They say your wedding is one of the biggest days of your life. So, the last way you want to spend it is tending to aching arches and sore soles thanks to a killer high heel.
The Most Comfortable Wedding Shoes, According To maire claire:
- Best Block Heel: BARED Chilia, $329
- Best Kitten Heel: AJE Edra Mid Heel, $295
- Best Flat Shoe: Monolo Blahnik Hangisi Satin Point-Toe Flats, $2,115
Thankfully, the fashion gods have been shining on us in recent seasons with block and kitten heels—and even some great flats—seeing sky-high stilettos go the way of our 2010’s skinny jeans. Well and truly out. And, bridal shoes aren’t immune from the trend.
Comfort is no longer a compromise—it’s part of the overall aesthetic, with designers (thankfully) reworking classic silhouettes into styles that feel as good as they look.
Driven by recent trends, we’re seeing the most fashion-forward brides favouring point-toe kitten heels and elevated ballet flats for both function and flair.
So if you’re looking for the perfect wedding shoe that won’t sacrifice style for comfort, consider this your cheat sheet to the low heel and flat styles are the perfect bridal shoes to take you from your ceremony to the dancefloor.

Block Wedding Heels
If you’re set on wearing a heel but don’t want your feet to ache all night, a block heel or platform will help keep you feeling more stable and supported.
Embellishments and a touch of sparkle make these almost-practical heels feel elevated and dancefloor approved.

Kitten Wedding Heels
For those who simply can’t part with a heel, we’d recommend sticking to a kitten or heel height under 2.5 inches or 6cm.
This season, we’re loving high-cut vamps, sheer details and the odd embellishment.

Flat Wedding Shoes
We never thought we’d be so glad to see ballet flats revived, but now that the shoe trend’s returning reign is affirmed brides are finding the most stylish pairs for their special day.
Point-toe styles are perfect for an elevated feel, while traditional silhouettes from designer brands in mesh and bejewelled finishes have become an it-girl favourite.
