    I may now become a two shoe bride, as my color scheme as been "tweaked" and am considering buying the Nina Elke in either the dark blue or the raspberry color.

    Is it comfortable?  I am going to be a high heeled bride, used to heels, but love the look of this sexy shoe!

    It is going to be an incredible color pop!Shoes:  Anybody ever wear Nina Elke when they were married? :  wedding 9994 950877 D

    Imagine this shoe in raspberry/fuscia!

    I am not wearing those for my wedding, but I did order those in grape lustre from zappos. Now, I wear Nina shoes all the time, and usually have no problem. They fit true to size, but depending on the style, they may be a little tight in the toes. This particular shoe from zappos, I had to return. When I got them, I was so excited. I went to try them on, and I could not even get my foot in the shoe. Maybe zappos gets seconds or maybe they were marked the wrong size, but there was no way my foot would even begin to squeeze into this shoe. If you decide to order it, I suggest at least a size or maybe even two up. I would have exchanged my purple lustre ones, but I didn't want to take another chance of them not fitting, so I got a different pair of Nina's, and they fit perfectly fine.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  I'd really like to try them on in person rather then buying via internet...have you seen these in any department stores?

    You are very welcome. No, I haven't seen them in stores; just online.

    I don't think that DSW has them, but if you have one of those close to you, they have a lot of designer shoes that you could try out, and then go online to see if you can find a better price. If you purchase online from them, you can return them to a store near you or send them back.

    Spot on!  Thanks girl!  I do have a DSW nearby.  Will go check it out!  Come to think of it, I saw something rather similar in my not so distant memory there..but it was a champagne color.

    I'll run over there tomorrow!

    Just askin' again...anybody wear the Nina Elke for their big day?  Is she comfy?  It sure is one heckuva glamorous shoe..and I love me some glamour!

    I'll either be wearing that or my lovely shoe, Tessa by Marciano!

    I bought these Nina shoes and although I really like them, they are a bit tight in the toe area.  If I bought another pair, I would probably go up a half-size.

    I am wearing Nina, but not Elke. Most of the nina shoes are comfortable for me even though they are 4" heel. Did you already try to look at Macy's or DSW?

    I found reviews for the shoe. I don't know if you already saw this or not. I hope this helps.

    At one point I was planning on wearing these, but then tried them on with my dress. Rhinestone "brooch" on the top + antique tulle dress ='s recipie for DISASTER. I kept seeing the rhinestones getting caugth in the tulle and me tripping and putting grass stains in my grandmother's 59 year old wedding gown...

    They're great shoes; that was just how they interacted with my dress!
