A pair of evening shoes?

Dressy shoes I mean. ones you wouldnt wear every day like pumps for work.

I never have spent more than $100 dollars on footwear and that was for a pair of knee high boots. I am coupon/sale queen but for my SIL's wedding i cannot find dress shoes I like (that are comfortable) for under 80 bucks.

I have flat feet so i tend to like platforms because they offer better arch support and sturdier heels generally but everythign I LOVE is EXPENSIVE!

I dont wnat to spend a fortune because chances are I will wear them at most 2x-4x a year depending on the events we have. We're not fancy people-more diner folk lol.

Itend to buy clothing in all the same colors so the shoes will probably match whatever I own forever but is it worth buying expensive shoes if they're not worn often?

I also have flat feet and get horrible blisters so I have decided that if the shoes are comfortable, I will spend whatever. I have bought a few pairs of the Cole Haan shoes with Nike Air in them for around $300.
