Hi. I am thinking of buying Touch Ups brand shoes for me and my bridesmaids. Has anyone worn them before? Were they fairly sturdy and comfortable?
Which shoes do you like best?
For the bride (who really needs something sturdy):
Kate: http://www.benjaminwalkcorp.com/?pg=bridal&sub=pum...
Shelly: http://www.benjaminwalkcorp.com/?pg=bridal&sub=san...
Millie: http://www.benjaminwalkcorp.com/?pg=bridal&sub=san...
Naomi: http://www.benjaminwalkcorp.com/?pg=bridal&sub=san...
For the bridesmaids (who will be in short dresses):
Lynn: http://www.benjaminwalkcorp.com/?pg=eve_prom&sub=s...
Monaco: http://www.benjaminwalkcorp.com/?pg=eve_prom&sub=s...
Erin: http://www.benjaminwalkcorp.com/?pg=eve_prom&sub=s...
Feel free to recommend another style if you wish as well. Thanks for your help!
Update:I was originally thinking of letting each one pick their own shoes, but I have been told by several people at bridal shops that when bridesmaids are wearing SHORT dresses, it really looks better if their shoes match. I was hoping to get a silver shoe (instead of a dyed shoe) so they could be worn with multiple outfits after the wedding.

I have worn three of the shoes you're looking at for the bride...Kate, Shelly and Millie. They were all pretty good shoes, relatively comfortable. I would say that the Shelly was the most comfortable of the three, but believe it or not the Millie was the most "stable" while being easy to slip out of when/if necessary.
One of the reasons (apart from look) that I have chosen the following shoes is because I believe it is safer to have a strap on the shoes than without. You do NOT want to be falling off your shoes as you walk down the aisle! (Same for bridesmaids!) I know it isn't common - but I have done it a few times before so for safetys sake I would just say to go with the straps!
Brides shoes - I love Kate and Naomi... Naomi is a little more formal so it depends on your dress and the style of wedding.
I also really like Jodie for both the brides and bridesmaids shoes!

I'm not really a fan of any of the other silver shoes to be honest. If it were up to me I would have the bride in either Naomi or Jodi and the bridesmaids in Jodi... but I am assuming it is a formalish wedding....
For the bride I like the Millie or Naomi and the bridesmaids I like the Erins the best. Also, I would check on ebay for these (just type the brand and style in the search box) you would probably be able to find them for $10 - $20 cheaper even with shipping!
Hi there! I did this brand of shoes and found them to be very sturdy (I did a lot of dancing in them) and comfortable (but I'm used to wearing heels). I did the Lauren style. I really love the Naomi style for the bride, it's very classic and with the low heel should be sturdy. And I love the Erin for the bridesmaids, I think they would look the best with short dresses. Good luck and Congrats! :)
Bride: Naomi
Bridesmaids: Erin
For the Bride I would choose the Millie.....everybody has or had own a Shelly......the other two are boring!
For the Bridesmaids I like the Erin, they are adorable and they wouldn't have to worry about the back strap, rubbing and causing blisters!
For you, I love both the Millie and the Naomi, but I think the Millie has the edge, as it's a bit fancier and looks more bridal. Both are lovely, though!
For the bridesmaids, my favorite is the Erin, as I think it's the most versatile, and it looks gorgeous too :)
Bride: Kate
Bridesmaids: Erin

Please don't tell your bridesmaids what shoes to wear. It's really rude. I've been a bridesmaid 8 times and have some experience with this. Shoes are a personal thing. Some people are more comfortable with flats and others with heels. Some prefer closed toe and others sandals. Nobody is going to notice their shoes!!!!! Trust me!!! Let them be comfortable. Perhaps they already have a perfectly nice pair in their closets. Shoe #3 will be impossible to keep on their feet while walking down the aisle.
I vote for Kate for the bride and Monaco for the bridesmaids. I vote against anything backless like the Erin style. I can never seem to keep them from slipping off my feet.
