Whether you are the lucky bride or one of the bride maids, it is sometimes difficult and tricky to find the right wedding shoes and the right sized wedding shoes for your special occasion. Here are some easy and simple tips that will help you with your shoe task.

Seven Tips To Finding Right Shoes and The Right Size:

1. Never wait until the last minute. Your shoes might need to be ordered for you in your size. Shoes needed for summer weddings might become back ordered with the manufacturer due to demand.

2. Go later in the day. Your feet sometimes swell slightly throughout the day, so going later in the day will ensure your shoes fit when your feet are at their widest.

3. Ask salespeople in a specialty shoe shop for help. Give them the size you normally wear, and listen to any of their suggestions. They are the experts.

4. Always try on the shoes you want, as sizes are not standard and each shoe style is made differently, which will affect sizing. If you cannot try them on in the store, go to the designer’s website and measure your foot on a size chart.

5. Do not by the wrong size because you think the shoes will stretch out or your feet will swell. If they are too big or too small, you will be uncomfortable, or your feet will hurt.

6. Always try both shoes on. Each foot is slightly different, so it is vital to feel them on both feet.

7. Have fun. Shoes should be creative and fabulous.

In regards to specialty sizing, if you are like many women, you may have feet that have a size that is hard to find. Feet that are sizes 4, 11, 12, 13, or really narrow, can be very hard to find. You might even have to have your shoes specially ordered or custom made, to get a proper and comfortable fit. A specialist shoe shop will offer a foot measuring service. Sometimes there are even stores that cater to people with narrow or wide feet. In fact, we have specialty wedding shoe sizes right here in our bridal shoe shop!

There are also many companies who have an online service that can send you a do-it-yourself foot measuring kit. You just draw around your foot and send it in for measuring, or they will send you a guide to tell how narrow or wide your feet are and what size they are.

Once you know exactly what width your feet are, then you can start finding the perfect size shoes for you. It is always a good idea to try on a lot of different shoes, this way you will find the perfect ones.
