Seeking: Big Ol Size 11's to go with this dress


Dear ESB, 

I feel like I keep searching and continually come up empty in my quest for the right shoes for my wedding, so I'm hoping you and your readers can help get me on track! This is my dress [pictured above] and I'm wearing gold jewelry, so I'm thinking of wearing a gold or cream colored sandal at my wedding in October. 

Sounds simple, right?  There are a couple of things that have made it more difficult to find the right one. 

>>I really want a shoe with a low-ish heel - and preferably a wedge - since I'm crazy clumsy and therefore terrible in heels. This rules out a lot of options. 

>>Finding the right tone of gold - I don't want anything too shiny, but more of a matte or distressed look - or the right shade of cream - one that works with the dress - has been hard. 

>>Finally, the kicker is that I've got enormous feet.  I wear a size 11, and it's crazy hard to find good shoes in that size anyway, let alone something so specific.  

Help!  I'm sure there are resources I'm not looking at that would be good to investigate. I'd love to spend no more than $200 on these guys.

Thanks!

  2. SO these say beige but look cream to me and more importantly they are super cute the height is reasonable and only $69!
    Also these are definitely beige, but have a gold accent.
    And then I stumbled across these fancy shoes. they are gold... so if you want to go with the animal toe look you can.

    Just giving you all the options.

  5. Fine choice. But I have to tag this one as LAZYPANTSES, 'cause LR is, like, WAY TOO EASY.

  6. I assume you don't want a cork heel on your wedge? If you're ok with that then there are more options.

    Otherwise
    M by Marinelli Bell Wedge Sandal - the gold in size 11 is not available online, but may be in a store near you

    Aerin - Georgica Sandal $278

  8. Whoa, I almost bought this for my wedding dress! I bought these Marc Jacobs wedges that are super low for after my ceremony (I'm super short, way shorter than my fiance, so I want to be tall for at least the ceremony when we're standing next to each other and then have flatter shoes after) http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446541870&CAWELAID=1648906097&cagpspn=pla&site_refer=GGLPRADS001 I am too lazy to go find who has them in stock, but they're a style he makes over and over so the chances of finding them may be good??
