It's official - I can no longer reach my feet to do up my laces. Can anyone recommend some comfy slip on shoes?

With DD I bought stretchy running laces and put them on my trainers loosely so I could just slip my feet in and out. And I love my crocs.

Converse laceless all-star trainers - super comfy. I have yet to have an excuse of not reaching my feet, but I live in mine.

Next ballet pumps - I got 2 pairs a few weeks ago.

I swear by Hush Puppies ballet pumps! Sound like Granny shoes, but they're really not. Schuh sell them in a variety of styles and I've pretty much worn nothing else since getting pregnant.They're really comfy and don't look too bad if you need to wear them for work.

i really like \link{http://www.office.co.uk/womens/office/educated_loafer/30/12170/34151/1?fs=12170\these} much more trendy in rl!

Crocs! I have flip flops (baya?) .

Thanks for all the recommendations - think I'm going to need ones which are also waterproof!

My fitflop clogs are very comfy. I wish I'd had them when I was pregnant, rather than the normal fitflop sandals.

My mum and nan both swear by hotter shoes, they do loads of slip on one's that would be winter proof.

LarkinSky · 25/09/2012 13:42

And following on from shoe recommendations, can anyone recommend winter boots that slip on fairly easily for heavily pregnant types / will also double-up for pushing pram & newborn around over the winter?

I don't mind whether ankle boots or longer... I think I can still manage zips if need be.

Do FitFlop do boots? (I'm off to google...)

Also I need good grips on the soles so I don't slip over (lack of balance in third trimester emoticon)

Sketchers make some really good trainers with no laces that just slip on. They're really good - feel comfy like slippers, look quite cool, and are proper shoes/trainers rather than flipflops (not gonna cut it in this weather!).

I have been living in one pair of black sketchers since about week 12, and am now week 30!

PragmaticWench · 26/09/2012 06:37

Lark you can always take shoes or boots to the cobbler and have a winter sole added for extra grip. It's not that expensive and has the bonus effect of making your shoes last longer.

I found quite a good range in m&s

ThreeWheelsGood · 26/09/2012 11:33

Has anyone else found they no longer fit into their shoes?! I hope my feet return to their previous size after I give birth... I'm wearing my only slip on pair which fit and sandals when the weather allows.
