It's officially wedding season! More than a third of the nation's nuptials happen in September and October, says popular bridal site WeddingWire, with October taking the top spot. If you're attending a fall wedding — or saying your own "I do" — time's running out to find the perfect pair of wedding shoes.

But let's face it: wedding shoes have developed a reputation over the years as glorified torture devices. A stiff stiletto can make walking down the aisle a painful proposition. Strappy sandals that dig into your toes are less wedded bliss and more wedded blister.

So what if you want to radiate head-turning style and still be able to kick up your heels without kicking them off? We found 12 pairs of the most comfortable wedding shoes for the bride, her bridesmaids and even the mother of the bride — and most are on sale.
