” option, but was scared — what if my cute meter was off, and they were really hideous? Thank you OBB for validating my fashion choices.
Oh my gosh! Going shoe shopping tomorrow for purple shoes. Can not wait to wear something different 😀
How many shoe posts am I going to be a part of? I’ve now written one and inspired another! 😛
Good question — when are you submitting your next shoe guest post!?
ahhh… starting the day off with yummy shoe porn!
I am looking for purple boots but some of these are really cute!
Purple boots are HARD. I looked for some last winter and had a hell of a time. There are these, which come in purple:
Oh wow, I hadn’t seen those yet. They’re awesome! Thanks!
I got some on Ebay awhile back. They are super platform shoes though, so only if you are comfortable walking around in 6-inchers!

More purple boots! http://www.amazon.com/FRYE-Womens-Carson-Shortie-77031-Violet/dp/B00352KGZE/ref=sr_1_675?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1334520314&sr=1-675
these are pretty pricey, but it seems that good purple boots are hard to come by. http://couture.zappos.com/kate-spade-new-york-darya-eggplant-suede
In the local dialect of my birthplace (Orkney Islands, Scotland), Salvatore Ferragamo’s lovely Bruck shoes translate into “rubbish” or “garbage”. A local phrase is “dinna chuck bruck” aka “don’t throw garbage”. Sorry, I know it’s off-topic as they are lovely shoes but it has made me giggle 🙂
Aww…no more size 7s in the Acrylicana shoes. I was so excited, too.
check appareldynasty.com they’re available in 5-10 there.
Those lovely doodley purple fluevogs are on layaway at the Seattle shop for me RIGHT NOW. I am so excited. And I’m also a little afraid for my bank account to have learned that you can do layaway on fluevogs.
Here are the shoes I used in my wedding:
– they’re faux leather, so vegan to boot!
I got my purple on at my wedding. Photog’s blog here: http://idovancouver.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
iWant the top left and definitely the peacock magicalness.
I love purple & shoes, so putting them together? Hello amazingness!
I literally just bought the last pair of the mary jane kitten heels in red. I’ve been eyeing them for two months and there was a run on them, coincidentally enough, right after this post went live… I had to throw my indecision to the wind, because apparently their popularity just blew up. I was half-tempted to ask the zappos lady how the other shoes on this list were doing, after the blitz of Ariel’s recommendation!
So apparently there is a void in my life which can only be filled by the perfect purple pumps. Who knew? Ariel, apparently.
Toms came out with purple glitters this year! I definitely bought a pair to wear under my dress 🙂
The little Gabriella Roche maryjanes with the kitten heels are my shoes. Gosh, I feel so Offbeat now, thanks for the spotlight!
wow, itz nice to see PUMPS instead of super high heels and super flats….absolutely gorgeous. 🙂
oooo thanks!! I want purple shoes for my wedding but since my main focus is skulls I decided to make shoes how I want and the way I want myself, instead of getting platform shoes that I probably couldnt even stand in…they are still a work in progress and so far I am loving them but at least it’s comforting to know that if I totally mess up I have options to buy if so I will get the irregular choice purple shoes!
I needed this post months ago!
At the very least, the John Fluevog’s featured are the ones I bought while on a trip to Seattle. And they are PERFECT

LOVE LOVE LOVE Acrylicana! I’ve worn the shit out of my first pair and I still can’t say goodbye to them! They have been dubbed my “Happy Shoes” by my fiance and they make us both smile every time I put them on! Worth every penny!
LOVE purple. These are gorg!
I couldn’t find affordable purple shoes anywhere for my wedding. I ended up buying a cheap pair of white wedges from payless and then sewed on a funky purple ribbon I found at a craft store. They turned out awesomecool!
🙁 I’ve been searching for purple flats, but those aren’t available anymore. I’ve bought a pair, but they just don’t feel right any more. Why must it be so difficult to find shoes that are purple, flat, wide, size 11, and NOT LAME or redic expensive?!
