Best Shoes For Stay At Home Moms

If you know me, then you know I have an obsession with Birkenstock shoes. I love them, my feet love them and they can pair with just about anything.

Hands down, the best shoes for stay-at-home moms are Birkenstock, but I will also list a few other options.

Birkenstock Arizona Eva Sandal- The Eva sandal is a fantastic option for stay-at-home moms for a few reasons. One, they are less expensive than the other Arizona Birkenstocks and Birkenstocks in general. 

Two, considering we are on our feet for most of the day, Eva provides great comfort. Three, they come in lots of cool colors to fit everyone’s individual style.

  • Wear them inside or outside.
  • Water play with your kids? No problem! They are waterproof.
  • Super easy to clean.
  • Vegan.

Speaking from experience, I can confidently say Birkenstock are some of the best shoes for pregnant moms. Why? Because the adjustable straps are perfect for your growing/swollen feet.

Cushionaire Slide Sandals- The Cushionaire slide sandals are not only easy on the wallet but they are currently all the rave. There are 20 fun colors to choose from.

Why are these a good choice for stay-at-home moms on the move? Because they are non-slip with a foam sole, which would be comforting for us mamas always on our feet.  

They are also waterproof. Slide them on and wear them to the pool, beach, or during outside water play with your kids.

The bonus is the Cushionaire feather recovery slide sandals are trendy and for the price, you truly can’t go wrong!

Indoor/Outdoor Furry Slippers- Cute mom house shoes that can be worn indoors or outdoors are Spesoul furry slides. These slides come in over 10 plus colors.  

They are super cute with leggings or jeans. If you are dressing the bump, these are especially cute with a tank dress. You’ll be cute and comfortable.

Veja Scribble High-Top Sneakers- The coolest Veja Sneakers that have come out thus far! They literally look like one of your kids scribbled all over them in different color markers. With black, purple, and blue ink.
