Worth every penny if you're looking for a reliable shoe to carry you through 9 hours of grassy fields, gravel roads, hillsides, wedding vows, cocktail hour, dinner, dancing and drinks. After all that, my shoes show minimal wear. So not only are they comfortable and cute, but I expect them to withstand heavy use over time. My only advice in regards to these shoes is to remember to dance with your entire foot... I mistakenly started to dance on my toes to avoid stepping on a loose part of my dress. It would've been an easy fix to rebutton the piece that slipped off, but hindsight is 20/20. I say this because around the 8 hour mark my toes started hurting... BUT that is my fault for dancing over an hour on my toes instead of the balls of my feet or entire foot. For brides who aren't accustomed to heels, here's some general advice about dress shoes: only take off your shoes when you're done wearing them because if your feet start to swell, it's no fun trying to stuff them back into heels. That knowledge is what inspired me to invest in these shoes. I didn't feel the need to take off my shoes until the 8 hour mark. Pictures taken by Hunter and Sarah Photography
