Different types of block heels

Why Block Heels?

Block heels are a must if you are wanting to feel the ultimate comfort on your wedding day. We want your shoes to be on from the first steps down the aisle to the last dance of the night (on average a bride stands up for 12 hours of the day). We all know once our feet start to hurt there is no turning back. We ensure our shoes have the cushioning to make you feel that instant comfort when you put them on. Block heels are consistently known for the extra support you have on different surfaces beneath you in comparison to stiletto heels.

We consistently take on CM Bride feedback and acknowledge what you all want throughout our collections. Our block heels range from a range of shapes whether this be flared, tailored or curved so you have more than one choice of what style would suit you best. We also offer them in low (0cm-4cm), mid (7cm-8cm) or high (9cm-10.5cm) block options.

Charlotte's Top Tips

The expert's tips for choosing your wedding shoes.

Choose shoes that are comfortable. We offer free exchanges for our brides so you are able to try on first or we offer 1-1 appointments where we can help you choose your dream sole-mates.

Choose a heel height you’re used to! Your wedding day is not the day to go for a high stiletto if your feet are used to comfy, flat trainers. We ensure our shoes are comfortable no matter what size but it’s important to note on av

We have so many styles to compliment a variety of bridal aesthetics. Whether you want minimal but chic, classy and timeless, sophisticated but stylish, or if you want the extra wow-factor - make sure you make that statement Bridey!

Consider topics such as where are you getting married, (such as if you are on a beach there is a chance you will want to feel cooler and let more air to your feet with an open toe). If you experience swelling when wearing heels consider this as you want to ensure you are feeling comfortable and not restricted. If you tend to go for a closed toe then have a look through that range - remember Bridey, it’s your choice!

These bridal shoes are made with your “I Do” moments in mind. However, we want you to be able to wear them again & again. Consider this when making your choice, they can be perfect for future anniversaries and other special celebrations.

Use our shoe guide to help you make your decision (we have tried and tested every pair). As our styles are handcrafted in Spain we tend to find our shoes fit quite generously so it is quite common for brides to size down especially if they are inbetween sizes. With regards to Wide-Fit, we create these on EE meaning there is slightly extra room at the front and 1.5cm extra length on the straps.

Something Old

Each pair of our wedding shoes has an original silver sixpence. This is your something old.

Something New

Your beautiful shoes are your 'something new'.

Something Borrowed

Each box has an envelope. This is 'something borrowed'. Return this after your big day with a picture of your shoes.

Something Blue

Our insock logo and boxes are your 'something blue'.
