The Shoes?

After a few weeks of waiting, I received my handmade (not by me) shoes.  Unfortunately, the first time I saw them was after being in the car for five hours (of horrible downpours and thunderstorms) and wasn't in the best state of mind.

I'm not 100% sure that these are The Shoes for the big day, but I still really like the fabric and overall idea...

These shoes are unbelievably comfortable, sort of a mix between being barefoot and walking on a bunch of cotton balls.  And, they are quirky and fun - they would fit right into our DIY love fest.

But, are they what I see myself walking down the aisle in?  I just can't seem to get my head around that yet.  I think I need a few more opinions before I make a decision, especially since my FI (the only person who's seen them and voiced concerns) dislikes ballet flats.

I guess it gives me the opportunity to spend more time looking at shoes...  Can't really complain about that.  I just need to make sure I have something soon so that I can make my fitting appointments (once my dress comes in... when is that going to happen!?!).

Did you pick out The Shoes on your first try?  Or, did you start a collection of shoes and make the decision closer to (or on) the day of the wedding?  And, like me, did you agonize over the shoes because nothing you saw seemed quite right?
