Best shoes for a ballgown?

The easiest option is to buy beautiful high-heeled shoes for the ceremonial part and ask the photographer to take a photo at this time; that is what I did when my wedding was. After all the solemn congratulations, the party started, and I just changed into tennis shoes with https://www.tennisshoez.com , which were in my friend's purse. I love dancing and having fun, and that's why it was important for me to be able to change my shoes and continue the party. I think this is a way out for your situation as well.

I really wanted to get nicer shoes mostly for the photos. So I’ll be wearing a pair of Badgley Mishka heels but knowing myself and my bad luck with high heels I will most likely enlist a bridesmaid to bring a pair of socks and sneakers I can change into because I am bustin it down on the dancefloor 😂

I'm wearing booties with mine, while my dress is technically a ballgown it's definitely less full then some of them out there.

When I tried it on in store I felt like I was kicking layers of tule out from under me but when I tired it on after picking it up it didn't at all and I haven't even had it hemmed yet!

I'd go for comfort since no one will see them. You can have sparkly if you want. You can make then your something blue (if you're doing that). I've seen if the sparkly shoes have prongs you should cover them in clear nail polish so they don't get caught in you dress and rip or cause a run in it.

If people can't see them wear whatever you'll be most comfortable in. I bought sparkle Keds so I can walk on cobblestones and dance all night long. Plus our venue has a huge staircase and I'm too clumsy to do that in heels when I can't see my own feet!


Just make sure you decide before getting your dress hemmed.

Are people going to see your shoes? i have a ball gown too and it covers my whole foot so no one will see anything i can wear running shoes and no one would know ahha. check call it spring they have a lot of silver and white sparklie flats

For mine I wore some sneakers for the ceremony and then changed into a peep toe heel and it looked fine - mostly because you can't see the shoes under a ballgown!! lol I would just say that the heel area is best left closed and not a sling/flip flop to avoid what you are talking about.

Congratulations on your engagement and finding your dress! My wedding dress was an a-line ballgown (so not as big as yours may be, but it had 4-5 layers.) Anyway, I went with 2.5-3 inch heels. They were thick enough that they were easy to walk in and they had one strap (around the ankle.) I definitely recommend a thicker heel for balance and comfort, and closed toe seemed to work out well for me as I didn't have to worry about my feet moving around.
