When it comes to wedding shoes, there are a million issues.

The bride wants her shoes to be as special as the rest of her ensemble. The bridesmaids' shoes need to go with their gowns, but not every woman is comfortable in the same style shoe, presenting a huge challenge.

Oh, and now that shorter dresses are in style, even more challenging!

Nina has a solution -- Design Your Own shoes. You get to choose from three styles: "Palada," "Electra" or "Culver," two or three heel heights (depending on style) and a wide range of colors. You can even select different colors for the heel, upper and bow or toe detail.


Brides are raving, and rightfully so. Where else can you design your own shoes (and get them back in a month) for under $200? Bright colors are a big bridal trend right now, according to Nina CEO Scott Silverstein, and this is the perfect way for brides to get exactly what they want.

Just don't go too overboard or you'll rival the cake!

And it's not just for brides, either. If you want a pair of customized shoes, you know, just because, we won't tell. Because we want them, too!
