LL’s Staff Pregnancy Shoes for Summer

Now that you’re expecting, your feet aren’t just carrying you, they’re carrying baby, too! Three-quarters of pregnant women will experience swollen and achy feet. And guess what? The heat of the summer makes matters worse.

Without further ado, here’s a list of our fave summer shoes to wear during pregnancy.

Rothy’s, The Flat ~ $125

These flats from Rothy’s are all the rage, lately — I mean, even Meghan Markle sports them! And guess what… they’re actually a great option for pregnant mamas. These knit shoes are basically gloves for your feet and will take you from sun-up to sundown in comfort and in style! Plus, we love that they’re totally suitable for work! And as if you needed more convincing, they are sustainable and made through a 3D knitting process using post-consumer plastic water bottles. How cool is that!?

Adidas Swift Run Sneakers ~ $85

If you like the athleisure look, these Adidas kicks are for you. They are sleek but still have enough room for your expanding feet. The upper is stretchy and socklike, which means they’re easy to slide on — a major plus when your bump gets in the way of your feet. These are truly a gift if you are often on your feet and on the go.

Fitflop Loosh Luxe Leather Slides ~ $250

Chunky sandals are in this summer, and if you like staying on trend with a bump, we’ve got the shoe for you: The Fitflop Loosh Luxe slider. These shoes feature a buttery soft leather upper, a built-in arch support, and the brand’s super-cushioned microwobbleboard midsoles. The technology helps absorb shock and diffuse underfoot pressure. Because your hard-working pregnant feet are worth it. If you don’t like chunky, check out their other styles!

Birkenstock Arizona ~ $134

We know you know about Birkenstocks, but… Did you know about their Soft Footbed collection? Let us tell you: they are heavenly. They provide the arch support that Birkenstock shoes all provide, but with an extra cushioning that your overworked feet will welcome. Plus, if your feet swell during pregnancy, you can adjust the upper buckles to give them more room.

Dansko Maci ~ $139

This easy-to-slide-on clog from Dansko will complete and brighten your summer look. I love that they are both stylish and supportive all at once, and the leather-wrapped block heel is a nice touch that elevates the classic clog look. The footbed has memory foam, so you know your feet will be taken care for.

Avarcas Pons ~ $85

I lived in my Pons throughout my pregnancy, and I still live in them now, 2 years postpartum. These shoes aren’t just easy to slide on (perfect for expecting moms who can’t bend over to tie shoes anymore), the leather also stretches to mold to your feet, which means that no matter how swollen they get, your feet will have the room they need. The Pons Avarcas are extremely versatile — you can wear them with jeans, dresses, shorts… anything! Don’t like coral? Don’t worry — these come in 26 shades (and even in a vegan version).

Teva Hurricane Drift ~ $39

If you’re planning on getting a little adventurous this summer, you can opt for the Teva Hurricane Drift. They are waterproof and stand up to the elements. Plus the hook-and-loop closures allow you to adjust the shoes to your feet for the perfect, secure fit. The cushioned heel is super comfortable — perfect to wear all day long with your bump tagging along.

Toms Venice Collection ~ $49

TOMS are basically slippers, except you can take them out on the street. So let’s just say, your pregnant-mama feet need them. The canvas is supple and stretches to mold your foot; plus you can easily fold the back down for a more open fit. I love their Venice collection with the stripes lining; and I particularly love the mustard color — a nice pop of color with an all white or all denim look.
