Smart shoes for pregnancy?

I work in an office and can't do heels now, and I'm getting bigger and more uncomfortable with a bit of SPD so I need new shoes. Flat and supportive and hopefully stretchy as my feet are starting to swell a bit with a couple more months to go. Any suggestions?

I bought hush puppies I know a bit expensive but they lasted the whole pregnancy and were very comfy. I did get a very small block heel with strap over middle of the shoe. I think they do flat with small wedge heel also.

I had a pair of fitflop shoes that lasted me until maternity leave, similar to these:

Definitely go for something cushioned and a bit stretchy. Might even be worth considering asking for the dress code to be relaxed so you can wear trainers if you are struggling with SPD. It’s all about comfort!

Thanks, will have a look at both brands. Bumping for more suggestions! Reckon a slip on style is better as less bending to tie laces?

Depends how much you are willing to spend. A nice pair of loafers could work well. Most places have them in for autumn and you can go super expensive at places like Russell and Bromley or more affordable on places like asos. Something relatively sturdy with a minimal heel (like a cm or 2) though and definitely not a ballet flat which will just make your feet and back hurt!

I got some like the below but in metallic gold in the sale a few weeks ago for £20! My DH hates them but I love them, comfy and interesting if I'm not wearing heals! They have good cushioning but I also wear insoles for various other issues.
Also slip on all the way, at 27 weeks bending down is getting tricky....
