Although they are often overlooked, your feet need a new maternity wardrobe just like your waistline. Good, comfortable, supportive shoes are one of the best investments you can make when you're pregnant. Somehow, you'll find that you're on your feet more than you'd like, especially if you have kids already.
Here are some tips to finding happy shoes for your new feet:
Go in the afternoon when your feet are likely to be their largest, so you can be sure to buy the right size.
Try on different heel heights if you are buying work or evening wear shoes. You would be surprised to know that many pregnant women find that a 1-2" heel actually relieves the pressure on their lower back.
Go shopping when you have time to try on and walk around in your new shoe candidates. Don't try and make this purchase when you are rushed or have your other kids in tow. Believe it or not, shoes are a very important piece of your maternity wardrobe.
