Women’s occasion shoes and heels for weddings and celebrations
Find the finishing touch for a wedding outfit, party dress or smart trouser suit at Leavys Shoes. Compare court shoes, slingbacks and Mary Janes in finishes from classic black and navy to burgundy, silver and gold. Choose by fit, heel height and fastening as well as colour.
Start with the heel and toe shape
Check the heel height in the product details and choose a height you feel comfortable walking and standing in. A block heel has a broader base than a slim heel, while kitten heels offer a lower-profile look. Pointed, round and square toes give different amounts and shapes of space, even within the same size.
Wide-fit occasion shoes
Use the width filter on this page and check the fitting on each style. For example, compare the Jana Softline black wide-fit court shoes with the Jana Bordeaux wide-fit Mary Janes. A wide fitting does not replace a try-on: check for pressure at the toes and slipping at the heel.
Court shoes, slingbacks or a strap?
A closed-back court shoe, an open-heel slingback and a Mary Jane hold the foot differently. Adjustable buckles can help fine-tune the fit, while an elasticated strap has a different feel. Try the pair with the hosiery you intend to wear and check that your foot does not slide forward.
Silver and gold occasion shoes
Metallics are useful with both printed dresses and plain tailoring. Compare Emis silver leather block-heel slingbacks with Emis champagne gold leather court shoes. The product photos show the finish and detailing; each page lists its current sizes and material.
Choosing shoes for an upcoming event
Give yourself time to try both shoes indoors before the occasion. Use our brand size guides and shoe-fit checklist, or contact our Limerick team with the style names and fit you need.
Delivery in Ireland is free on orders of €69 or more. Check our delivery information against your event date and read the returns policy before wearing your shoes outside.
