bridal shoes

I have been searching for a suitable bridal shoes for awhile, not really intensive but just pop by any shoe shops when i pass by any.... & conclusion was really hard to find a suitable one.... one thing is definitely the price... ok... so far those shops i been to were not too expensive, probably about $100 after discount or even cheaper.....then when i was bitching with my friends about my wedding preparation... i was like asking them if they know where to buy shoes... & i was thinking of getting a pair that cost about $100... & my friends were like "how can find so cheap one!!!"... i was like "really???" with super stunned & big eyes.... according to them, average pair of shoe cost may be $300.... i was like wth already... then one of them mentioned that her friend spent like $1K+ on the shoe... after hearing that.... i wasnt wth.... i was like OMFG, go & die, KNS, WTF... all the vulgarities you can think of.... i seriously dont understand why must spend so much $ on a bloody pair of shoe!?!??! ya... i know... look nice... but hey... is just one night??!?!?!? ok... may be another day for the pre-wedding shoot.. but still!??!!??! $1k+ for shoe.... got gold or diamond on it mea????

so after hearing all those scary story about how expensive the shoes cost... i decided to try my luck on my favourite shop = taobao.com..... i know the size may not fit me perfectly but i think no harm getting some idea on potential designs that i would like to get.... & to my horror.... here comes the second problem.... generally the shoes cost pretty cheap on taobao.... less than 100sgd... but the heels... my god!!! 10cm+!!!! what are those people's feet made of?!?!?! why need to wear so high heel??? of cause this is coming from a girl who doesnt wear heels often & lesson learnt is that i wont buy heels more than 5cm or else my feet will die by the end of the day....

wth is this??? is this even call shoe?? thats call walking on stilts

this is under bridal shoe category lea.... like omg right???i think the heel is like 20cm... of cause in front also may be another 10cm platform but still???? crazy....  with those height, you are practically tip toe-ing when you walk... thats why i always tell my bf, why wear heels,wear pointe shoe la... thats the highest one can ever go already.....

pointe shoe

i understand that wearing heels like elevate yourself to make the legs look longer... but 5cm heel not enough to do the job??? must wear 10cm+???? initially i am quite decided to wear lolita shoe with my wedding gown.......

loli shoe... cute right?? my favourite

 but then the shoe wont goes with evening gown.... so need to get a more universal shoe.... super high heels problem aside, i start looking on taobao on potential targets.... 

a bit casual but not bad

quite nice

super bling.... not my style but just something interesting which i came across

not too bad

not bad either

quite elegant

all the above designs are not bad... but my favourite so far are 2 pairs shown below

very classic & elegant... is actually something that i kind of dreamt of wearing for my wedding

lower + chunky heels of the same design as below

pretty nice pair

i managed to find a lower counterpart for this heel but i think chunky heels doesnt really goes with gowns.... oh well...... just have to continue the search..............
