In this case though it pretty much encompasses the entire winter, so all the more reason why I need to find something comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-post-about-winter-boots#post-2777511 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 11:05:13 +0000 catlady 2777511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a late November baby but my feet/legs stayed bigger for a few months post-partum and almost none of my normal boots fit. I mostly wore a pair of LL Bean boots with thinsulate and I kept the laces very loose (and put them in those curly knots so I didn't have to tie/untie them). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-post-about-winter-boots#post-2777502 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 10:56:09 +0000 periwinklebee 2777502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@elljay: awesome! I have put spikes in running shoes before, which are amazing for traction, but I didn't realize they made boots where they could be flipped in and out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-post-about-winter-boots#post-2777500 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 10:54:15 +0000 elljay 2777500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have to deal with being very pregnant in the winter, but I live in Chicago and these boots are amazing for snow/icy conditions. They actually have spikes on the bottom that you can flip out for extra grip.<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/pajar-louise-weatherproof-boot-women/4021419" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/pajar-louise-weatherproof-boot-women/4021419</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-post-about-winter-boots#post-2777498 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 10:53:06 +0000 periwinklebee 2777498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: @raspberries: @MaryM: Thank you all! And good call on laces, I hadn't even thought how useful that could be for swelling... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-post-about-winter-boots#post-2777484 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 10:39:12 +0000 MaryM 2777484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have waterproof uggs. They don't have the ones I got a few years ago, but I like these even more! (mine looked like traditional uggs, but had laces up the back. I keep them tied and just slip them off and on)</p> <p><a href="http://www.ugg.com/women-boots/kilmer/1019652.html#start=13&#038;cgid=women-weather" rel="nofollow">http://www.ugg.com/women-boots/kilmer/1019652.html#start=13&#038;cgid=women-weather</a></p> <p>They're obviously more stiff than regular uggs...but still plush and comfy. I think the soles are more supportive than regular uggs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-post-about-winter-boots#post-2777478 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 10:32:11 +0000 raspberries 2777478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have these in black and they were great for my winter pregnancy (baby was due in March): <a href="https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-all-weather-boots/id_314264?sku_0=::DCQ" rel="nofollow">https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-all-weather-boots/id_314264?sku_0=::DCQ</a></p> <p>DH had to unzip and pull them off toward the end, but I regularly wore them with tights/work pants and they worked fine. I mainly appreciated how grippy the bottom was when I felt like my center of gravity was about a foot in front of me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-post-about-winter-boots#post-2777471 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 10:21:56 +0000 nana87 2777471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wore Sorel snow boots that laced up so that they could be loosened, though I never had a problem with swelling. My work place is not very formal though, and I like the way they look with leggings and dresses... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-post-about-winter-boots#post-2777452 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 09:50:10 +0000 periwinklebee 2777452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really need a pair of new winter boots, but am struggling a bit with what to get as I'm due in January. I need them to be nice enough to wear to work, and most of my maternity wardrobe is dresses. But it also can snow a lot here, so I need good traction for walking around in them nine months pregnant. And I have no idea how much I should expect my feet and calves to swell, and assume I need something that comes on and off easy. Any moms with winter babies find a boot they loved? </p>
