Comfy Shoes for Pregnant Women

During my first and second trimester, I've been able to wear most of my shoes, preferably the low or flat-heeled comfy ones. 

However, as I entered my third trimester, I feel a lot heavier and thus my footwear choices are becoming limited. 

Here are my current dependable ones:

1. SLIP-ON SNEAKERS - Easy to wear, comfortable, and low-heeled. But, not all slip-on sneakers are reliable. Some are heavy weight, and have hard sole and thick heels. Better look for light ones with flexible heels. Personally, I like the following:

a. Roxy Minnow

b. Lacoste Maurice

c. Lauren by Ralph Lauren Janis

d. Vans Asher

2. LOAFERS - Comfortable, easy to wear, low-heeled, and has a variety of choices and colors for more serious occasion to casual getaways. Here are some brands to consider, tested for comfort: Crocs, Naturalizer, Cole Hann.

Although, I find my MK and Coach loafers comfy, too. I think most loafers with soft leather and flexible soles are comfortable enough. I find Sperry's a bit tight during this time. But, if you have narrow feet, they might work for you.

3. SANDALS - Breathable, easy to wear, perfect for warm weather, no socks required. I personally prefer those with wider footbed since the feet tend to swell during pregnancy. Also, slides and no-buckle slingbacks are prefered, too. It is not easy to bend down and adjust buckles when you get in and out of your sandals. Here are some brands to consider:

a. Aerosoles 

b. Fitflop

c. Crocs

d. Birkenstock

4.RUBBER SHOES/ SNEAKERS - There are days when I want my feet covered and secured, and rubbershoes and sneakers are my go-to shoes. My only  struggle are the laces. Bending down and tying them up is not that easy. As a remedy, I bought some non-tie, stretchable laces for my sneakers. For my rubber shoes, I just knot them on each side so I can slip in and out of them easily. 

I like my Adidas Adipure and Nike Kaishi. They are both lightweight, breathable, and roomy enough for me. 

For my sneakers, my Converse and Vans are comfortable enough. During this time I find Keds too tight, and Superga a bit heavy.
