need opinions on my shoes - please help!

So... I ordered my dress today! I'm so happy with it.

However, now I need to find shoes - because of the lace of the dress, they have it special made to your height, because it really can't be hemmed or shortened, so the lady at the store said I have a few weeks to find shoes and get measured before the factory starts calling her and harrassing her for the measurements.

The problem is that I have a lot of trouble finding shoes because I have very difficult feet - I'm a narrow size 10, which basically just doesn't exist in shoes.

So, I went today to DSW and had no luck, and then to Craft Shoes in Commack, where I tried on about 20 pairs of shoes and found maybe 1 that might work, and bought them to take them home and wear them around the house a little to see how they feel.
Problem is, I'm not sure if they really go with my dress... I feel like maybe they are different styles, you know?
So, what do you think... do these shoes work with this dress?

Also, just for fun, I found these slippers to change into for the reception. Aren't they adorable?

thanks ladies!

I think they go.. your dress is white, as long as the shoes are white I think you are fine. The slippers are cute!

Re: need opinions on my shoes - please help!

there are different shades of white. u dont want your shoes or your dress to look 'dirty'

but if they're the exact same shade of white, then there's no need to dye them.

thank you so much!

I got the slippers at Craft Shoes in Commack. I did a search for 'just married slippers' on google though, and found them online, so I'd give that a try if you can't make it to Commack.
