These beautiful Badgley Mishka Roxy sandalas have a 3 3/4" heel. It's perfect for any bride who wants to be taller. I received so many compliments with these shoes. The shoes were originally available in two colors. This is the discontinued color "nude" which looks similar to champagne.
Besides breaking the shoes in for a few hours, I've worn these shoes twice (our courthouse wedding, and our destination wedding). I typically wear between a 9 and a 9 1/2. I went with 9 1/2 as the shoes didn't slip and felt comfortable at that size. We didn't get married on the beach, but we did take beach photos where I walked barefoot and wore the shoes after walking on the beach. The shoes have been wiped clean of sand.
I have also inserted Vivian Lou Insolia® CLASSIC Weight-Shifting Insoles - Medium (US 8 to 9.5). If you haven't used these, they are amazing as I was able to last most of my reception wearing them. I ended up dancing for 3 hours straight and had to eventually take them off, but I lasted a lot longer than I thought I would. The insoles are still in the shoe as it would ruin the inside of the shoe if they were taken off.
Price can be negotiable. I waited for a sale at Nordstroms and was able to get these at a heavily discounted price of $152.
