Maybe you're mad she's getting married to him. Maybe you're hoping to catch the eye of that best man. Or maybe you just want to shake your money maker look pretty in your new dress all night in a pair of no-ache heels. Whatever your motivation, we’ve found the best choice for a wedding guest shoe for dancing: A crisscross mule that has 1) cushy straps and 2) a padded footbed.
Various designers are creating iterations in heights from 3 inches tall (which we recommend for the experienced high heel walkers among us) to under 2 inches (which we like to wear later with shorts and cropped trousers). Thanks to the mule design, this shoe doesn't have ankle straps to chafe and thanks to the padding, it's the next best thing to a mini-massage with every step. In leather, we’re loving neutral tones and metallic finishes, and fabric versions of the shoe are all over the color and pattern map.
Here are our favorite styles, for wearing under the disco ball and beyond.
