Need spring shoes for later pregnancy

Don't care much if stylish or beautiful, but this seemed the best place to ask...

I'm 7 months pregnant and have worn the same pair of boots for many months now, they are warm and waterproof and have fur lining down to the toes and laces which do up half way up my calves so I can still just about reach to get them on.

Problem is they're becoming too hot, and I'm going to need something else for the last couple of months of pregnancy.

I'm pretty sure my feet are at least a size bigger than they were, so none of the shoes I already have are going to fit.

The only trousers I have that I can still wear are 2 pairs of jeggings - the boots nicely covered up the ankle but I'm not sure what to do about ankles if I now wear something shorter like trainers.

I am still cycling a lot so I need something with a reasonable amount of grip on the soles.

Achey feet so need a good thick sole and ideally room for thick insoles inside too - this is annoying as most cheap shoes have soles which are much too thin. I also have arthritis in my feet so this is dead important.

What on earth can I wear? (will probably buy from ebay 2nd hand to reduce cost)

Hi there, the only shoes I ended up being able to wear were Birkenstocks. I found some black closed toe (so no need to paint toenails!) patent leather ones and they were great as the insole was so supportive. Still wearing them 5 years on!
