How high were your heels and did they hurt? How much did you pay for them (and was it worth it)?

having a hard time judging between beauty and comfort. No one ever really sees your shoes but I think I walk taller and stand straighter in higher heels... but I also can't dance as long..... hmmm.

what did you girls do? Any advice?

Mine were about 2.5 inches...I thought they were so cute and they were maybe $60..but they gave me blisters from hell, although I wore them longer than I should have before changing into flip flops - and you'll be able to see my flip flops in my garter pic too, but I don't care - if I had left my shoes on any longer I think my feet might have started bleeding .

I didn't bother with more expensive shoes because all the ones I liked had a 3 inch heel or higher and I didn't want to tower over DH.

I no way was paying a lot for my bridal shoes. I don't spend a lot on shoes normally so I was certainly not doing it for my wedding. I think mine were about $60 from eth Bridal Boutique shoe store in Carle Place.

That's the one mistake I made. My shoes were too uncomfortable and my feet were killing me even for the next 2 days after the wedding.

I think my shoes were 2 1/4' high (I'm not used to wearing heels since I'm pretty tall myself). It was an open-toed sandal with a block heel.

They were comfortable up until the reception (after about 4 hours of being in them). I wish I brought a pair of flats or sneakers with me!

I was sooo not paying a lot for my wedding shoes. I got them at Nordstrom for $60 and loved them. They were made by Nina and a little bit on the 'not traditional' side, but I loved them and wore them all day/night! I loved them and want to dye them black now so I can wear them at some upcoming weddings
