Maternity Dress: Shoes For Maternity

To walk comfortably during pregnancy?? How??

It is important. Why?

It may become a temptation to keep your same old shoes during the entirety of your pregnancy, however that should not be common practice. While most women won't notice a change until later in their pregnancy, it is important to keep almost constant tabs on your foot health.

This is especially true when your baby bump becomes larger, and begins to put more pressure on your lower back. Finding the right pair of shoes not only has the ability to make you feel better physically, but can be added as an accessories to your favorite outfit. One of the most tale tell signs that you are ready for a new pair of shoes, is that your previous pair seems to be getting a little tight. I would suggest to not ignore your body's warning, as this can lead to longer and more uncomfortable recovery from the problems caused by poor fitting shoes.

While most women consider their maternity wear during pregnancy with a harsh view, many seem to neglect an every day necessity. It is important during your pregnancy to find a properly fitting and well supported maternity shoe during your pregnancy months. According to the American College of foot and ankle surgeons, it is suggested that pregnant women wear square toed shoes; because they offer extra room. They also highly suggest that you opt for shoes that have a broad, low heel since ballet flats and moccasins may not be the best choices due to the lack of ankle support. It is suggested that you have your foot size checked after the fifth or sixth month of pregnancy; as the ligaments within the foot of a pregnant woman will begin to soften, and may become up to a half size bigger which will make older shoes tight. It has also been speculated, that a decent pair of shoes that aids in circulation may help to prevent varicose veins as well; there are multiple reasons for you to consider making your next purchase of shoes throughout your pregnancy process.

It is a misconception that you need to steer clear of a heel during pregnancy, however a slight heel on your shoe tends to be better for your posture. They also tend to be far better on your back than either a high heel or the totally flat shoes such as a ballet flat. I would suggest purchasing shoes that are made of either leather or canvas, as they allow your feet to breath well. While shopping for your maternity shoes, you may wish to consider athletic shoes as they provide good support for the arches, and heels of your feet; and tend to lend themselves well to both home or work environments.
