22 Best Wedding Shoes For 2022 Brides-To-Be

Everyone's wedding is different and unique to them, so of course, your bridal shoes should be unique to you too. Plenty of brides-to-be know what they're looking for in a wedding shoe, but it can be difficult to know where to look for it. Scouring different websites can be time-consuming when you've already got too many things on your plate, and it often won't even yield the best results. Our goal is to pare down your options to the actual best of the best so you can do less scrolling and more vow writing.

We started by choosing the most common and difficult-to-find bridal shoe categories. Then, we embarked on our search to fill each category with the pair of shoes that was the best fit. When it comes to shoes that you're going to wear for eight of the most important hours of your life, how they really feel matters. We made sure to choose shoes not only based on their looks and the company's details but also on reviews from real people who've already given them a test drive. The result? A perfect list of shoes for every bride — no matter what their dream wedding shoes might be.

If you, like many people, would like to save on the shoes and invest your bridal budget in other aspects of your wedding, we've got an option for that, too, and if you can believe it, it's under $25. These white strappy sandals are simply classic, and there's pretty much no style of wedding dress they wouldn't complement. They're not just thrifty and lovely — they're comfy too. 

One reviewer gave the pair five stars and wrote, "I'm 5'10" and do NOT wear heels often so when I do, I need them to be very comfortable and not too gigantic. These shoes nailed it. I normally wear a size 10 but after reading reviews suggesting to buy a half size down, I ordered a 9.5 and they were PERFECT. I wore these shoes at a 6 hour outdoor event with dancing! My feet only SLIGHTLY hurt toward the end of the night, but I was really impressed at how comfortable these were – as long as I didn't attempt to walk too fast. They're super cute too!!! And can't beat the price!" Many reviews echo this reviewer's sentiment of sizing down when buying these shoes. If you're unsure, though, they're available with Prime Try Before You Buy, which means you can try multiple pairs to find your perfect fit before making the purchase.

For fashionistas getting married, now is really your time to shine. These shoes are sure to make a fashion statement without looking over the top. With a four-inch heel, this pair is one of the tallest on our list. But even if you're not a fan of high heels, these may be worth a try. One review says, "Yes the heel is high, but that's not a secret it's clearly labeled if you buy online and if in the store you can try it on! That said, this high heel is the most comfortable I've ever worn, and I've worn a lot of really high heels. Absolutely recommend."

We love the golden blush color and think it would complement any shade of white in a most unexpected yet elegant way. If you want to make even more of a fashion statement, though, these beauties also come in a perfect shade of pink.

They say "classic is classic for a reason." A classic white pump is the most traditional bridal shoe there is. So if you're going for that classic look, you're going to love this pick for a few reasons. The low sides and subtly pointed toe make for a streamlined and slinky silhouette. The stiletto heel is tall and thin, which leaves you with height and keeps your feet from looking clunky. Plus, they're super comfortable despite their height, which we all know can be painfully difficult to achieve.

One review, in particular, proves that these heels will serve you well for the whole duration of your wedding. It says, "For a heel of this height, they are so comfy! I'm a teacher and on my feet all day, and I can rock these for 9 hours at a time without issue! The shoes have a built in cushioned insole too, which make them even more wearable. True to size, and even more fun in person than the picture shows. Definitely worth it!"

If you're going to have rain on your wedding day, you already know two things: 1. It's good luck, and 2. You're going to have that Alanis Morissette song stuck in your head the whole time. Still, if you're planning on tying the knot in a particularly rainy climate, you'll want to come prepared with footwear that will stay looking good as new even after getting submerged in a puddle or two. 

The Mara ballet flat from Italeau is the perfect choice. If you're wondering how a suede flat could possibly be our no. 1 pick for a rainy day, your reservations are more than understandable. However, these shoes are completely waterproof and won't retain stains. Plus, you still get the benefit of that upscale suede look. 

Because they're flats, they'll keep you feeling balanced on your feet whether you're around deep puddles or even icy patches, but the elongated toe will still leave you looking elegant and not too casual.

If you're having a formal wedding, you need shoes to match. These pumps stood out because they have the glitz you need for a fancy affair but won't clash with an otherwise opulent outfit. They're also a great way to dress up a simpler dress, like one bride did, whose review said, "I literally cried when I unpacked them! These shoes are even more stunning in person. I always knew I wanted this style shoe since my wedding dress was very classic and had nothing but traditional button details." She also left a couple of hot tips: "Definitely size up from 1 to 1 1/2 sizes, I ordered my size and I could have gone up a half size more, they fit but you definitely need to break them in before your event. Worth every penny, so stunning and received a ton of compliments!" 

Another happy bride-to-be's review reads, "These are beautiful, from the moment I opened the box and saw all the sparkles I knew they were keepers for my wedding! They were actually quite comfy and not too narrow, my foot is a bit wide but they'll break in nicely. Material is nice, both inside and out. Love them and can't wait to wear them!"
