The bride wants a cream/nude shoe in whatever style we want.
I prefer something I can also wear to work. No stilettos, no massive heel (2.5" tops. I'm 5'11", I do not need massive heels!). Outdoor wedding at a winery...in 2 months.
I don't have a budget. I need them to be comfy. I've had surgery on both my feet. I do not mind spending more money on shoes that I can get a lot of wear out of (aka something I can wear to work often)
And...go!

these are a bit more "work shoes" but might be ok, depending on the style of the dress.

This is the dress, in burgundy!
I was thinking one of the cole Haan wedges, though

I have the Cole Haan Air Talia wedges (in brown) and they're not the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, but they'd do the trick.

I have these in a slightly different style. Comfortable and cute! I like banana republic shoes.
Ann Taylor is another brand I love for shoes. I never get sore in their pumps. They have some super cute nude pumps:

@Blackbird: Oooh, I'm also in need of a nude shoe for a wedding, this summer. However, I need higher heels - you know how "tall" I am, haha.

I just bought these from DSW... http://www.dsw.com/shoe/cole+haan+margot+pump?prodId=296139&productRef=SEARCH
the leather is soft and the insoles feel like pillows

@looch, boo. For that kind of money, I want comfort all day long, lol. I don't mess around after having toe surgery.
@mrs. pen, ah, too high! I like the one with the bow the best, though!
@bunnylove08, I think those Cole Haans are perfect, thank you!!! SO CUTE.
I was thinking about these, but it really depends

@blackbird: oooh whoops - missed that memo. But the bows are super cute 
I like the cole haans that bunnylove posted the best!

@blackbird: I've had foot surgery too! Cole Haans are great work shoes!!!
Here is a low, nude color pump that would be awesome for wedding and work:
I have this exact shoe in the higher heel and have worn it for everything. It also comes in peep toe in the higher heel. AND - its on sale! Good luck! Tell us what you get!

@MrsH: I love Cole Haan too!! I always try to buy them when they go on sale. But I wear pumps for work and go through them rather quickly unfortunately. I've heard you can send them back to Cole Haan to get re-soled but I've never tried it.

@loveisstrange, they definitely look like they'd be great for dancing!!!
@mrsmcd, i have a really hard time wearing pumps. My ankles are really thin and I wear a size 10, so I get a LOT of slippage.
I'm getting the ones bunnylove suggested!!! They're dressy, the bride likes them, and I think i can wear them a lot and break them in, too!

@blackbird: What kind of toe surgery did you have. (I don't want to de-rail your post... Wall me if you want!)
wonderful grape / 20453 posts
@mrsmcd, i had part of my toenail removed on both my big toes due to really bad ingrowns. Gross. I'm super careful about toe boxes and the like now!
wonderful pear / 26210 posts
@blackbird: I have had the same surgery, twice now. I notice that I do better in shoes with a rounded box and not too high of a heel. If I can find wide width, even better!
wonderful grape / 20453 posts
Oh yeah, i don't do pointed shoes, high heels (see height), skinny heels (i prefer stacked), or anything too sexy (because it means it will hurt, lol). I mostly stick to flats, tennis shoes, and my trusty Fryes at work. And real leather, so it stretches to fit properly. Dress shoes sort of aren't on my radar anymore!
