Not the most professional, but were worth their weight in gold during those later months. Plus, they accommodated my swollen feet. </p> <p>If I wore dresses then I wore flip flops. My principal was pretty lax about our dress code though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-teacherswhat-shoes#post-1036941 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 14:51:09 +0000 marionberry 1036941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a teacher, but I absolutely love these flats! I didn't wear them a ton at work until these last 2 months, but they're a lifesaver and they were super cheap!</p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/p/women-s-merona-madge-woven-ballet-flat-black/-/A-14322298#prodSlot=medium_1_44&#038;term=black+flats" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/women-s-merona-madge-woven-ballet-flat-black/-/A-14322298#prodSlot=medium_1_44&#038;term=black+flats</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-teacherswhat-shoes#post-1036473 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:56:39 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1036473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a teacher and love my Danskos, but I'd be a cranky hot mess in the heat with them on right now. Last year I was 8.5 months pregnant in August when school started and I wore my Tevas everyday (the flip flop kid with all the straps - olowahu: <a href="http://www.teva.com/womens-olowahu-flip-flops/6840,default,pd.html?dwvar_6840_color=HPRP&#038;start=1&#038;cgid=women-flip-flops)" rel="nofollow">http://www.teva.com/womens-olowahu-flip-flops/6840,default,pd.html?dwvar_6840_color=HPRP&#038;start=1&#038;cgid=women-flip-flops)</a></p> <p>I don't know how supportive they are, but my feet didn't hurt. I also sat on a big yoga ball all day and kept my feet up whenever I could. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-teacherswhat-shoes#post-1036068 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 10:39:28 +0000 Ash 1036068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sophia: Yeah, they made me think people were crazy for recommending them... but now I love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-teacherswhat-shoes#post-1036047 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 10:35:09 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1036047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about some Bjorns?

I bought a pair in January specifically for a business trip and they hurt my feet SO bad at first. They're awesome now, but there is a breaking in period that you need to keep in mind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-teacherswhat-shoes#post-1035892 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 09:36:52 +0000 Mrs. J 1035892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you so much, ladies! I wore my Tevas today. Not the most attractive, but I am hoping they (and more sitting) will help. </p> <p>I have such narrow feet (normally) that I have a lot of trouble with slipons, but we will see! </p> [attach=2764/13/mrxslh.600x448.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-teacherswhat-shoes#post-1035876 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 09:31:06 +0000 cascademom 1035876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a teacher, but another vote for black Crocs ballet flats. I love, love mine. I still wear them to work, at work, everywhere. I have multiple colors too. Jayna is my favorite style. I really like their slingback flats.</p> <p><a href="http://www.crocs.com/crocs-jayna/11851,default,pd.html?cid=57H&#038;cgid=women-footwear-flats" rel="nofollow">http://www.crocs.com/crocs-jayna/11851,default,pd.html?cid=57H&#038;cgid=women-footwear-flats</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-teacherswhat-shoes#post-1035729 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 08:41:05 +0000 prettylizy 1035729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would look into Reef shoes... seriously they are so super duper comfy (crock-esque) but they come in a wider variety of styles and colours IMO. I'm wearing "Souther Solstice" today and they are my current go-to comfy stylish work shoe.<br /> <a href="http://shop.reef.com/girls-shoes/l/290?PageNo=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.reef.com/girls-shoes/l/290?PageNo=0</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-teacherswhat-shoes#post-1035714 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 08:34:04 +0000 ladybee 1035714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 31 weeks and have lived in the ballet flat Crocs. So comfortable. Now that I'm going back and it's going to be super hot I know they won't work due to sweating so I'm going to wear flip flops which is typically a no-no unless you're pregnant and swollen :) I'll return back to my Crocs once the heat goes away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-teacherswhat-shoes#post-1035615 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 08:02:16 +0000 Ash 1035615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a teacher but I'm on my feet all day and I wear Danskos. They were perfect up until my foot (yes, just one) grew. They're not cute, IMO, but super comfy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-teacherswhat-shoes#post-1035544 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 07:37:48 +0000 mrs. 64 1035544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a teacher, but not pregnant.

My principal understood because she was pregnant too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-teacherswhat-shoes#post-1035488 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 07:02:40 +0000 heffalump 1035488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a teacher, but my dad is a podiatrist and got me hooked on these. Very comfy and surprisingly cute for orthodic shoes. I don't wear anything else anymore. <a href="http://www.orthaheelusa.com/women.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.orthaheelusa.com/women.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-teacherswhat-shoes#post-1035452 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 06:31:51 +0000 Happygal 1035452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to say that onlineshoes sent me a 20% off Merrells, and those rarely go on sale! Let me know if you're interested in a pair and I'll see how we can get the coupon code to you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-teacherswhat-shoes#post-1035434 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 06:21:10 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1035434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't teach, but I actually got a pair of black crocs that look like ballet flats. They were SO comfortable. Nothing seemed to help the sweating and swelling but at least they are comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-teacherswhat-shoes#post-1035426 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 06:09:42 +0000 Rubies 1035426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummm...I wore/wear the nicest flip flops that I own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-teacherswhat-shoes#post-1035424 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 06:06:10 +0000 emg86 1035424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. J: Yep, I wore Dansko and Sanita clogs through most of my pregnancy. Merrell were also very comfortable and supportive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-teacherswhat-shoes#post-1035423 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 06:05:50 +0000 Charm54 1035423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My birks and clarks were my best friend.

Not sure how cute you might think they are, but for me they are super comfy, supportive, and professional looking. I can stand for hours without making my feet hurt. </p> <p>I was able to wear them until about week 36 of my last pregnancy, but by that point my feet were too swollen to fit into much of anything. I walked around in unlaced sneakers after that point and told anyone who made a comment to shove it ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-teacherswhat-shoes#post-1035313 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 22:45:19 +0000 Mrs. J 1035313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Teacher bees, what shoes did you wear while pregnant? It's hot at school, and the standing is making my feet swell and ache. Any suggestions on cute, supportive shoes? </p>
