The man of your dreams, a stunning dress and the most darling shoes to go with it — you have everything you need to ensure your wedding is perfect in every way. But at the end of your big day, will you be left with something less welcome than beautiful memories? Will you be sporting sore — or possibly even injured — feet? "Brides may think that aching feet at the end of their wedding day is just something they'll have to put up with," said Dr. Jacqueline Sutera, a doctor of podiatric medicine and spokesperson for the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA).

"But while dancing the night away at the reception can tire their feet, brides shouldn't end their big day with sore feet. The right shoe choice can help protect them from foot pain." Most women consider comfort over style or price when selecting a shoe, according to an APMA survey. Yet brides may be tempted to put looks over comfort, thinking they will wear their wedding shoes so briefly, a little discomfort will not make a difference. Wearing shoes that irritate your feet can cause long-term injury, however, and make existing problems, like bunions or hammertoes, worse.
