This will be my first Summer-long pregnancy. I've been shopping around high and low, here and there, for things that will make my life easier.

I love wearing flip-flops but I realize that the flat, foam ones I bought last year are not quite the right ones to be wearing while my pregnant belly continues to grow. Therefore, I began searching for supportive sandals. These will help me stay cool AND support my ever-changing body.

So what did I find? (Mind you, I have yet to buy them. I should get on that, huh?)
I found these beauties: Athens sandals made by Crocs. (These are the 3 colors I would love to own.)

 

Canvas  & Turquoise

 

Charcoal & Cotton Candy

 

 Pearl & Turquoise

I would wear these with any and everything. I promise. I love the way the shoe holds your foot and is as comfortable as a slipper.

I wear a size 7~7 1/2. Who's buying? ;) 

(I'm trying to decide which shade I should buy first just in case they are the ONLY ones I am able to buy.)

Hmmmm.

What color would you buy? 

Any other tips on supportive, summer shoes for pregnant women?

Do you have a little "walker" or "runner" in your home? I have found some fantastic footwear for the little one in your life. SkidDERS go on like a sock and have the support and traction of a tennis shoe. What's even more amazing about these shoes? They're only $17.99 in stores. 

My son was given 2 pair of SkidDERS to try out. These styles were "Sneaker Blue" and "Black".

 

 

Alex loves running around in these. I love them because I know his foot is properly supported and the traction will keep him from slipping.

 

 

Are they not adorable? There are many other cute styles to choose from for little boys and little girls alike.  Also, these shoes are available in US sizes 4-8.

Michael Matalon, the president of SkidDERS, has this to say about the idea behind the shoes.

"Skidders was designed with infants in mind. The outsole is rubber so the child can have better traction when learning to stand and walk. The upper material is knit so the foot can breath. It is lightweight, machine washable and comes in a variety of designs that can match with any outfit. The best feature is that it can be used indoors and outdoors. I believe it is a far superior product than what currently exists in the marketplace."

Dear, Mr. Matalon, thank you for designing such brilliant footwear and for making it so affordable. Not only are SkidDERS more durable and breathable, but they're also far less expensive than the leather soled shoes on the market. You've met a need with the idea of SkidDERS and have made them inexpensive. THANK YOU!

P.S. I have a design idea you may like. :)

We are very happy with our SkidDERS and hope you'll try them out too. They can be bought in a number of stores. My favorite of those, is buybuyBABY.
