The Heels Beverly Hills Brides Are Still Wearing at Midnight

A review of 34 heel styles worn through full wedding days found the comfortable ones kept returning to the same shape: a block or platform base standing in for the thin stiletto spike. That base spreads a bride's weight across the whole foot instead of balancing it on a single point, which is the difference between a shoe that gets kicked off before the first dance and one that stays on through it. The pattern held regardless of dress length or venue, and it had nothing to do with how the heel looked from across the room.
