I thought about it, but didn't. Heels, no matter what size, will give you a better appearance 'posture wise'. I think the ballet slippers are great for the reception after all the dances are done.

Re: 'Day of Shoes'
I agree w/ soon2bcopswife and I'd feel too short... but if you want to be comfy then go for it!

I'm getting them...I know my feet are going to be killing me by the middle of the reception - I don't want to wreck my feet for my HM...if my shoes are comfy and I don't need to put on the slippers - thats cool too - but I rather have them just in case

Not crazy at all. I went on a mad search for ballroom dance shoes because I knew nothing would be that comfortable. Unfortunately, Capezio discontinued the PERFECT wedding shoe, and I couldn't get my size (but I do have a 7 1/2 wide that I haven't returned to Zappos yet).
I wound up finding a really comfy pair of open toed shoes, which I was dead set against, but comfort is what counts!!

Re: 'Day of Shoes'
When I went shoe shopping, I made sure I bought comfortable shoes. I didn't care that they weren't the most stylish shoes, I just wanted the most comfortable ones. And guess what, I never took them off. I played on the beach, on rocks and danced the whole night and have no complaints! Like a few of the girls above said, your posture changes and I'm short so I tend to look hunched over when the heels come off. If you can do it, keep the heels on!

Re: 'Day of Shoes'
I think ballet shoes for the reception are a great idea. It's better to be short than have your feet dirty from wearing no shoes :). It's all about comfort at that point. For pics and dances..heels would be best though :)
