Shoes! (The comfortable kind)

Okay ladies, for those who don't know, it is very common for your feet to grow a size or two during pregnancy, due to the relaxin hormone (they often go back to your old size, but they often don't). They also start to swell quite a bit.
Anybody have any good, comfy shoes they love and would recommend? STMs+, anything that really worked for you last time?
At least we will all be our biggest during summer, so sandals will allow our feet to expand a bit!

Bass was great for ankle booties, they had the most comfortable footbed that was wider than some.
And a good pair of low wooden clogs -- they are great for warm dry and warm wet weather, and roomy enough that they shouldn't constrict your feet if they spread a bit.
For sandals.. I'd go with a flat cork sole that molds to your feet for support and comfort. Berks are great but $$, I found some cute flat cork sandals at Target a few years ago that I live in every summer.
They are expensive, but they last for years (aside from getting them re-soled). I've had mine a year and they look brand new. What's also cool is they are handmade in Turkey and you get a little card with a picture/bio of the person who made them.
Sorry... I swear I don't work for them. These shoes are just about my favorite thing I own, and I'm really passionate about them. haha

This is my confession. This is the one thing I am terrified of the MOST about pregnancy. That my feet will get bigger and stay that way. I'm already a size 11 and just barely. I CANNOT have my feet get any bigger. There won't be any shoes for me!
I absolutely love Cobb Hill shoes. I have these really cute T-straps that are my go-to work shoe. They are so comfy with a nice block heel, great support inside, supple leather for no blisters, a little breathing room, and they are cute as heck. I have worn them all day to Disneyland a couple of times. That is how comfy they are. They rival my tennis shoes.
I also have the Skechers Flex Lightweight shoes. Those are my other theme park shoes. They have the super soft memory foam bottoms but still enough support. They are comfy and simple.
Those are my 3 most go-to shoes. My Cobb Hill, Skechers, and Birks. I cannot WAIT for summer to be able to wear flip flops or my Birks. I am hating having to tie my shoes right now. And I know that is just going to get worse.
I've been wearing my ugg hard sole slippers as shoes most days lol. Can't wait to switch to sandals soon! I also have a pair of sperry's that I'll be wearing a lot as soon as it's warm enough. Not the traditional boat shoes but more of a slip on sneaker style. They are really comfy and easy to put on!

But for summer time, for an open-toed look, I went with something like these last time. It was Rockport brand, expect the middle of the gladiator was tie-up so I could loosen the shoe if my feet swelled a little. These were great because of the zip in the back, I could get them on myself while pregnant.

I've been the same size through both pregnancies and have never not been able to wear my regular shoes.
@ccmama3 You seriously cannot beat the price/style/comfort combo
@mamanbebe
i have these but I think a different color. I wanted the ankle strap because if you don’t have an ankle strap, they make you take them off on some theme park rides.

+1 for Birks... I wear mine all summer long. Also +1 for Toms. My slip on Toms are so comfy.
I am also size 11 ... so my feet CANNOT grow anymore haha. I feel ya @hakale
Currently I'm rocking my Mukluks out and about (will winter EVER end?!) and at work I have some flats and little booties I switch to.
@nopegoat - I also have lots of Crocs, but they are like the flats and jelly shoes. I love the bright colors!
Cheap flops all the way for - mainly because I've never been able to afford pricey shoes. I love me some payless, don't get me started on the closure.
I will be rocking Walmart sandals as soon as summer gets here, as well as some new sneakers because dogs keep chewing mine up. I may gift myself cheap slip on sneakers so I am not trying to bend over and tie shoes.
@hakele UGH I heard about the blizzard coming to the states just south of us! I think we are getting the very tail end of it and expecting 2-4 inches tonight/tomorrow. I think we've been hit hard enough!
I also found Vionics to be great for lots of walking- they were my Disney shoes last time.
And toms. Gotta love em.
