First of all, the shoes are HOT HOT HOT - I love them.  I say go for it if they make you so happy.  Will you wear them later??

Holy Crap those are high...but sooooo sexy!  If you like them and will suck up the pain that those shoes will undoubtedly cause, I say GO FOR IT!!!!  Sexy mama!  =)

I am totally guilty of splurging on a pair of shoes myself - so i say GO FOT IT! :) But i also have to add - those shoes are so HOT but do not look too comfortable. Is there a way you can try them on first? There is absolutely no platform in the front, which makes for a very high arch so no matter how hot the shoe, it won't be worth it if you can't wear it all night! :)

I think I'm probaly the lone exception.  In general no one will see your shoes for the most part and with that style in particular people won't see the really cool ankle part unless you walk around with your dress raised up in your hands.   

Not that you can't wear a special or fancy shoe but if you know there are other areas of your wedding that you need this money for then I'd make a compromise....you can buy  some really nice shoes for half the price and put the other $250 or more towards the part of your wedding that needs it most.

totally splurge! i did on shoes, and i dont regret it AT ALL. haha.

I don't disagree with the splurge idea in general, but for these- if you don't normally wear such a high heel, I wouldn't do it. You will be uncomfortable all night and it might scare you from wearing them again.  They are seriously HOT shoes!  If you had found a pair with a similar price tag but they seemed to be a little more comfortable (thereby increasing your chances for multiple wears), I would say go for it.

I am having a similar internal struggle over these: http://www.raffaello-network.com/raffties/detail.php?itemid=100500&rangeid=29

How often would you TRULY wear them?  I always try to convince myself that something is worth it because I'll get lots of use out of it, and I never do.  They're beautiful shoes, if you'll actually get a significant amount of use out them, because that's a lot of money to spend for shoes that you'll wear for 6 hours and then store in the closet.  I went through a similar debate with shoes, and finally decided that it wasn't worth me spending more than $200 on shoes for the wedding.  I'm a scientist so I definitely couldn't wear nice shoes to work, and I work 80+ hours per week, so I don't go out often enough to justify needing another pair of going out shoes.  Plus, I live in the city and walk EVERYWHERE, and destroy all my shoes after just 2-3 wears, and it's expensive to have them repaired!  I've unfortuntely found it has nothing to do with the quality of the shoes either -- I have a beautiful (beautiful!!) pair of Manolo Blahnik's that I wore TWICE and the metal of the stiletto is already poking out the bottom.  Twice!  That's like $350 per wear before I need to go and spend $40 to have them repaired.  I'm done with expensive shoes and living in the city -- not worth it for me.

I am so, so sorry... ;)
