What color shoes with this dress?

I have been on the fence about ordering this dress but tonight I finally went for it. I am hoping I can wear it for both a fall wedding and a formal event closer to the holidays. I am really, really over the whole shopping thing so I am counting on it fitting well and looking nice.
I have black heels but I don't see black with this dress. I also don't think I want anything shiny metallic though the right bronze might work. The color is "slate" but I think it reads more brown than gray.
I can't wear anything thin and strappy like she's wearing -- so whatever shoe it will be will have some substantial surface area.. which I think makes it a little tougher.

Help Finding Arch Support Dress shoes
Comments (13)Waymom, Your post caught my eye. I have rheumatoid arthritis and my ankles and feet also pronate severely and I have no arches. I went to the nearest Foot Solutions store and they have saved me! I bought a pair of fexible but pretty strong dress arch supports from them. They were under $100. The supports flex a little but still offer enough support for comfort walking type shoes. Granted, I will probably never wear "dress" shoes again because there is not enough space for this arch support. But I can wear some comfortable walking type shoes with them. Shoes like some Naturalizers, Softspots, etc. It's a real pain to have to try them all on with the orthotic, but that's life. I also found Finn Comfort shoes. They are made in Germany and sold at Foot Solutions, Nordstrom's and several other American shoe stores. They have a solid cork arch support in their shoes and sandals. I could not ever wear sandals if it weren't for this brand. I love them. They are so supportive and many of the styles are cute. They are worth every penny. In fact, the arch supports inside the shoes are removable and the pedorthist (not sure I spelled that right) at Foot Solutions even adds a little more arch for me. She glues a thin layer of a hard flexible plastic under the arches and then grinds it down smooth. This adds another 1/4 inch arch for me. I may go this week to buy a pair of Durea shoes that I tried on before. The shoes are extra depth but they look great. They have a steel shank and a removable half orthotic arch support. They seem so strong and comfortable. They look really nice with pants. Look for a store that carries orthopedic shoes and go there to see if you can find some help. These people have saved my life. Ginny Ps I don't want to go on too long, but I also wear a pair of Spira tennies. They are "posted". By that I mean, the sole on the inside side (post side) of the heel is made of a more dense material than the outside side. This gives you a lot more support so you don't pronate as much. Look for tennies that have this more solid material on the inside side of the heel area. It's called "posted". Also, the "running" shoe styles are the best because the heels are flared out somewhat and that also gives more support....See MoreWhat color bridesmaid shoes?
Comments (5)There are some clear plastic heel covers you can buy -- they were mentioned here - don't recall the name. But anyway, they just slip over your heels, giving you a bit more width so you won't 'spike' the grass with every step, and also keep your heels from getting ruined. Might be worth looking into --...See MoreOT - what colour do you think the dress is?
Comments (9)Martin, just got John to look at the dress pics. for a second opinion and it all got rather technical. He felt the dress (black and blue) can't be 'true' black as black is a non-reflective colour and will always appear 'black' whatever light natural/artificial is used to illuminate it. He also 'saw' the colours as gold and light blue, perhaps less 'muddy' than the ones I see. re the A and B squares. Are our minds conditioned to see them as alternating dark and light, chess board style, therefore we still do? Is, in fact, B a 'dark' square and A light/white, or could it be the other way round? If the cylinder was changed from green to say yellow would that make a difference? The spiral thing is way to far above my head; looks like some psychedelic experience....See MoreWhat color should i paint my dressing room?
Comments (3)I love the glass door cabinets and think how much less dusting you will do. I like that warm soft taupe looking color I think it will not distract from color choices if you keep it quite light. Make sure your lighting is LED 4000K so the colors stay true at night. I will say though I do not like shoes over my head since they are never really clean on the bottom, I started storing mine is clear boxes in a rack that fits on a wall but is just 48” tall...See MoreFunkyart
