Are you going to have someone available to tie your laces up for you as the pregnancy progresses, OP? I lived in Birkenstocks both times I was pregnant!

If not I wear Nike Blazers and Nike Court Legacies. They’re thinner soled so look better with dresses imo

Ha didn’t even think of this think last time I lived in flip flops as was a super hot summer I’m naughty though and don’t always untie my trainers and skip them on!!! Probably why they don’t always last!!!!! X

Loving those Gabor ones!

I have a pair of Victorias that are really comfortable for my high arches and have stayed white well

I really like these fairfax and favour but ££££ 😂https://www.fairfaxandfavor.com/products/the-alexandra?currency=GBP&gclid=CjwKCAjw3ueiBhBmEiwA4BhspOftfIMJucquwNrYysjhEohJGvGLMQs4a-owa1FOjC0qpKmwzvcOvxoCkcoQAvD_BwE

like the ballet style ones but sure I had some of the converse ones years ago and they hurt (wide feet & not much padding to the canvas)

I was going to recommend these. I have them and they’re stunning. Best pair of trainers I’ve ever bought. Very comfortable and super stylish, not too chunky either.

I'm a Stan Smith lover too.

I have some leather ones from White stuff. Like these only with a bit of animal print on the back instead of green https://www.whitestuff.com/accessories-and-shoes/womens-shoes/white-mlt-leather-suede-trainer/

Oh these are lovely and not expensive either r

I wear different coloured Addidas Gazelles/Sambas mostly in winter and in summer coloured lace up pumps, thouygh the cheap ones are invariably 'flat' inside so not comfortable for walking long.

Ive just bought a pair of cream Stan Smiths from the outlet for £24

FitFlop Rally. Like walking in air! Near minimal styling

Yup, I have these in plain white leather (I also have problem feet).
