Rank Answer

Swollen feet, increased sweating, hormonal changes, and back and leg aches are a few of the bodily changes you might experience. All of these issues can affect your feet, and consequently the shoes you are able to wear while you're pregnant.

What Pregnant Women Should Look for in Shoes

Flats, or low, wide heels - around 2" or lower.
Good arch support. This can be accomplish through buying from noted comfort shoe brands, or by using an insert that adds arch support.
Breathable uppers (canvas or leather) that won't trap moisture.
Shoes that slip-on, as laces may become more difficult to tie.
Larger or wider shoes -- swelling may make your regular size and width uncomfortable.

Additional Tips for Foot Care During Pregnancy

Wearing socks with closed-toe shoes may increase your comfort.
Avoid standing for long periods without a rest.
Elevate legs when possible, and if your feet are feeling extra achy, try soaking them.
