I am due in august and need some comfy shoes to get me thru summer. I wear orthotics in my tennis shoes so I need shoes that either can accommodate my orthotic or have a lot of arch support. I'd really like some cute sandal recommendations too that I can wear with summer dresses. My feet swelled pretty bad with first pregnancy. I appreciate your suggestions.
SAS sandals. I also had a pair of woven leather flats I wore when pregnant. The leather strips accomodated my swelling feet and seemed to allow some ventilation in the heat.
Clarks sandals! Get ones with heel straps.
Try Clarks.. they have a lot of cute sandals and flip flops! Very comfy with a lot of support! Not exactly cheap, but well worth it to me! Used them for my first pregnancy and now during my second! Good Luck!!
I had winter babies and wore my crocs a lot at the end--especially the last 6 weeks and in the hospital. I think they make sandals now too. But I love Clarks as well and wear them all the time pregnant or not.
If Dansko makes a low-heel sandal, that might be helpful. I found that the clogs were too high up and I lost my balance. Otherwise, try shoes that accommodate wider feet, like Keen's. They have some cute sandals. Or go to your nearest 'walking shoe's store at the mall. Some of their sizes might run a little narrow, but you might find something that works.
Check out orthaheel. It's a line of sandals/flip flops and slippers that have really good arch support. I wish I had known about them when I was pregnant.
Dansko clogs! Since you need summer shoes, look at their sandals. They have some cute ones that are also very supportive. They last forever and are worth every penny.
My American Eagle camo flip-flops, with a thick, foamy sole... so cute and comfy!
Birkenstocks! Comfy, supportive, open and loose for hot weather. They make clogs too if you want something close toed.
I got a lot of pedicures while pregnant to keep my feet comfortable and pretty too.
I loved my Birkenstocks. I purchased the ones with extra arch support. I wore them all last spring and summer. I couldn't have lived without them. I know that many women don't find them very flattering, but I have always been a Birkenstock kind of gal.
Flip flops never felt supportive enough and didn't seem to have any shock absorbancy.
I wanted my clogs to work, but I felt really unsteady going up and down stairs in them.
Happy shoe shopping!
Peace.
I bought sneakers at Kohl's that had no back, so I didnt have to bend down and tie them and they were super comfy. I wore them everywhere and with everything, no matter whether it was church or work or the zoo.
I bought a pair of Naturalizer flat dress shoes that are pretty cute (wearing them now at 33 weeks prego). I know they had sandals and stuff too! My suggestions are Naturalizer, Aerosoles, and Hush Puppies or Clarks for COMFORTABLE SHOES! Honestly when I was pregnant in the summers (this is baby #3 for me), I wore a lot sneakers/running shoes....
