My continued shoe dilema (with pics)

Sorry to keep posting about this but it is so frustrating. I would appreciate any advice

So I ordered those 5 pairs of shoes...of the bunch, these are the only ones with a small amount of potential, but they are still not all that comfy. I could probably tough it out for the few hours I'd be in them but I will most likely not wear them again. ($65)



These are the only wedding shoes I've tried on so far that are comfortable, but they are low and I dont really love them ($40)



Then there are my dance shoes which I love love love...they feel like slippers. But they are twice as much as the first pair. Is it worth it to get a second pair to wear outdoors? Are they cute enough/wearable for future occasions? I would get a slightly higher and slimmer heel (they let you pick). I got them wider on this pair for dancing. ($135)



Or do I keep shopping?

So thats where I am and thoroughly confused. Sorry so long, if you made it all the way through I really appreciate it! Thanks girls!

I've worn ballroom shoes before and IMHO I think it's totally worth it! They are SO comfortable.

Then again, if you think you'll NEVER wear them again, I might just tough out a cheaper pair.

I'm aware that I have not answered your question Sorry!

Basically, if you can afford it and can deal with not wearing them again, you'll be the most comfortable in the ballroom shoes.

I say you keep looking, if none are really hitting the mark yet since you have time time:)

Are you looking for a really low heel or are you opened to a higher heel?

if the ballroom shoes are super comfy, i would get another pair. $135 isn't terrible for a pair of shoes anyway.

can they be dyed? if so, you could probably dye them black afterward so you have a better chance of wearing them again.

definitely go with the comfortable pair, you've got to wear them all day!

I would prefer a higher heel since I am short...I just have annoying feet and want to be comfortable and not be in pain by the time the reception comes along.

Thanks for the advice so far! Its true..its not that bad, though at this point I will be buying 2 pairs....but I will definitely wear the pair that is designated for dancing in the future. I dont think they are dye-able though, theyre leather, not satin. What do you think the chances are of being able to wear white shoes with a rhinestone buckle again? Cause if I could pull it off I would totally love to keep wearing them....

I love colorifics they are usually super comfortable. I bought a pair that was 2 inch heel for the wedding, I would have loved to bought a higher heel but i did not want to take my shoes off at all and my feet always start to bother me.

Crahsing!
I am not a shoe person - almost every pair I ever owned hurt me in 1 way or another but I wore the coloriffics (the 1st picture) and they were absolutely comfy. I brought a pair of flip flops with me that I never had to change into. I loved them. I so recommened them!!

i mean you could totally wear white shoes again, most likely in the summer...and honestly, even if you don't - isn't it worth $135 to be comfortable on your wedding day?

Have you thought of maybe getting the gel inserts for a higher pair?...that's what I'm going to do bc my shoes are high but I love them

Yeah, I could and would if that becomes the problem, thanks for the suggestion! But its less the height that bothers me and more the toes, either pressing on the sides or the straps digging in to the top of my foot

I think I'm going to wear the coloriffics around the apartment for the week (FH is going to think I'm crazy) since they have so many positive recommendations, but if I'm still not feeling it I'll go for the ballroom shoes!

Thanks girls!
