You may even find yourself spending most of your time in comfortable slippers.

Slippers for pregnancy need to accommodate swollen feet and provide comfort and support features that are durable enough for the added weight.

How Your Feet are Affected During Pregnancy

Pregnancy often comes accompanied by many changes in the Musculoskeletal system. Particularly in our spine and lower extremities.

The changes can be due to excessive weight gain, hormonal changes, and other reasons.

During Pregnancy, you may notice the following changes in your feet;

Changes in the Structure of Your Feet – The Length, width, and arch height of our feet may change during pregnancy. You may not know that your feet may become wider and even longer during pregnancy. Your arches may also flatten or become lower. Because of hormonal changes, your joints have more flexibility that can loosen them, causing your feet to become more relaxed and thus seem wider and longer.
Joint Mobility Changes – The Joints in your feet and ankles will be looser and more elastic because of hormonal changes. You may be much more unstable on your feet, and increasing weight can add to the instability.
Swollen Calf’s and Pain – Swelling in your feet and calf are generally something you can expect during pregnancy. Because blood flow to your heart slows down, as your uterus and the fetus increase in size, fluid may build up in the legs, ankles, and feet. Similarly, this can easily be treated with compression socks, regular walking, staying hydrated, stretching, and massaging affected areas.

Slippers may become your best friend during pregnancy if you have a comfortable pair.

Support and Cushioning – Slippers can provide good support and cushion for your feet that may be painful and aching.
Accommodate for Swelling – Most slippers have a wide, relaxed fit with soft, flexible materials or adjustable uppers that accommodate swollen feet.
Take Pressure on Your Feet and Ankles – Slippers provide support and comfort to take pressure off your feet and ankles.
Provide Stability – Most slippers have a stable rubber outsole and stability features to help you keep your balance during pregnancy.
Reduce Impact from Excess Weight. Pregnancy slippers have impact-absorbing cushioning such as memory foam and EVA to prevent hard impact on your feet, especially because of the weight increase.
Keep Your Feet Warm or Cool – Pregnancy slippers will keep your feet warm and cozy in cold weather conditions. The right slippers, in turn, will wick away moisture and breathe well to keep your feet cool in summer.

Uppers – Slippers for Pregnancy should come with flexible, soft uppers; some may even have adjustable uppers to accommodate swelling. They can consist form knit fabric, terry cloth, fleece, wool, or soft leather.
Cushioning and Support – A good slipper for pregnant women should have proper cushioning for impact protection, especially considering the extra weight. Support features such as a heel cup and stability, as well as good arch support, is, recommended.
Lining – Most slippers come with a lining of some sort. Some have a fleece or wool lining for warmth and are more suited to cold weather, while others may have a terry or cotton lining for warmer weather.
Outsole – Slippers may have a softer indoor or harder rubber outdoor outsole. I recommend a rubber outsole for its grip and shock absorbency.
Options – Luckily, with most slipper models, you will have many choices in varieties of colors, as well as prints.
