Shoes for the Bride with the Perfect Fit for a Very Special Day

The classic bridal shoes from the brand Werner Kern are handcrafted from the finest English satin—available in ivory among other colors—and are equipped with soft leather linings. Additionally, all the shoes feature a strap that provides extra support and security. The cushioned heel absorbs every step, while a soft and flexible latex midsole in the ball area ensures additional comfort for the wedding day. Models bearing the LS abbreviation have soles made of high-quality leather, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. All other bridal shoes come with a suede leather sole. Thanks to the superb fit of the bridal shoes, you are guaranteed to stand, walk, celebrate—and, of course, dance at the wedding—comfortably throughout the day. Since the choice of shoes also depends on the season, we offer both open and closed styles in our collection. Learn how to properly care for the shoes and which products to use in our blog post.

The Perfect Bridal Shoes for the Wedding Dress

Everyone dreams of elegant pumps, peep toes, sandals, ankle boots, high heels, or other shoe styles that perfectly match the dress. Werner Kern offers the perfect wedding shoes for your special day. In our bridal collection, open models with 6 or 6.5 cm heels, such as Francis, July, or Paris, in timeless white satin, are especially popular. With floor-length wedding dresses, the toes often peek out playfully. For particularly eye-catching wedding dresses, it is generally advisable to choose simpler bridal shoes so the look does not become overwhelming. Colorful bridal shoes are currently very trendy. Brides looking to make a statement can find equally comfortable shoes in the Nueva Epoca or Anna Kern collections.

Wedding Shoes – Open or Closed?

Brides often find it difficult to decide whether to wear open or closed bridal shoes on their wedding day. The choice between open and closed styles depends on several factors, such as the bridal outfit. We recommend open bridal shoes, such as sandals, for weddings in warm seasons and for brides experienced in wearing heels. Closed bridal shoes, such as pumps, are ideal for colder seasons. They provide more coverage and extra support, allowing brides with less experience in high heels to dance the night away. Remember that the shoes should match the dress. All that’s left are the right wedding accessories, such as necklaces and earrings, to complete your stunning bridal outfit.

The Optimal Heel Height for Bridal Shoes

Werner Kern offers a wide range of heel heights. The higher the heel, the more the legs are elongated. For short wedding dresses, we recommend higher heels to visually extend the legs and make the outfit a showstopper. With floor-length dresses, it is up to the bride to choose low or high heels. For brides who usually wear flat shoes, we recommend 3.4 or 4.5 cm heels. Our Comfort Models are especially comfortable bridal shoes and are ideal for slightly wider feet. Besides their wider shape, these shoes often feature a block heel. For later in the evening—after dancing—a flat spare pair, such as white stylish sneakers or other flat shoes, is a must-have in the bridal outfit. Almost anything is acceptable—except sandals. Werner Kern, for example, offers flat ballet flats with street-ready soles in various designs, perfect as backup shoes with their ultra-soft insoles.
