Genuinely stylish slip on casual shoes

13 replies

Namechange128 · 15/06/2018 14:29

Do you know the perfect slip on shoes? I'm heavily pregnant and finding bending hard, plus with DD1 and 2 I found slip-ons were much better when you've got a baby in a sling.
However, most of the ones I've found are either very frumpy (a la Merrells) or very unsupportive (like loafers).

Any great ideas for something I can wear non stop with jeans and summer skirts? I'm 31, size 8, would usually dress from All Saints, &Other Stories, Zara. Very short but with quite big and flat feet so need some support and nothing too clompy.

I'm not sure where on your frump-o-meter they would fall but I've just bought a pair of Timberland sensorflex leather boat shoes and they are wonderful. Super supportive, light as a feather, slip on but rich brown leather so they don't look like trainers. I've been channeling a Nantucket-y preppy vibe and wearing them with skirts and shorts.

I have an old pair of blue Timberland Earthkeepers as well which are great, but not as supportive as the Sensorflex ones.

Palmairas? Either the flats or low wedges

At this time of year espadrilles. Can be bought cheap as chips and I think they are so laid back and summery.

i actually have croc flip flops. I bought them in the US. I love them, much nicer than fit flops that look cumbersome.

I'm 33 weeks and have got some birkenstock arizonas with the soft footbed. They're gold so will go with everything, and have space for my expanding feet! But maybe they wouldn't meet your definition of non clompy :)

Sliders are really in at the minute, I have tons! Just have a look on asos they have 100s of variations and so comfy

Thank you! These are great. Does anyone have any good trainer type shoes either? I'd love an alternative to my stan smiths!

I have these from M&S in blue and they slip-on easily. I have wide feet but these fit well in my normal size rather than having to go one size up.

Menorca sandals

Comfortable and chic

Seasalt were selling them last year and I’ve seen them in other places
If you know anyone going to Menorca ask them to buy some for you there, much cheaper!
