Does flat shoes ruin an outfit?

http://www.allyfashion.com/shop/dresses-playsuits/48026-floral-print-wrap-skirt-dress.htmlHello ladies and gents,

I have bought this fab dress but I struggle in wearing high shoes.

My feet will burn after about 30 minutes and I do be so uncomfortable I just want to go home

The question is :

Would you wear flats with this dress? if so what kind?

(Side note: Occasion is a hen party on a boat!)

I think it depends on your legs!!!

These could work with that dress:

Could you get some kitten heels? Or pointy flats to make it look dressier.

Can you wear wedges? They might work well with that dress.

Dress is gorgeous. I think you would only get away with the like of ballerina flats if you had long slim legs. Maybe a pair of dressy sandals, even flat ones. As someone had suggested a pair of wedges, just make sure they don't look too clunky!

That is darling. A pair of dressy sandals would be oh-so-appropriate on a boat. I can do no better than this image of "shoes to wear on a cruise": https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/1e/87/b2/1e87b2932561d334f3e2eb89d29c23dd.jpg

I personally don't think flat shoes ruin an outfit, that said, I only ever wear flats, never heels. I'm not in anyway tall either, and don't think flats look awful/bad on me or with certain outfits. I think you're better off wearing flat shoes and being comfortable rather than being in obvious discomfort and pain in heels.

I think a nice pair of hot pink flat sandals would go great with that dress, the pink shoes would pick up the pink in the dress.

I personally would avoid closed toe flats though, I just think sandals would look much nicer with it.

These are nice too, not sure how well the colour would go with the dress, I'm sure it'd be lovely, but I do think that hot pink would be a better colour match.

Slightly off topic but I can't wear synthetic heels, I have an issue with my knees and it causes my foot to roll slightly, means I always have friction between my foot and shoe. I can only wear leather heels anything else and my feet burn and blister really quickly. Might be worth trying leather heels, I find M&S and Buffalo great (Buffalo website has great sales).
Aside from that some lovely sandals suggested would go great with that dress.

A nice pair of dressy sandals, with a little height/wedge would go beautifully with that dress. I just wouldn't go completely flat (unless you have knock out legs) or too casual. Lovely dress

I'd also consider a shrug/cardigan/scarf as it might be chilly out there on the water.

I dont wear heels due to many knee surgeries and for dressy dresses I always have a hard time.

However, I have procured a nice comfortable pair of sandals shaped like this:


And they work, while still mostly flat.
