Comfort at the Heart of It

Comfortable Wedding Shoes and Bridal Style

Angela Nuran became known for bridal shoes designed around elegance, adjustable fit, cushioning, dancing, and long wedding-day wear. That same focus on bridal shoe comfort and graceful movement guides the advice you will find here, from choosing the right heel to staying comfortable from ceremony to reception.

A Thoughtful Detail

Bridal Silk Ankle Strap Extenders

A silk extender gives a short ankle strap a little more room. Measure the width of your shoe’s existing strap before choosing a size.

  • Adds about 1¾ to 2 inches
  • Sold in pairs

Nancy Moffatt carries on Angela Nuran’s ankle strap extender business through her Etsy shop, Angel Straps Boutique.
