‘I always knew these Loeffler Randall mules would be my wedding shoes, and I honestly built the rest of the look around them,’ she wrote for Mamamia.
‘They’re a popular choice for brides for a reason, thanks to their comfortable stacked heel and the material of the shoe which flexes to your foot. I didn’t buy a second pair for later because I knew they were boogie-friendly.
‘These were a big purchase, coming in at around $500 with a small discount from The Iconic. Yes, they were spendy, but I adore them and will wear them for years to come.’
The response from other brides has been similar, with one saying: ‘I wore the same to my wedding in pink – they made the outfit’.

Another said: ‘Perfect. I purchased these from the original inventor of this style (as these are a copy) for $500 and ended up sending them back, these ones are much more durable than the original brand’
‘Similar in style to a designer brand, definitely a more budget conscious alternative that I just love! They look great with almost any outfit and are great quality. I’m already planning to order more colour options.’

While the original shoes are said to be small in size, calling for women to size up from their regular choice, the Pink Inc’s option are considered true to size by reviewers.
The Secret Gold Metallic Sandals are also an option for the same price, with an ankle strap attached for extra support.
