Urgent help: Autumn shoes

ramya

Post pregnancy my feet size has changed and none of my shoes fit. I just have one pair of sneakers for my daily use that fits me. Can you fab ladies help me put together a list of 3-4 types of shoes that I must buy immediately?

For your reference I am a mother to an 8 month old on maternity leave. My day involves lot of stroller pushing and baby carrying. Oh I live in Norway

I think you need to think what you're gonna pair the shoes with. You may need something different for wear with diff lengths/types of pants, skirts, etc.

My shoe size changed with pregnancy as well! I'd go for a comfortable pair of leather sneakers, a pair of black booties to wear with jeans and pants, and a pair of comfy ballet flats or loafers to use as a dressy option.

Thanks abc. I am a 100% denim girl now. Just so convenient . And I have nothing other than skinnes in my closet at the moment. And I see them remaining so for near future.

Thank you Linda. That's a nice start

I'd start with a basic ballet flat and a slip on sneaker, then maybe add an ankle boot for cooler temps.

Warm, waterproof walking booties are the first priority I think. Slip on loafers because SAHM is in and out a lot. Then something fun and completely new and different, because your mood is important too!

I have this same problem - and my feet grew 1/2 size with each baby!

Here are some options that I have or am considering getting for fall.

Skechers Bikers (very comfortable, streamlined, easy slip on)

Skechers Mary Jane (very comfortable, a little chunky with skinnies so it depends on your style)
http://www.amazon.com/Skechers.....l&...

Superga

Unisex 2750 Cotu Classic

Sneaker (I just ordered these but can't speak to their comfort yet)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....e_6&s...

Franco Sarto 'Linden' Leather Bootie (I want these - hoping for a sale soon

Børn 'Pirlo' Boot (Women)

(I want these - hoping for a sale soon

Earthies® 'Bindi' Flat (my local comfort shoe store recommended these as the most comfortable ballet flat they've ever seen)

Vans (so many colors and patterns - canvas, suede and leather! comfortable, no break in period - just need a no-show sock at first)

Agree with Shevia - warm weather proof walking booties/boots first. Which shoe size do you wear now?

How about these? I really liked to wear my Ecco Goretex boots, they kept my feet nice and dry.

And these, on sale? Might be a fun addition.

In Norway? Booties for sure!! Forget the flats -- you won't have long to wear them except in summer and your needs may have changed by then. I think Ecco are a good idea if the last works for your foot.

I'd go for booties and then knee high boots (for tucking your skinnies into).

That will probably take your entire budget right there.
