Shoes ... Help!!!

[CBussey64]

Going on first cruise in 28 days :D but I have horrible feet. I just had injections, have bone spurs, and will be injected the day we fly out ... I don't wear heels (I'm 5'10") and don't have cute feet ... size 11 W ... both of my formal night dresses are long and my cocktail dress for specialty dinner club is shorter ... wondering what kind would be appropriate ... 2 are black one is red and black so I can wear black shoes for all ... was thinking of sparkly ballet ... and wondering where you all recommend to look. Thanks in advance. :p

I'm not expert, this is only my personnal opinion but I think a sparkly ballet shoes will look bigger. If you go for ballet, I wouldn't go for sparkly.

 

Here are some ideas, flat or low heel (1 1\4'' or less):

This one is my favorite but they don't list it under 11W, maybe you can find something similar:

ColoradoSweatheart, I have only been on one cruise, so I am by no means an expert. I feel that if your feet give you trouble and you know the ballet flats will feel good, wear them. I didn't see many people looking at anyone's feet on my first cruise and if your dresses are long, they definately won't be the focus. Sparkly would make me feel better too. I love the bling and that is how I would go too! :D

We have a $ general store where we live. I went in to get cleaning supplies and they had the cutest ballet shoes. I got a pair of black velvet ones to go with a black velvet casual pant suit. They had sparkly ones too. You might find a good deal now that the holidays are over.

Go with what is comfortable. I never notice feet either!

Go and try several flats on - make sure you are comfy. Feet hurting with all the walking will make you miserable. I wear comfy whenever possible, and have just recently bought a pair of ballet flats at a regular discount shoe store (not sure if we can name names???) but they have the BOGO sale frequently...anyway, they were under $20, comfy, yet have a little bow to dress them up and have a cushion in the sole, so I think they will work. Break them in a little before your trip - and have fun!

I would definitely go shoe shopping and try on what ever flats you thought dressy enough, but let fit and comfort be your guide.

Try Crocs Allice or Celest models in black leather.
