The wedding is one of the most important days in a woman's life. It is the day when you say "I do" to the person in your life and a new stage begins.
For that special day, all brides want to look radiant and feel comfortable. Therefore, it is important to choose the perfect footwear.
Espadrilles are a perfect option for brides, as they are comfortable, elegant and versatile. However, not all espadrilles adapt to all foot types.
Whether you have wide or narrow feet, it is important to choose espadrilles that adapt to the shape of your foot so that you feel comfortable and secure all day long.
How to choose your bridal espadrilles for wide feet
- The most important thing is to choose the height with which you feel comfortable and the size corresponding to the length of the foot, not the width. On many occasions, a woman with a size 37 length (23.7 cm) and with wide feet buys a size 38 shoe, just because her foot does not fit into a size 37. This has consequences in the long run, first, the length. The footwear will have excess in the toe and heel, and the support points of the foot will not be in the correct place to facilitate gait when walking, etc., etc. At Starlei we always advise our clients to choose their correct size so that our footwear fits perfectly and, consequently, is comfortable when walking.
- The design of the model is also one of the important choices, since a design has the power to give the foot the illusion, as far as possible, of being small, thin and even correcting natural defects.
- The upper is recommended to be wide so that it collects the foot well.
- Avoid thin pointed toe caps so that they do not subject the fingers to compression or alterations in their shape.
- If the ankle is thick, we will avoid wide strips or straps.
- If you are also short, you should avoid wide horizontal lines that shorten your silhouette.
- For greater comfort, the sole should have a pad and insole made of breathable material. At Starlei our insole is breathable and does not leave foot marks due to use, it is easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid letting the sole of your foot come into contact with the jute sole, as rubbing can hurt your feet.
- At Starlei all our espadrilles are handmade without a last and are sewn by hand. Some Starlei adapt to your foot in less than 24 hours. They must be tight, as they give in the first time you put them on. Traditional artisanal manufacturing does not hurt the foot.
- If your feet swell, avoid straps on the instep without buckles. And check that the ankle straps and straps are adjustable.
- As for materials, avoid vinyl, since a transparent shoe is very pretty like Cinderella's glass slipper, but the reality is that the foot does not breathe with this material.
- The perfect materials will always be quality leather and textiles that best adapt to the shape of your foot. And they must have a breathable lining.
- Finally, something that is recommended is to try the shoes in the afternoon.
We remind you that at Starlei you can also customize the height, color, and even create your own design from existing ones. Adjustment to the width of the foot and thickness of the ankle has no additional cost.
