Order your normal shoe size. Though some brands and styles fit differently, most of the time it is your usual shoe size that fits the best and is most comfortable. If the shoes you are ordering are to be worn with a wedding gown, the fabric of the shoe is not critical. You will find that many of the bridal shoes are only available in satin though wedding gowns come in a vast variety of fabrics. Because white and ivory are very forgiving colors in any lighting condition, a bride should not overly concern herself with the fabric of her bridal shoes. If the shoes are to match a bridesmaid or any special occasion gown that is not white or ivory, the fabric of the shoe should be considered. Satin is a smooth, shiny fabric that reflects a lot of light whereas crepe is a slightly textured (matte) fabric that reflects much less light. This becomes most noticeable when the shoes have been dyed. This issue is easily avoidable. If the dress is satin or another shiny fabric, get a satin shoe. If the dress is crepe, chiffon, or another non-shiny fabric, get a crepe shoe. Getting your shoes dyed can be a traumatic experience but it doesn't have to be. The most difficult step in dying shoes should be finding the shoe dyer. Some stores will only dye shoes that have been purchased there. You may find that your local shoe repair shop offers shoe dyeing. Making sure the shoes are the appropriate fabric will result in a more similar color when dyed. A shiny dress may not appear to match a crepe shoe even though the dye color is, in fact, perfect. Do not expect your shoes to be dyed overnight. (Your shoe dyer may not even be able to get started on your shoes for a few weeks if he or she is busy.) It may take several days to mix the right color. Often times the color samples must dry overnight. The color may look very different when still wet. Be reasonable. If you expect a shoe dyer to replicate the exact color of your dress, you are going to be disappointed. When comparing the dyed shoes to the dress, do not press the swatch or the dress up against the shoe. That scenario is not going to happen when the shoes are being worn so that is clearly not the way to see if the color matches. If you want a realistic gauge to see if the shoes match, have someone put on the dyed shoes with the dress and walk around while you stand at least 10-15 feet away. (Keep in mind that you are staring intently at these shoes to see if the color is perfect, it is unlikely your wedding guests will have the same keen eye for this detail). Most of the shoes ordered from MyGlassSlipper.com will be shipped within 2-3 days after receiving the order. Others will need to be special ordered and will be shipped in 2-3 weeks. Occasionally, a shoe will be out of stock even at the warehouse and could take many weeks before new stock arrives. (You would be notified if your order was going to be delayed.) If the shoes are to be dyed, factor in that time as well. The most important deadline to be aware of is the first dress fitting. At the first dress fitting, you must be wearing the correct heel height in order for the seamstress to do the hem. This is no time to guess or estimate the heel height you will be wearing on the big day. Though a dress that is too short is merely a fashion faux pas, a dress that is too long could have distasterous results. You don't want to be walking down the aisle holding up the front of your skirt so as not to trip on it. The comfort of a shoe depends as much on the quality of the shoe as it does the shape of the wearer's foot. There have been many customers that wanted and were quite willing to pay $300.00 for Italian shoes but ended up getting another pair for less than $50.00 because they were more comfortable. Other customers have felt there was no need to spend over $50.00 for shoes yet end up with the $300.00 Italian shoes because they were the most comfortable. Generally, a shoe with a leather sole and leather lining can be more comfortable because they will conform to the shape of the foot as they are worn. Wearing your shoes around the house before the wedding can help break them in.
