    So I'm having a bit of a dilemma- I found shoes that could be perfect on endless.com, but my dress won't be in until February, so I can't try them on with it yet. Is it too early to buy them? Endless.com says it has a 365 day return policy; has anyone had experience returning things to them? The shoes are on sale and they still have my size left, but I'm getting ansty that they might be gone if I hesitate!

    Honey, its never too early to buy shoes. Smile

     

    Would you be able to wear these shoes with other things (if they ended up not being 'the ones' for your wedding? That alone would be reason enough for me... but I just love shoes. I've had lots of positive experience with Endless by the way, but I have not tried returning anything, either. Maybe you should call or email their customer service and explain your situation - just to get some confirmation on that return period. Endless is the same company as Amazon.com, and Amazon's returns have always been painless for me.

    I'd totally buy the shoes. As maryjane suggested, can you wear them elsewhere if not for your wedding? Otherwise put them in a box when they come in and try them on carpet with your dress. If you don't like them - send them back. :)

    With that kind of return policy, I wouldn't worry about it. I'm having problems because my first fitting is in a month and I have no idea what shoes I want. So it's getting super stressful... over shoes.

    Buy!

    I wouldn't worry with that return policy.  Just keep all the paperwork together in case you do want to return them later on though!

    Okay, okay, you all convinced me! I bought the shoes. :) Everyone's right, with that return policy I don't need to fret so much...now I'm excited to see them when they arrive and I hope they fit! And I'm even more excited for my dress to come in too!

    I do, it's really tiny though- hope it uploads okay! These look perfect for me (and I hope when they arrive they are! I'm excited!) with the low heel, cause I can't walk in high heels AT ALL, and we're getting married outside, so I didn't want sharp heels that would sink into the grass. And I really wanted a peep toe, too- I love the way those look. So yeah...fingers crossed.

    Buy them!   Absolutely no reason not too! :)  Plus, that way when your dress does come in you have the shoes already and you can have it hemmed! :)

    The shoes are cute and I love the color.  Very nice.  I'm having trouble find the shoes.  I'm going to check out the site you went to.

    I had trouble finding shoes too, and found threads on here recommending endless.com...they do have a big selection and let you sort according to color, size, heel height etc. I found that really helpful! I also looked on zappos.com.

    Those shoes are really cute - good choice! And I'm glad you went ahead and bought them; there is no such thing as "too early to buy shoes" :)

    Totally buy the shoes now.  You'll need to have them to try the dress on when it comes in anyway.

     

    BTW, I'm a green shoe bride too!

    I bought my shoes before my wedding dress.  I had very specific qualities I was looking for, that seemed hard to find, so the moment I found a pair with all of the specifications I jumped on them.  I'm sure my feet will be killing me by the end of the day though mine are over 4"!

    I bought my shoes oh, maybe 2 or 3 months before we were even engaged.  I saw them, fell in love, and had to have them.  I knew he'd get around to asking sooner than later.  If you love them, buy them.  If they don't work, you can always return them.  Or find a great new outfit to go with them!

    It is never too early to buy shoes.  EVER.  lol.

    I purchased my shoes before I was engaged.  I purchased my shoes before I even knew what dress I wanted to wear and before we even knew WHERE we wanted to get married.  I say go for it!
