I Want My Dream Bridal Shoes＊

Future brides, have you decided on your bridal shoes? While bridal shoes can be rented, many people choose to "buy" them because of potential size mismatches＊

Nowadays, many brides aspire to “buy good bridal shoes to wear for a lifetime!” Brands like Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, and Salvatore Ferragamo are indeed dream brands…!

Are You Adding a Sole Protector to Your Bridal Shoes?

To all the future brides who have acquired their dream high-end shoes like Louboutin and Jimmy Choo, I have a question for you. "Did you add a sole protector to your shoes...?"

Adding a sole protector is actually very important, but many people say they didn't know this because they have never bought high-end brand shoes! Today, I will introduce the method and benefits of adding a sole protector to your shoes＊

Make Your Bridal Shoes Last a Lifetime♡ "What Is a Sole Protector?"

A sole protector is a protective layer made of rubber or similar material applied to the bottom of the shoe to reinforce it＊ The soles of leather shoes tend to wear down as you wear them…! Especially for high-end heels, the construction is delicate, prioritizing beauty, so the soles are thinner than regular shoes. Therefore, applying rubber to the shoe sole makes it sturdier◎

Make Your Bridal Shoes Last a Lifetime♡ "What Are the Benefits of a Sole Protector?"

The benefits of applying a sole protector to bridal shoes include not only "reinforcing the sole" but also "making them easier to walk in"◎ Since the bottom of the shoes is made of rubber, it helps with slip resistance and absorbs shock from the ground, making it easier on your feet♡

Make Your Bridal Shoes Last a Lifetime♡ "When Should You Apply a Sole Protector?"

There are two times to apply a sole protector to heels. One is right after buying the shoes, and the other is after wearing them a few times.

Applying a sole protector right after purchasing the shoes results in a neater finish＊ Some stores even offer sole protection services right at the point of purchase, so it’s convenient♡

The benefit of applying a sole protector after wearing the shoes a few times is that “the shoes adapt to your feet.” Once you apply the sole protector, the shoes become fixed, making it less likely to conform to your foot shape. It’s said that the leather of the heels will mold to the shape of your foot after wearing them, so some people prefer to apply the sole protector afterward♡ A disadvantage is that you won’t be able to wear brand-new shoes on the day of your wedding…

Either way, it’s important to have your wedding shoes with a properly applied sole protector ready by the wedding day♡

Make Your Bridal Shoes Last a Lifetime♡ "Where to Apply a Sole Protector?"

You can have a sole protector applied to bridal shoes at a shoe repair shop＊ Prices vary by store, typically ranging from 2000 to 5000 yen♩ It’s attractive to be able to make your lifelong wedding shoes tough and easy to wear for such a price♡ While many shoe repair shops offer this service, it’s more reassuring to go to one located in a department store◎

It seems that Louboutin has official repair stores in Paris and London＊ They receive sole protector requests from all over the world and reportedly have a waiting time of about a month and a half…! But the red sole protector with the Louboutin logo is truly adorable♡

Add a Sole Protector to Your Bridal Shoes and Wear Them for a Lifetime♡

Good shoes can last a long time with the right care＊ You surely want to wear those beautiful wedding shoes on special occasions, such as anniversaries…♡

There’s a saying that “good shoes take you to good places”◎ Regardless of whether they are bridal shoes, good shoes should be properly maintained to help you enjoy them for a long time＊
