How do put your shoes on?

I'm only 23+3 but I'm really struggling to put my shoes on let alone tie my shoelaces, so sometimes I just wear my crocs out and about when I can't face the hassle! Is this how crocs make all their money? Just a ton of pregnant women who can't put their shoes on? 😂 Seriously though, crocs are no good for a long walk with the dog in the winter...

Definitely get a long handled shoe horn. You’ll use it for life as it stops the back of the shoes/trainers treading down and rubbing against your ankle. Shoes go on quicker as well.

@MiracleBaby2022 haha the struggle is real!!! Luckily with my last he was a summer baby so live in flip flops. The time before was a winter baby so I had boots that I could poke my feet in and wriggle about until my feet went in. I had a huge bump so the logistics of laces just didnt work lol I'm 16 weeks with baby 3 and already bending is getting trickier! Xx

@Ocsetldil I actually have one! Just need to dig it out of the cupboard 👍🏼👍🏼

Elastic laces - that worked for me

I’m 32 weeks and REALLY feel this. I want to start wearing my winter boots but they’re laces and don’t just slide on. I’m not sure it’s gonna happen 😭

@sociallydistained I wear proper hiking shoes every day walking my dog and they're quite difficult to get on and off already, I can't even imagine what it'll be like when I get to 32 weeks! I might try elastic laces on mine and just leaving them laced up. That and a long shoe horn (which I have yet to find in my cupboard). Might work? 🤗
