My wedding day shoes!

My wedding day shoes!

Like many of you, I had a hard time deciding what to get. cute flat vs heels? Style or comfort? White or color? So many dilemns...Finally, I told myself I wanted heels. You just walk differently (more tall, more regal) when you have them on.

my criteria for shoes were :
1) I really wanted them to be comfortable. I don't want to end up changing into flats (unless I'm already wearing flats in the first place). So the best I could do was 3 inches max.

2) I wanted to use the shoe again. Add it to my wardrobe. which brings me to the idea that I didn't want it to be white.

3) (optional) I also wanted them to be dye-able, particularly in orange.


I looked at Angela Nunan. I even tried them on at a store in Manhattan. They really really are comfy. Only problem, I wasn't into the limited styles

Also looked at myglassslipper.com. Great selection, especially dyeable options.

Finally I stumbled upon Hey Lady Shoes
https://www.shopheylady.com/index.php

Their website is super cute and they have nice vintage/funky shoes that are meant to be comfortable for weddings. Their prices range 200-300s, which I can deal with (with a sale)

I chose Twinkletoes which came in satin white. I went to a trusted shoe cobbler and had it dyed yesterday

Here are the results!

Congrats!

Are they comfy? How tall are they? Those are really nice but I need an ankle strap.

Who's your cobbler that dyed your shoes?

My angela nuran's are dyeable white but I want to get them dyed ivory like my dress. If I send them out to Angela it'll be like ~$60 with shipping back and forth. Nuran recommends only them to dye the shoes as the bottoms and insides are suede but if I can find an affordable cobbler that knows what they're doing instead I'd do that!

They are comfortable! I had the option of 3 or 4inches. I went with the 3 inches. They also recommend you to go a size up ( I picked a size 9, I'm a regular 8.5)

The lining of the shoe is super padded, reminds of the Cole Haan shoes. I'm wearing them right now, feels slightly tight near the toes but it's manageable.

As for shoe cobbler I did a search and found this guy with great reviews: Cobbler express shoe repair (222 E 41st). The guy there is very efficient. He dyed my shoes in one day, lots of color options.
