    Are these okay to wear as my bridal shoes?

    They're DKNYC "Kenya"

    I figured they're quite comfy. The only problem I have is the black heel. What do you guys think? Thanks!

    Well, this definitely depends on your personal taste, but I wouldn't wear them.  I had to nix many pairs of potential wedding shoes because I wanted the heel to match the rest of the shoe.  I think that when the heel is a different color or material than the rest of the shoe, it looks a bit too casual.

    Do you have any pictures of your dress? Overall though, I think they would be nice! I've seen other wedding shoes before with a darker heel.. and I 've even seen other people do completely black shoes with their dresses. It all depends on the look you are going for. Also, I think if you like these shoes and want them for your wedding shoes you should do it! :)

    Wear whatever shoe you want!  I am of the belief that there is no such thing as an acceptable bridal shoe.  If you wear them on your wedding day, they're bridal shoes!  Going with comfort is always a good idea, I was dying by the 2nd hour in my heels!

    Oh, they're CUTE!  I don't see anything wrong with having a more playful shoe...but I do love shoes, and I'm going to do a playful/colorful shoe, so that's clearly just my style.  Do what makes you happy!

    Unless you do have tea-length dress people are only going to see the fronts of your shoes. Even in pictures of your feet. I'd say wear them if you love them.

    @anniebear: That's a beautiful dress! I think your shoes would look nice with it! And I agree with camrie, I don't really think the heel part of the shoe would show anyway (if that's what you're worried about) unless you do one of those shoe shots where you lift the skirt of the dress to get a good picture of the shoes :) hehe. Cute shoes and beautiful dress! :)

    I think the shoes are far too casual for your dress.  The shoes are adorable but I wouldn't wear crackled leather with such an elegant dress. To me, they don't go with the fabric or style of your dress.

    I don't think they go with the dress but if you really love them maybe you can wear them to your rehearsal dinner.

    I think they are adorable and I don't think that wedding shoes have to be a certain style so I say GO FOR IT!

    Cute, cute shoe, but may not go with the dress. It's not the color/s but the type of shoe leather.

    If you love them, then wear them. No one will see them at all unless you have a short dress.
