Shoe help, please!

[jimbug]

Hi ladies (and gentlemen)...

I am going to be wearing the outfit pictured below for one of our formal nights, and I can't find any shoes for the life of me! I'm thinking silver, rather than black, and I hate the traditional pumps they have paired with it in the picture. Also, I have sort of wide feet and the regular width strappy sandals usually don't work for me. Any suggestions?? Thanks!

 

Here's the URL for the outfit:

It wouldn't let me upload it because the dimensions were wrong. Hope the link works!

Neat outfit, I really like it, if you don't want boring pumps maybe look for some fancy rhinestone shoe clips, they sell tons on e-bay. Then you would have sparklies on the bottom as well as the top of your outfit. I suggest looking on e-bay for ideas for shoes anyway, even if you are not comfortable buying them there, they have just a bout EVERY kind of shoe listed. Good Luck

Love the outfit!

 

Have you thought about a sandal with just a large strap over the top rather than the strappy types, or would those not work for you either?

Jimbug,

 

For that outfit, I think that a pair of black or silver sandals would work really well.

 

Stewart Weitzman who probably has the largest collection of evening shoes at upper-moderate prices, also carries wide width's. His shoes are sold in major dept stores like Nordstom's, Bloomingdales, Lord & Taylor, etc. They're probably sold on Zappos.com as well.

 

Putting a rhinestone clip on a pair of satin pumps is always pretty, however, if you do that I would take a "test drive" at home. I'd worry that since the leg of the pants is wide, the hem might constantly get caught in the stones and ruin your pants.

I have a pair of wide silver sandals you can have, a 10 wide, I bought them a year ago and have never worn them, nor do I think I want to anymore. At the time I bought them I thought they were perfect :rolleyes: .

 

I would prefer a pump with this outfit, but a sandal would work. Here's a couple I like from nordstrom.com:

 

Here's the link to the page where I found them, I just put in an 8.5 wide, since you did not indicate your shoe size.

I've tried the shoe clips before and they hurt my feet.

Kathy,

I *love* that first pair of Nordstrom shoes. Beautiful! Thank you very much--I think I will go with those!

I love the outfit and I think the shoes you like from Nordstroms will look great but I did see a pair of shoes at velvet-R-us that are worth looking at. Since we have learned (the hard way) that velvet is Okay and people like it.;)
