Not everyone wants to spend a wedding in heels, and you should not have to. The right flats look just as elegant, keep you dancing to the end, and save you the pain. Here are the best flat shoes for weddings and how to choose.
Why flats win at weddings
Weddings are long, and you are on your feet for most of them. A well made flat lets you stay comfortable from the ceremony to the last dance, without a single wince.
Dressy leather sandals
A refined leather sandal or slide, especially in a metallic or neutral tone, is elegant enough for a wedding and cool enough for the weather.
Elegant mules and low heels
A sleek mule reads as smart and considered, and works beautifully with aso ebi and modern outfits alike. Keep the heel low and stable so you can dance in it.
Statement flats for the photos
If you want a little drama without the height, an embellished or bow-detailed flat or low heel gives you presence in the pictures while keeping your feet happy.
Fit and break-in tips
Buy the right size, choose a shaped footbed, and wear them in around the house before the day so the leather softens to your foot.
