Shoes

Hello!

I need some great, but affordable, shoes I can wear daily to school. I want to buy online (due to life and time constraints), but I have BIG feet and I'm not sure what size I'd be. I want to find somewhere that has really consistent sizing (and possibly comes up to a size 10 or 11).
I need some sandals!

Also, does anyone have any good reccomendations for a sturdy pair of ballet flats that look pretty but are good for your feet? I'm looking at Sketchers already, but other brands would be good to look at.


Basically - I need shoes I can wear to stand on my feet all day, and they need to look cute and match everything

I don't know about the sandals, and personally Im rather hesitant to buy shoes online (but my feet are oddly narrow so Im never sure if shoes will fit me), but Diana Ferrari has some nice flats that are good for your feet, and so do Sandlers. Some look like old lady shoes, but some are actually rather nice. Not sure of the price range but I'd guess not more than Sketchers.

I don't think they do flats specifically, but Hush Puppies do some legit looking shoes (legit in the way that I couldn't tell they were good-for-you shoes and not like, from ASOS). My friend got a bunch of pairs to wear for her retail shifts and she said they are still super comfortable after 10 hours of standing.

I think I want Docs for the wedding?

I think you should wear docs for your wedding.

Yes please - your wedding is going to be amazing.

I showed Amy and she literally said she would be appalled if I wore Docs

APPALLED!

Omg I am lol'ing

I vote the white ones.

The white ones are on sale at Platypus right now for $220. It's the only place in NZ that still has them in stock - even the Dr Martens website shows them as sold out, and they're limited edition so I wonder if I just bite the bullet and order a pair?

They'd be awesome for festivals and general wear anyway, right...?

(And tbh Amy saying she finds them appalling makes me want to wear them 24/7)

Ahaha. I've been planning on wearing docs to any future wedding of mine since forever so I am very on board with this. I once asked Murray if he would think it would be weird for me to wear my docs to our wedding and he said that it'd be weirder if I didn't, haha. They used to make these GORGEOUS white embroidered docs that I always thought someone should wear to get married in (white docs aren't really my thing) - I'll see if I can find a photo, but this would have been years and years ago that they sold them.

They were very similar to these, but with more colour/detail: http://photobucket.com/gallery/user/thefunkyinuit/media/cGF0aDovQUFBQUFpdVMxU0lBQUFBQUFHU0lRUS5qcGc=/?ref=

Oh yeah, those are very wedding-y!

I'm having Mum crochet my bouquet and all of the decorative flowers rather than get real ones, so kitsch bright floral shit totally works.
