    I've been engaged for so long and I'm at the point where I'm starting to regret some of the things I've bought.  A few months ago I got these great red heels from Nina but they are horribly uncomfortable.  My fiance is 18" taller than me so I really want to wear heels for the wedding.

    When Pengy posted the Hey Lady shoe link today, I had major major shoe lust.  And they seem a lot more comfy than the Ninas and they are cute enough to wear again.  Now I'm thinking of getting these instead.  Wedding planning has made me entirely crazy about spending!

    Did you have any regrets about wedding purchases?  Would you get the second pair of shoes if you were me?  (Can't return the Ninas because I already wore them, so I'd have two pairs of "wedding shoes"...

    I love them both! Personally, I'm a HUGE fan of brightly colored wedding shoes, but if the Hey Lady shoes make you swoon and you can afford it, go for it!

    I'm having a hard time restraining myself with shoes too - my wedding isn't for about a year, so I have tons of time to find them, but I can't. stop. looking. It's ridiculous!

    I love those Heylady shoes so much.  I wish I could afford a pair...if you can afford it, I'd definitely recommend buying the new pair and selling the first.  Only YOU know what you really want! =D

    I like them both, but I'm also a fan of colored wedding shoes. Those Nina look gorgeous!

    Love the Nina's.  Why don't you make the pair you already purchased your "Rehearsal Shoes"???  You won't be wearing them for as long and not dancing in them so comfort isn't as important.

    Well I'm glad you pointed out that the Ninas are uncomfortable, because they are one of my top contenders for my own wedding shoes. Not anymore! I do NOT want to have to end up barefoot because my feet hurt so bad.

    The Champagne Goggles are my favorite! I would totally get them if I had the money. And Hey Lady shoes are supposed to be comfy. If you end up getting them, and you happen to wear my size...I may find out where you live and take them. Just sayin'. Innocent

    honeybun, the Ninas are only uncomfortable because they are 4" high.  I'm not used to wearing heels so I think that might be the only reason.  I've heard they are comfortable from other people, and they ARE comfy for me for ~2 hours.

    Thanks for the opinions ladies.  I decided today to just stick with my Ninas for now.  If I still have shoe lust over the Hey Lady's next summer maybe I'll splurge. :)

    I have the Nina Electra shoes too, but in green. And I find that they are very very comfortable! But I also wear heels daily to work, so I am used to walking in high heels. Maybe you can try wearing them around your house to break them in or getting some foot petals to make them more comfortable? I also love those Champagne Goggles by Hey Lady. I wish that I could buy them but I feel like I already splurged on the Ninas. Good luck on your search for the perfect wedding shoe. :)

    Those red shoes are HOT! Love those. The hey lady shoes are sweet... but not in your face. You've got the both of best worlds, really!

    JoJo, how funny!  I have Dankso clogs in two colors and that's really all I wear!  That's why heels are so weird for me...I'm definitely not a heels girl but I wish I was!

    I got a pair of flip flop wedges to change into at the reception if my feet hurt too bad.  Hopefully it won't be necessary!
