Non Frumpy Shoes for Swollen Feet/Ankles

So, I'm 34 weeks and my feet and ankles have swollen up like balloons after a couple of days on my feet with DD. I can get them to go back down a little if I really elevate them and cool them down but I'm guessing this could be the reality until DS arrives in 5 weeks.

Any ideas on non frumpy shoes I could buy in the meantime? I spent yesterday in my Birkenstocks in the office which were pretty comfy and no entirely horrid (although a little odd in February!) and for anything outdoors I can wear my Uggs. But I'm usually quite cool so feeling a little sad about it all. In a week I'd be in anything from loafers, ballet pumps, mid heel courts through to Nike Air Max and Chelsea Boots.

If anyone has any ideas I'd be truly grateful.

Just checking that you are getting appropriate ante-natal care. Suddenly swollen ankles or feet need to checked out . Please do so ! And I hope you can get some help with your dc to allow you to keep off your feet a bit.
On a more helpful note, Ecco is a good brand for comfortable flat shoes (you have to search the range but there are some that wearable !) must be tough when you are obviously very stylish ! John Lewis have a decent selection of flat pumps too, with lots of "give" in them .

Yes, thank you. I had my blood pressure checked during an appointment this week and last. Actually being with DD that much is unusual - it was her birthday so we had some days out. I'm usually at work full time.

I'll have a look at the two recommendations. Thank you!
