Kick it with these colorful alternative wedding shoes

Here at Offbeat Wed, we have been talking about alternative weddings shoes for nontraditional folks LITERALLY FOR DECADES.

Today, I’m going to share some of my favorite nontraditional shoes for 2022.

These heart-heeled shoes let your show your love from head to toe [UPDATED for 2022!]

I wore heart-shaped shoe clips on my wedding day a few weeks back so I’m still on a bit of a heart-shaped kick. When I saw these Heart-shaped heels by Show Story, I knew they were destined to be someone’s perfect love-themed wedding heels. The best part of these lovey-dovey heels are that they come in 35(!) colors and patterns. Some have an ankle strap for extra security, some have a removable toe flower, and there are stripes, polka dots, rainbows, glitter, wings, and more. There’s even a few blue pairs if you want to make them your “something blue.”

You can find plain old comfortable shoes (at a store or already in your closet!) and use some wedding shoe addons to make them AMAZING. I’m talking ankle cuffs with feathers, blingy shoe clips, rainbow wings, kinky chains, LED laces, and pom-poms! There are so many ways to take a plain shoe to wild-as-hell levels of fun. Let’s see what I found scouring the web…
