I LOVED my Vivian shoes. My wedding was in a farm/orchard out in the country and I spent the day walking over gravel roads and grassy fields as well as dancing on the built dance floor. I am a very active bride so I was running in joy and happiness quite a bit of the time too. My shoes were fantastic through it all. They were supportive, comfortable and elegant and allowed my dress to shine. I did a whole bunch of research before committing to Bella Belle shoes and I am so so so happy I made the leap. 3 inch heel and I honestly forgot they were on my feet! No pain the ext day at all, even after 8+ hours. A huge victory. Just do it! Oh, p.s I hover between a 9.5 and 10 and opted for the 9.5 for a better fit (if that helps) regular width foot. I don't have all my photos back yet but you can see the shoes in this picture here, as well as the terrain I was walking on. :) I could go for a five-mile hike in these shoes!
