I Wore the Wrong Shoes to a Wedding—and Lived to Tell the Tale

Let me set the scene: rooftop ceremony, string quartet, signature cocktails. I’m in the outfit—you know, the one I’ve mentally moodboarded for weeks. The shoes? Pointed, patent, and aggressively unsupportive. By hour two, I’m plotting how to fake a bathroom emergency just to take them off.

Weddings are marathons disguised as parties. You stand through the vows. You hover during cocktail hour. You sprint to the photo booth. Then, when the DJ drops “September,” your arches whisper, “Why have you forsaken me?”

That night, I learned a lesson: never let aesthetics outrun alignment. Especially when Groov Luxe exists—insoles designed to make your hot shoes actually bearable. Thin enough to hide, smart enough to support, they’re the real plus-one you should’ve RSVP’d for.

Next time? I’ll be on the dance floor when the lights come on, still in my shoes—and still standing.
