The ideal pair of party shoes will have a cushy footbed and plenty of arch support. Of course, lower heel heights tend to be more walkable, as are wedges, block heels, and even platforms, which all provide more stability and balance than skinny stilettos (although we did find a few podiatrist-approved pairs of the latter). Regardless of what you choose, remember these Oprah Daily editor-approved tips: Try to break in new shoes before wearing them for the big event. And when in doubt regarding color, metallics go with everything!

From strappy sandals to platform heels and embellished flats that sparkle, here is a selection of the most comfortable wedding shoes for a long, celebratory night of dancing.
