As a parent who has been chasing around a toddler for over two years now while trying to look good, I’ve got a few comfy footwear options that I tend to have on rotation for my mommy days!
- Loafer – Luella by Foschini, R799; 2. Woven sandal by Exact, R129; 3. New Balance 9060, R3200; 4. Steve Madden Heels, R1400
The Loafer
This one is so underrated and yet it’s become a staple for me. Perfect for semi-formal events, or when you just feel like you want to look a bit more elevated.
The Elegant Flat Sandal
A must for those days spent in the sun where you don’t need to do a lot of walking. Perfect for kicking off at a picnic or chilled family gathering.
The “Dad” Sneaker
This one is for the runarounds, the aquarium visits, trips to the park and school drop off, but will also have you ready for a gym session! Petition to rename this style the Mom Sneaker. I can’t do without my New Balance, it takes me from playdates to my treadmill and on errands in between.
The Block Heel
When it’s a formal event and your little one is in tow, you need heels that can keep up. A black block heel is super versatile for this, and I’ve worn my particular pair on repeat when the occasion calls for it!
Investing in comfortable pairs in each of these categories will ensure you’re not sacrificing your style just to chase after your little ones. Sometimes, you CAN have it all!
