The other alternative to wedding flip flops is of course wedding sneakers. If you don’t need a heel you could always go with Converse All Stars, Jack Purcells, or Keds.

But most of us want at least a little bit of a heel on our wedding day. Savvy Sneaks is one of the most popular bridal sneaker companies out there. These sneakers have a 1 1/2″ heel and come in 18 different colors for $44.95 each.

Pretty cute picture huh?

Remember when platform sneakers used to be “in?” I lost one platform shoe when I went bungee jumping many years ago. The cord got tangled around my leg, pulled off my shoe and it landed in the river below. My poor shoe.

Anyway… Volatile seems to be the only brand out there that specializes in platform sneakers nowadays. I’ve seen their shoes in Sam & Libby stores (are those even still around?) Volatile carries a big selection of sneakers with very big heels.

Volatile Incarceration $40.99

Volatile Elevation $45.99. Available without rhinestones.

Volatile Celebration $42.99. Also available in white.

Volatile Flyer $45.99.

Volatile Expulsion $42.99. I think the Volatile Rightfield is a suede-like version of the Expulsion.

Volatile Rumpus $45.99

Rocker’s Jessica Platform Sneaker $33.45

Skechers Superstarz Mariah with 1 1/2″ heel for $25.00.

Steve Madden Bobbie for $54.95.

I would also check out Steve Madden or Skechers stores. Platform sneakers are a great way to keep your feet comfortable while giving you some height on your wedding day. Besides - no one’s gonna see your shoes; no one even noticed that I was wearing slippers.
