25 Most Comfortable and Stylish Wedding Shoes, According to Podiatrists and Editors

Lobkova loves the look of these Betsey Johnson beauties. “Heeled round-toe Mary Janes, with a burst of color,” she notes. Suffice to say, if you’re the bride and you've been looking for something blue, now you have it.

Shopper Review: "I'll be wearing these shoes for my wedding in October and to say I'm obsessed is an understatement. They are so comfortable I'll be able to dance all night and the perfect little touch of Something Blue."

The Dream Pairs Women's Chunk Low Heel Pump Sandal is beloved by over 15,000 Amazon shoppers. The #1 Best Seller in Amazon's Women's Heeled Sandals category, these open-toe wedding shoes feature a secure buckle ankle strap, lightly padded insoles that form to your feet, and a modest three-inch heel. “A medium-height heel of three inches will help prevent ankle sprains and stress to the feet,” says podiatrist Dr. Geller, DPM, Chief Medical Officer at Kane Footwear. “Heels higher than that are notorious for causing Metatarsalgia, a condition which affects the balls of the feet creating soreness and achiness, making it difficult to walk.”

Shopper Review: "These shoes are beautiful, durable and comfy! I got them because I was in a wedding party in October and was on my feet for 13 hours. I am tempted to buy these shoes in more colors!"

Sizing: 5-12 | Colors: 32 | Materials: Satin and Suede | Heel Height: 3"

For a more casual wedding shoe — not to mention one that's versatile for wear beyond the wedding — check out the FRANKIE4 Kennedy Bone Weave Mules. “The Kennedy heel, a refined silhouette, features a two-inch heel and built-in arch and forefoot support via the LuxaLiteTM technology,” says Australian Qualified Podiatrist Caroline McCulloch, founder of FRANKIE4. “It is a chic, modern square-toed mule made for walking (and dancing)!”

Shopper Review: "So comfortable. Haven't stopped wearing these shoes from the day I purchased them!"

If you have sensitive heels, do yourself a favor and choose the popular Trary Tie Up Block Heels, which feature an open-back design. “Sometimes shoes become uncomfortable in the back of the foot where the bottom of the Achilles tendon meets the shoe,” Lobkova says. “This occurs from a prominent bump in the heel bone which rubs up against the back of the shoe causing the body to make a protective sac of fluid called a bursa. For this problem, an open-back sandal or a heel that is above one inch actually takes pressure off the bump.”

Shopper Review: "So the picture doesn’t really do these heels justice! They’re absolutely beautiful and they run true to size, the material is so soft and it’s very comfy too! Great quality for the price! Overall amazing heels and I highly recommend them!"

Here's another pair of stiletto wedding shoes for those who prefer the spike heel silhouette. The flared point makes for a smidge more stability, adding to the overall appeal of these striking 3D floral heels.

Surgical Podiatrist Dr. Nelya Lobkova, who is the founder of Step Up Footcare and KLAW's biomechanics consultant, recommends the Betsey Johnson Tina Low Block Heels. “These cute pearly sandals have a block heel and ankle strap,” she says, noting that both add to the overall stability of the shoe. “The strap provides extra stability in the ankle as well as the awareness that the ankle is supported, allowing you to wear shoes for longer and minimizing the chance of getting an ankle sprain.”

The Margaux NY Mary Janes are a favorite among shoppers and podiatrists alike. “These Mary Janes are so trendy right now,” Lobkova says. “My favorite feature is the five millimeters of foam padding inside the shoe that should make it comfortable to wear all night. And you can get them personalized for your wedding date.”

Shopper Review: "These shoes are exquisite. I sent them back because I am normally a narrow but because they are pointed I should have gotten a medium. Highly recommend!"

The Sam Edelman Daniella Heeled Sandal is a fan-favorite silhouette for formal events and weddings alike. Part of what makes them so great is that they’re made of leather, making them both durable and supportive. That’s why Vionic podiatrist Dr. Jacqueline Sutera, DPM, recommends wedding shoes made of materials like satin and leather, both which mold to the feet. “It's a good idea to break them in before the wedding by gently wearing them at home,” she adds. “This can minimize potential issues. By wearing them and breaking them in, you can also see if there are any problem areas that need attention before the big day.”

Shopper Review: "I wore these two nights in a row for a wedding weekend. I didn’t get a single blister… and I always get blisters. These shoes are quality for the money. My feet only started to hurt after like 8 hours of wearing and dancing for like 3 hours on day 2. Was worried the suede would get ruined but I stepped in grass/dirt/etc… and they honestly still look brand new. Big fan! Also, the packaging is wonderful … for shoes I won’t wear more than a few times a year … they will store well thanks to the quality packaging."

Sizing: 5-13 | Colors: 26 | Materials: Leather and Suede | Heel Height: 3.5"

Looking to ramp up the height? Reach for a pair of the Sam Edelman Yaro Dress Sandals. Just keep in mind that, since they don't feature a platform forefoot, you may start to feel your feet sooner than if they were more lifted.

Shopper Review: "So I bought these for a wedding and was able to keep them on for the majority of the night. The only reason that I took them off was because eventually, the weight on my feet became too much but that was literally about six hours into wearing these shoes. I love these shoes to go out [in]. I will buy another color soon."

Sizing: 4-12 | Colors: 40+ | Materials: Leather and Faux Leather | Heel Height: 4"

Embrace your Cinderella moment with the bedazzled Betsey Johnson Clark Pumps. Designed with a flared kitten heel and stretchy ankle strap, they're more comfortable than the buckled, taller heels that regularly strut down the aisle. Pro Tip: Go up a half size to make the pointed toes even more comfortable.

Shopper Review: "These shoes remind me of Cinderella and they are a comfortable height for girls who aren’t used to wearing heels, and great width if you have a wider toe box. They pair beautifully with my momma's veil, can’t wait to wear for my perfect day!!"

Sizing: 5-11 | Colors: 8 | Materials: Synthetic Leather | Heel Height: 2.5"

Some of the most comfortable wedding shoes are platform heels. “When we wear wedding shoes, the natural fat pad in the ball of the foot is displaced toward the toes, minimizing the shock absorption under the ball of the foot,” Lobkova says. “A platform in the shoe acts as a shock absorber to decrease the stress on the ball of the foot which can cause pain and soreness after a long night of wearing high heels.” Suffice to say, these chunky, retro-inspired wedding shoes are a shoo-in for your big day.

Shopper Review: "True to size! They're comfortable and easy to walk in."

Sizing: 6-11 | Colors: 2 | Materials: Synthetic | Heel Height: 4"

These Badgley Mischka Tess Ankle Strap Sandals are fit for a princess with their tulle bows, chrome insoles, and satin exterior. And since the bows are made of a mesh-like material, they're on the more flexible side, which adds to the comfort factor of the wedding shoes.
