How to Break in Wedding Shoes

During a wedding ceremony members of the wedding party usually have to stand on their feet for long periods of time. If shoes are not properly broken in this can be very uncomfortable. There are things that can be done to break wedding shoes in before the day of the wedding.

• Walk around the house in the shoes for extended periods of time. Be sure to wear your shoes on different type floors. It is important to get comfortable in your shoes as soon as possible.

• Pull and open up your shoes as wide as you can get them. Avoid pulling the sides to wide to avoid making the shoes too big and uncomfortable.

• Stand in your shoes how you will be standing at the wedding. Continue to practice the position until you are comfortable wearing the shoes this way.

• Be sure to put socks or stockings on with your shoes. You may want to wear some that are a little more thick than usual. You can also practice wearing the shoes with the items you will be wearing at the wedding

• Try wearing the shoes on slick surfaces. Dance around in your shoes if there will be dancing at the wedding. Make sure your shoes do not slip or fly off your feet.

• Use no-slip patches on the bottoms of your shoes. The bottom of the shoes can be scratched up with sandpaper to make them have more traction. If you scratch the shoes up and need to take them back before the wedding, you will not be able to return them. Make sure you plan to keep them.
