For Brides

What To Consider When Picking Bridal Shoes

1. Style, Affordability and Versatility

The good thing about shopping on a budget at Spendless is the variety available. The women’s collection includes Heels (Block, high, low, and mules); Flats (Sandals, Loafers, ballet flats); wedges; boots; and sneakers that practically cover every staple in a bride’s (or bridesmaid’s) day-to-night schedule.

For weddings, Spendless has curated a bridal shoes category in white, metallic, silver, gold, rose gold, and beige, often with shiny or metallic finishes that suit formal wear.

So, whether you are after something classy or something comfortable enough to dance in all night, Spendless gives you options that suit different styles, dress codes, budgets, and comfort levels.

1. Venue: Match Your Shoe to the Setting.

• Your wedding venue is a key factor when selecting the right shoes. For outdoor weddings (lawn, garden, sand), a thin stiletto might sink or wobble on uneven ground. In these situations, wedges, block heels, or low heels that provide stability and lessen the chance of stumbling are worth considering.
• For indoor ceremonies (churches, ballrooms, formal venues with polished floors), you get a bit more flexibility to wear high heels or stilettos, as the ground is sturdy.
• For mixed-day events such as an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception, wearing two pairs of shoes can be a smart choice. Start with a stable heel like Kiko for the ceremony, then swap into a more elegant heel like Copal or a comfy flat like Lapis for the reception, especially if you plan on dancing.

1. Comfort & Wearability

Your wedding day may be packed with a day full of activities, and between walking down the aisle, photos, mingling, and dancing, you will spend hours standing and on the move. If the shoes you are wearing are uncomfortable, every step becomes a struggle. That is why you should prioritise comfort!

 

For Grooms

With the evolution of men’s fashion, wedding footwear for men now offers more supportive and stylish choices. Grooms often appreciate the added height of a well-designed shoe that, in turn, offers comfort and elegance.

Spendless offers a curated selection of men’s dress shoes in timeless shades like black, tan, and brown, often finished with sleek, polished detailing suited to formal occasions.

The range of footwear covers everything from classic dress shoes (lace-up and slip-on) to modern sneakers and smart-casual styles, accommodating both the ceremony and the reception.

Dress shoes remain a timeless favourite. Bernard, one of the men’s dress shoes, offers a sleek design and a polished finish with cushioned support, perfect for weddings and formal occasions.

For a contemporary feel, sneakers are becoming a popular option, especially alongside blue or grey suits or for wedding receptions and after-parties.

Whether you’re after a classic look for your wedding or something comfortable enough for an all-night afterparty, Spendless offers options that cater to different styles, dress codes, budgets, and comfort levels, making it easy to find the right fit for your special day.

 

Best Practices:

• Heel height for women is important, especially if you are not used to heels. Consider flats or low heels that feel natural to you. They can still look elegant enough for brides, especially in satin, metallic or classic colours.
• Heel height is also worth considering when thinking about height differences between you and your partner. If you are taller, low heels or flats can help you feel balanced and comfortable while still looking elegant. When your partner is taller, slightly higher heels can be a great option, provided they feel supportive and easy to wear.

The key is choosing a heel height that feels natural to you and suits your comfort level. Wedding shoes should enhance your confidence rather than distract from it, allowing you to move freely, stand comfortably and enjoy every moment without worrying about your feet or your height.

• Ones with padded insoles and soft cushioning to relieve pressure on the ankles and balls of the feet. Alternatively, consider low heels (1-3 inches), as these offer a perfect balance of elegance without compromising on comfort.
• Break in your shoes in advance. Do not wear shoes for the first time on the day of the wedding. Practise walking, standing or even dancing with them at home and for dance rehearsals to avoid blisters and discomfort later. Try them with stockings too, so you know how they feel with what you will wear on the day, as shoes can fit differently with tights than with bare feet.

• Heel type matters too: block heels or wedges tend to be more stable, while stilettos or slim heels offer classic, dramatic lines but with less practicality. Similarly, test your shoes on different surfaces. Try walking on carpet, hardwood floors, and concrete, and, if possible, on ground like your venue (grass, stone, or sand). This helps you know if the heel will be stable before the wedding.
• Consider a backup pair. Even if you love your heels, being paired with comfortable flats or low heels for photos, dancing, or the night goes a long way. This prevents you from becoming exhausted and from having sore feet by the end of the evening.
• It is also important to choose shoes that match the length of the gown. If your dress is long and flows to the ground, high heels can make it hard to move through the venue and may cause you to trip or drag your hem. In such a scenario, consider low- or mid-heels for practicality and comfort.
