Shoe Recs for Pregnancy

Not getting much helpful feedback in my birth group, so hoping I have better luck here with peers who are also I Have a Podiatrist Now years old 😄 It's getting cold here and I need some good comfy supportive slip-on shoes! Have some sneakers, but I really want shoes I can kick on and off easily, especially for later in pregnancy. Also having a lot of back pain. I dislike Hokas for running, but I ended up getting a pair of their recovery slides on eBay after seeing a podiatrist for heel pain and now they're my everyday shoe. I refuse to pay over like $60 for anything besides running shoes though, and I can't find any of their slip-on models for that even secondhand. Usually not a sneaker person besides running, so not sure where to start. I may just have to suck it up and shell out for the Hokas. Maybe they'll have a good Black Friday Sale.

I believe sketchers sell a slip on shoe that doesn't require hand support to put them on

Vionic sandals. Shoes with Abeo insoles, esp boots. It’s all about insoles, mamma. Try out a free types. You can get stick-ons, 3/4 insoles, and ones you can mold to your foot (great for PF). I’m sure your pod already told you. Go to FootSmart if you haven’t and learn about the different types. Also for their sales. Vionic has their own site and they are the bomb. Also try Majabis - though they’re pricy, they’re worth it. They have a new clog and some slip-ons you can wear anywhere. I want to start a shoe store.

@Tia oh I forgot all about Sketchers, thanks! I used to like their line of work shoes when I waited tables.

@Krissa I'll look into the insoles, thanks! I've only tried random ones like Dr Scholl's and never found any that seem to make much difference. I moved states, so I do remember the podiatrist having some recommendations but of course they were all super spendy customized. Will have to see if there's a FootSmart around here. The local running group might have some good recs for a store too. Had a couple of great ones in Nashville. Moving is so exhausting to have to find all new everything!

I second the Skechers. They are so comfortable! They have a lot of good neutral options like gray or taupe…that look good with pretty much anything. I have a memory foam one right now that I love.
