Scandalous animal print shoes
In my never-ending search for loud-and-proud wedding shoes, this week I'm venturing into the wilds of animal print shoes. Really, it's a wonder it took me this long since really — is there such a thing as an understated animal print shoe?
Cheetah, leopard, zebra, pony ... none of these animals were actually harmed in the making of this list of wedding shoes. But I went pretty much ape-shit and grabbed so many styles to show that there are TOO many. I've set this post to only display 10 at a time. To see more, you'll need to refresh the page.

I love all of the shoes! I like leopard print but honestly i've never been bold enough to wear it. Good idea!

Brides (and shoe afficianados) should look at "Naughty Monkey" shoes. They're ridiculously adorable and mix up some animal prints with each other, making them faaaaabulous for all occasions

Except for the pony hair ones, right?
Damn it is hard for a girl to find 11W shoes that aren't leather/suede/pony hair and aren't ridiculous.

I'm wearing these! http://s3.amazonaws.com/snipi/images/a/42331.jpg
We're having a safari theme wedding, so I had to do something animal print! I found these in like 15 minutes of searching- and I still haven't found a dress!

I got married 3 & 1/2 years ago & wore leopard print shoes… when i went to my fitting & stepped up on the platform in my 5" leopard heels, the seamstress said "Where are your shoes?" I said "I'm wearing them…" She said, "No, I mean where are the shoes you're getting married in?" I said "These ARE the shoes i am getting married in…" She didn't believe me until my mom confirmed it. All my bridesmaids also wore leopard shoes that I bought for them.

Love this idea! I see more and more brides going with funky shoes and it's definitely a photographer's dream! They are so fun and really makes for an interesting day! Love them!

The 6th one down most resembles the Betsey Johnson Mary Janes I plan on wearing. When I was browsing in the store, I told the employee I was going to be wearing red and instead of selling me the boring clear/white ones I was looking at, that guy suggested I go "balls to the wall" with leopard print. One look at them and I was SOLD!!!! I loooooove over-the-top! Animal print is for bad girls!!!! Roar!

im not the girly girly type so the whole idea of wearing heels is completely out of the question. but i did manage to find some shoes that id want because they express who i am as a person. not to mention. if the dress is long enough who's going to see them?
