Wedding season is in full swing. Whether you’re the blushing bride, mother, bridesmaid, or a guest, you've likely already got the perfect dress, and you've stocked up on waterproof mascara because ceremonies always make you teary-eyed. Now you just need the most comfortable wedding shoes that won't leave you wishing you could ditch your footwear altogether—though we always recommend having a few bandages stashed in your clutch to help alleviate any blisters. Pu Sandals
The ideal pair of party shoes will have a cushy footbed and plenty of arch support. Of course, lower heel heights tend to be more walkable, as are wedges, block heels, and even platforms, which all provide more stability and balance than skinny stilettos (although we did find a few podiatrist-approved pairs of the latter). Regardless of what you choose, remember these Oprah Daily editor-approved tips: Try to break in new shoes before wearing them for the big event. And when in doubt regarding color, metallics go with everything!
From strappy sandals to platform heels and embellished flats that sparkle, here is a selection of the most comfortable wedding shoes for a long, celebratory night of dancing.
