Ladies...I need shoe advice.

Other than my walking/running shoes, all my shoes are flip-flops and sandals. I live in them year round and have as long as I can remember. I have never had a burning desire to wear heels, mostly because I always felt I walked like a duck in them, especially when I weighed nearly 400lbs.

I have a family wedding to attend next month and I just got myself a swanky dress for it and I am now trying to find a pair of shoes, maybe leaning towards something with a bit of a heel. Its going to be a long day with family photos and dancing at the reception, so I want something really comfortable, but also something pretty.

Any ladies out there, especially plus size, have any suggestions on maybe a brand that is more comfortable. Pumps vs wedges?

Thanks!

    Wedges. Definitely go with wedges.

    I always just buy the cutest, cheapest shoes and don't pay much attention to brand or comfort, so I can't offer much advice other than that, but wedges are going to be the most comfortable, especially if you're not used to wearing heels.

    go shoe shopping at the end of the day when your feet are tired and sore and find wedges that feel good on your feet. I can walk/run in wedges all day long. Love them.

    Wedges are a lot more comfortable and I think more appropriate for a summer wedding. You don't want to sink into grass! Land's end has some really cute wedge espadrilles, and I want to mention I have never gotten more compliments on a pair of shoes than the hush puppies renown floral wedges--good if you have a solid color dress.

    Its an evening wedding and my dress is black.

    I knew there was a reason I don't do this girly dress up thing very often :tongue:

    I'm a shoe girl. Wedges are a good choice and you can find them for dressy occasions, too. You can also do a thicker/lower heel which is very easy to walk in and dance in, too. I'm a 6 inch heel kind of girl, but when I 1st started wearing heels wedges were the best bet for comfort and stability. :)
