No matter what type of wedding you're looking for — small, traditional, destination, over-the-top — one thing remains consistent for every bride, and that's to be comfortable. And while the wedding dress always seems to steal the spotlight over the shoes, footwear is actually more important when it comes to considering comfort. A bride on her big day should never be distracted by shaky stilettos or worried about sinking into grass while walking down the aisle, after all.

So if you're looking for a pair of heels for your nuptials that has both style and comfort features, here's what you need to look for:
-
Block Heels:This should be the No. 1 step. Shoes with chunky or block heels always provide more stability. But if you're not into the look of a substantial heel, consider styles that are more geometric or embellished. To gain balance and a more level surface, you should also choose heels with a platform. Plus, wearing a platform can provide added length and better posture.
-
Ankle Straps:High heels with ankle straps are always the way to go when it comes to picking out shoes for an occasion, especially if it's for an event where you'll be on your feet for hours. The strap offers added support and will essentially keep your shoe connected to your foot.
-
Sandals With a Higher-Coverage Vamp Strap: A classic strappy sandal will have an ankle strap as well as strap closer to the toes. The thicker this strap is, the better. It provides more coverage, which gives more stability and all-around comfort.
