Practical and Stylish Shoes for an Active Mom
When Shona shared her need for practical and stylish shoes, she said that the shoes should be able to withstand the test of time and children. Shona received 10 suggestions for shoes that might meet her need, including:
- Women’s Maori Fern Travel Shoes - these Mary Jane style flats from Naot, recommended by Kathy, have a removable cork/latex memory-foam foot bed that molds to your foot for customized arch support and shock absorption
- Robyn recommended Naturalizer Calva for their versatility. She has them in both brown and black and says they are comfy, durable, and look great with jeans or a sundress
- SAS Shoes - super popular with nurses and waitstaff and legendary for their durability, Nick recommended these as an alternative to Dansko
