THESE SHOES ARE MADE FOR WALKING . . .

Okay Wedding Professionals the $1,000,000 dollar question of the day is . . . what do you put on your feet while working a wedding? Do you go for fashion over function?

I learned my lesson the hard way. I always wore heels, well not just heels but HIGH heels because I just felt I looked better and felt more professional and "business like". You see with flats I feel stumpy and well just not good. I finally was so tired of not being able to walk for 2 days after a wedding I just sucked it up, swallowed my narcisistic pride and broke down and bought a pair of Dansko's and can I tell you - I am in HEAVEN!!!! Mary Jane's even. They have a heel and more support than a girl could ask for. I am forever a changed women and can now say I treat my feet with tender loving care! Afterall, they have to take me a long way in life!

Just curious as to what the consensus is out there? Would love to hear your take on shoes!

Here's To You . . .

I wear heels but bring flats with me and change into them at the end of the evening when I'm cleaning up; but I will take a look at these dansko's

I have worn high heels for 15 years. You probably won't believe this but if I wear flat shoes my back hurts more so for me.... I am sticking with the heels!!

I wear flats. But cute ones. =) It's your job as a vendor to make sure everything is running smoothly for the bride. You want to make sure you can do the job as comfortably as possible. =) LOVE me some heels, but they outdo me most of the time.. lol

I wear flat shoes during set up and break down, but my heels are on before the first guest arrives. Same with my team.

Well, as a photographer I do have to sacrifice fashion over comfort, i am always moving around and sometimes I have to run to get the shot, things that i cannot do while wearing heals! so a nice comfortable elegant flat shoe will do for me. I know of photographers who wear heals , I just feel I might get hurt with all the moving around , not allowing me to do the job. When I have a beach wedding I go barefoot! while on the beach.
