I'm happy to report that there were no comfort issues with the shoes despite lots of walking, standing, and dancing! :D. Coating my feet with body glide really worked a treat! (And another hat tip to Angie for the tip!)</p> <p>Also pleased to note that there were loads of ladies in flats, low heels,and wedges for this black tie wedding! I'd say stilettos were in the minority! Really loving the current acceptance of comfy footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827915 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 17:48:08 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1827915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane, have fun at the wedding! If you have time, you might want to try a purse organizer (even a simple plastic baggie can work). It's amazing how much more you can fit in that way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827838 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 15:27:46 +0000 Diana 1827838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I think I'm going with the gold born sandals (the "backup pair") and the gold bag. Turns out my stuff won't fit in the burgundy one so that's not an option after all (I have to bring sunglasses, makeup, and body glide, among other things). It's supposed to be v. hot this afternoon, sigh. Church is not air conditioned, and I need to be in a few outdoors photos as well. Wish me luck. :P</p> <p>The born shoes are pretty comfy except I know they have one hot spot, where the band meets the top of my foot. Funny thing is these were actually my comfy dancing shoes at my own wedding, but my feet have gotten worse since then. :(. I hope body glide will help with that. I did also stash some comfy casual shoes in my husband's garment bag just in case! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827809 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 14:27:10 +0000 Angie 1827809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>LOVE </b>THE GOLD GLADIATORS. Soooo refined and pretty.&nbsp;</p> <p>But for the wedding - go with the back-up pair. Dressier. Burgundy clutch.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827723 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 10:05:33 +0000 Column 1827723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read somewhere that "matchy is dressy," so gold shoe of your choice with gold clutch. What a difference seeing the whole outfit makes! Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827704 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 08:07:58 +0000 rachylou 1827704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Firecracker said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827648 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 03:47:14 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1827648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ghillies and gold clutch! Seeing these extra photos, I will add that you look smashing in that dress, Diana. And I'm even more enamored with the way the ghillies play off of and bring out the detail on the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827464 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 22:37:06 +0000 Jenni NZ 1827464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gold clutch and ghillie sandals </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827302 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 17:56:10 +0000 JuniperGreen 1827302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the options and think you can't go wrong &nbsp;</p> <p>But I think my favorite *for the occasion* are the gold born wedges... only because as approprio mentions the lace up pair has so many contact points that they might create hot spots. &nbsp;For other occasions where dancing isn't a primary objective they are a definite yes, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827249 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 16:14:05 +0000 Sara L. 1827249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the ghillies.&nbsp; I think they look fairly dressy in the metallic color with the laces tied in the back (which is where I prefer to tie mine too).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827242 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 16:04:08 +0000 Scarlet 1827242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not helpful because with the new photos now I like the flat shoes with the red purse. However, somehow that beautiful dress is just asking for pumps to my eye. I hear you about the comfort though. You can suffer through discomfort for a few hours unless it's breaking your skin, and then the fun is over.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827222 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 15:18:54 +0000 Diana 1827222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>if I bring the gold clutch I can stash a pair of comfortable shoes in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827219 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 15:14:36 +0000 Christina F. 1827219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe I'm too much of a slave to foot comfort, but I saw wear the one of the more comfortable pairs. The people at the wedding won't have seen the dressier pair you opted not to wear as a comparison point :P&nbsp; You can still project dressiness via the impression your entire ensemble makes.</p> <p>People who want to dance at weddings end up kicking their shoes off anyway!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827210 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 14:56:06 +0000 Diana 1827210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do agree with most of you that the older pair is dressier looking. I'm a bit worried about comfort though, but there's no guarantee any of them will be truly comfy except the Naots. </p> <p>My clutch is going to be full of body glide and bandaids! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827209 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 14:53:58 +0000 Diana 1827209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok I took some better photos and updated them above. Also added some pictures with different clutches. </p> <p>And a (comfy!) wild card option, the Naot pixie wedges. I was planning on wearing them with the turquoise clutch and my allsaints lace lbd for rehearsal dinner tonight, but wondered how they'd look with the navy dress. My husband hates them though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827130 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 11:35:48 +0000 Scarlet 1827130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What bella said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827112 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 10:16:24 +0000 bella 1827112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute shoes but I like your backup option better for a wedding, more dressy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827102 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 09:25:48 +0000 Lucy 1827102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the new shoes, but I find the older ones dressier for a wedding.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827097 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 09:03:42 +0000 approprio 1827097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them a lot! But I hear you on the risk factor because that's a lot of straps. If you think you'll commit to them, wear them a few times around the house to see how they perform. </p> <p>When the day comes, douse your feet with talc/antiperspirant and be sure to pack a few sticking plasters. If you're in any doubt, bring a spare pair of shoes. By the time you hit the dance floor, you'll need comfort and everyone else will be too drunk to notice what's on your feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827075 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 05:08:42 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1827075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.softsurroundings.com/P/Crown_Jewels_Sandals/">https://www.softsurroundings.c.....s_Sandals/</a> </p> Dude, I was going to post these, refrained because they were so different from your request. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827046 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 03:06:41 +0000 Sal 1827046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends on the wedding. &nbsp;For most of the weddings I have been to these would be perfect....I really like them. &nbsp; Unless it is particularly dressy or conservative I would say yes, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827044 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 02:49:10 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1827044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, your existing ones are sleeker looking, but I actually like the way the new ones kind of play with the lacey pattern/texture in the dress. Given that your current pair isn't that comfortable, I would go with these new ones over the old ones, assuming they turn out to be more comfortable. The difference in dressiness, to my eye, is not that great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827022 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 01:48:35 +0000 Jenni NZ 1827022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both Diana. I REALLY like the new ghillie wedges and they look so pretty with your painted toenails. I would definitely wear those for a summer wedding here in NZ. I like the old ones too but not with as much love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1827015 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 01:38:06 +0000 Elle 1827015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your current pair looks dressier to me. &nbsp;I like the new ones but they might be too casual for a wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1826999 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 01:13:21 +0000 Echo 1826999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pair you already own looks far more dressy than these sandals. I love the sandals, and they are cute shoes, but for a dressier occasion, I'd still go with the ones you already own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1826986 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 00:56:45 +0000 Thistle 1826986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them quite a bit, but I'm a sucker for gold sandals.</p> <p>In my neck of the woods, they would be perfect for weddings. But I live in the Midwest, and Boston is more formal, I think.</p> <p>Still, in my book, the wedge makes them dressy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1826966 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 00:23:40 +0000 Tanya 1826966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like them, I think the metallic color takes them out of "too casual" territory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-gold-shoe-option-for-the-wedding#post-1826959 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 23:57:43 +0000 Diana 1826959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So the two pairs of gold block heel shoes I ordered were both busts. Not comfy and the closed toe pair looked oddly frumpy. </p> <p>These ghillie wedges arrived today and might be an option. They seem reasonably comfortable although one never can really tell with shoes until it's too late. Do you think the laces and low wedge make them too casual? I've tied them in back here as it seemed dressier that way. </p> <p>ETA: NEW PHOTOS. Also added photos of some clutches. They uploaded out of order so the ghillie wedges are with the red clutch and the gold born wedges are with the gold clutch. Also added a wild card option - my Naot pixie wedges. They are more casual but def the most comfortable of the bunch. I'd carry the turquoise clutch with these as it has silver hardware. My husband hates these though. </p>
