Are You Concerned That Your Feet Will Hurt On Your Wedding Day?

Are you worried your shoes are going to hurt your feet on your wedding day?!? Here’s a tip!  Purchase at least two different pair of shoes to wear throughout your wedding day.  The different shoes will give a break to some of the pressure points on your feet. Here are more recommendations to protect your feet on your wedding day, so that you can keep your dancing feet happy!

Purchase your wedding day shoes at the end of the day

Your feet tend to slightly swell a little throughout your day, so we recommend purchasing and trying on your wedding day shoes when your feet are at their largest.

Make sure you purchase wedding day shoes that support your feet

Shoes that are too tight, or don’t have proper arch, sole or heel support can cause you to feel intense pain throughout your wedding day. Purchase shoes that fit you comfortably and provide your feet with good support. If you don’t, the pain will show on your face throughout your wedding day.

Get a pedicure a couple of days before your wedding

Trim your toenails to ensure they are not too long on your wedding day. And, be careful not to round out the nails! You don’t want a bad case of ingrown toenails!

Drink plenty of water

If too much sodium and water collect around your foot, leg, and/or ankle, it could be peripheral edema. As a result, your foot could be too swollen to comfortably wear your shoe. If that is the case, consider drinking more water. It may help your kidneys notice the additional salt and water, sending a message to the body to release both. (By the way, we are not doctors! See your healthcare professional to confirm that additional water will assist your condition.)

Avoid wearing flip flops the morning of your wedding day

Some foot doctors recommend that you should only wear flip-flops that offer arch support, and don’t wear them for long periods of time.

Avoid Going Barefoot

If you don’t wear shoes, your feet are exposed to the elements and you can stump your toe, cut your skin or your groom can step on your feet! (Ouch!)
