Womens Silver Shoes

Women’s silver shoes for a wedding are a cool metallic: useful with grey, navy, black, white and pale blush. The shortlist here is small, in silver, platinum and pewter, from Tamaris, Josef Seibel, Hispanitas and our own Golden Boot shoes.

Comfortable women’s silver shoes are a fitting job, not a colour job. A women’s silver shoe in a low heel is what most guests can wear from the ceremony to the last dance, and we will check that on your foot in the shop.

 

Choosing silver shoes for women

What to look for

  • Silver shoes for a wedding guest in a heel you can stand in, usually low
  • A tone that matches the outfit: bright silver, platinum and pewter are different colours
  • A closed or secure back if the reception is on grass or an uneven floor
  • Enough length, because a metallic finish rarely stretches to oblige you

A small, careful edit

We would rather show you a few silver shoes that fit than a long rail of near misses. Stock moves. If the silver shelf is quiet, we will look at occasion shoes in a neighbouring colour and tell you plainly what we have. Josef Seibel, Tamaris and Hispanitas are the names to ask for, together with our Golden Boot label.

Fitting tips from our fitters

  • See it in two lights. Silver can look white under shop spots and cooler by a window.
  • Put the dress beside it. Pewter can disappear against grey, while a bright silver can shout.
  • Prefer a low heel on grass. A slim heel sinks. Tell us about the venue before we choose the shape.
  • Measure both feet. Silver shoes are fitted to the larger foot, same as any other pair.
  • Walk the shop. You want no pinch across the toes and no lift at the heel.

Frequently asked questions

Can you wear silver shoes to a wedding?

Yes, unless the invitation asks for a particular colour. Silver shoes are a normal choice for a guest, and they sit calmly with navy, grey, black, white and most pale dresses.

They can also work in a wedding party when the palette is cool. If the bride has asked for gold jewellery and warm ivory, a yellow gold shoe may sit closer than silver.

Are silver shoes classy?

A plain silver shoe in a low or modest heel is a long-standing evening style. The cut does the work: a clean toe and a secure fit look considered, while a shoe that pinches will not, however bright the finish.

We would rather talk about the heel and the fit than treat “classy” as a property of the colour alone.

What do silver shoes go with?

Cool colours first: navy, grey, black, white, ice blue and many printed dresses with a grey or blue ground. Silver jewellery agrees with them more readily than warm gold does.

If your bag is gold and your shoes are silver, the outfit splits in two. Choose one metal. Our fitters on Gabriel’s Hill in Maidstone can lay the shoe next to the bag. If silver is scarce, see our women’s gold shoes and wedding shoes for women.
