Your graduation shoes play two important rols on your graduation day.

First, avoiding that ever embarrassing moment of tripping on stage.

And second, for much of the day, it’s the only part of your outfit anyone else will see, so you want to choose the right pair of shoes.

To help you in your search for the perfect grad shoe I picked out a few of my favorites.

As you try to decide what shoes you wear to graduation I recommend looking for something practical but stylish. Stick to shoes you can walk in comfortably.

Many people don’t account for how much time you’ll spend standing around at your ceremony. Before the ceremony starts you’ll probably be standing around waiting to walk in.

Then after the ceremony there’s visiting with friends and a plethora of pictures, which means more standing.

Tips for Choosing Graduation Shoes

  • You may want to avoid stilettos, especially if you’ll be walking around on grass.
  • Consider wearing shoes with ankle straps for added support.
  • Wedges are an excellent choice since they’re easier to walk in.
  • Don’t be afraid to wear flats, you won’t be the only one.

Wedges for Graduation

Like I said above, I think wedges are the all around best graduation shoe. They’re comfortable, they’re much easier to walk in then pumps, and they can look great with many outfits. Here’s a few of my favorites.

Graduation Heels

If you feel confident rocking heels at your graduation go for it. There are so many cute pumps it’s hard to just pick a few but any of these would make for great graduation shoes.

And don’t worry about matching your shoes to your graduation gown/hat. I think using your shoes to add a pop of color to that outfit is perfect.
