What Constitutes the Best Mom Shoes
The best mom shoes may differ based on your age, profession, as well as the stage that your children are in. If you are a stay at home mom with young kids like us, the best mom shoes would be those that could serve different purposes.
Tips for Choosing the Best Mom Shoes
Stay at home moms have different shoe requirements than working moms. Thankfully, we don’t need to wear closed or high-heeled shoes that are often required in corporate set ups. But we do need the best mom shoes that can cope with our fast-paced lifestyle.
Comfort
If you have youngsters, especially from kinder school to grade school, you will need shoes that can live up to your lifestyle. At this point, a stay at home moms’ routine revolves mainly with preparing food, grocery errands, driving the kids to school and practices, and even just the park or the playground.
You need a pair of shoes that give you comfort for long walks and even flexibility and protection for times when you need to dash or sprint after your child.
Style
While comfort is of utmost importance, we cannot neglect style. Of course, even when we haven’t taken a proper bath or a good look in the mirror, we try to look good and also feel good. So we want our comfortable shoes to follow that design element as well.
In my case, I have slim feet. So I do look for shoes that have a slim shape because if I wear shoes with a wide toe cap, I feel like a duck wading in the mud.
Quality
Buying good quality shoes for me is very important because I don’t want to keep on buying new stuff. It irks me to have to spend so much time looking for the pair that suits me every few months. So my regular pair should last me at least two years before I find another perfect pair.
Budget
The next best thing to quality that makes this mama happy is of course, if the pair of shoes that I like is on sale. As a mom of two growing children, I am like many other moms who think about our family budget, first and foremost. That is why, if we need some stuff for ourselves or for the home, we wait until there is a sale event in the store so that we can buy what we need for less.
Watching out for sales and promos really extends our income and keep our family budget on check. As a freelancer with unpredictable incomes, these sale events stretch our peso and give us more value for money.
The Sports Warehouse Big Big Sale in Bacolod
That is why hubby and I were super happy to learn about the big big sale of The Sports Warehouse in Bacolod. There are rubber shoes from popular brands like Nike, Adidas, New Balance, and Arena that are discounted up to 80% off!
Hubby got a new pair of New Balance leather shoes while I had the Nike LunarSolo running shoes. They are comfortable, look good, and had a 35% mark down. I totally love them. Since they are good for running, they are also good for walking, aren’t they? Plus, if I decide to go running, this would be a great pair of shoes. This momma is super happy! 😀

Great blog post. love your work. Tips are up to the point for kinder school opening. keep it up 🙂
When I buy a pair of shoes, the first thing I consider is comfort. I want shoes with a roomy toe box. Style and color are what I look for next. Since I cannot wear high heels, I opt for cute flats, sandals and of course, sneakers.
Nice! We are the opposite though, my toe cap should be slim. haha
When I buy shoes I always look for comfort over fashion, especially when you are on your feet 14 hours a day.
Oh yes! So true! Poor feet.
I’m all about the comfort! I prefer to be barefoot, but we all know that simply isn’t always an option. So for those days when I have to wear shoes, I go for a low to no-heel rubber sole with lots of cushion.
I’d always choose comfort over style! Love this post. 🙂
Great post! Although those look comfortable, here in Florida it gets HOT and humid, so I avoid closed shoes like sneakers.. My go to shoes are flip flops and sandals, all day everyday! I have them in simple flats, wedged, and even sparkly and blingy for when I need to dress it up a bit…lol!
I definitely need new footwear myself. I use mine so much they wear down too fast, I’m a heavy walker and many times walk on my toes still ?.
It’s not that easy to find shoes that are comfy and would fit your budget. These are awesome tips. Finding the right shoes can make any mom’s life easier especially when running errands, or running after their kids!
it depends on the personality, in my personal opinion women shouldn’t forget about their feminity and get out of a comfort zone. Comfy sport shoes are great but it’s not always an option if you want to look gorgeous.
I can relate to this since I recentyl become a mom, a shoes that is comfortable and within the budget is a good one for me.
Comfort over fashion is my mantra when buying shoes. I travel a lot and I need comfy shoes that I can take with me for walking and sight seeing. Proper heel and arch support are also critical factors I look for before I purchase footwear.
I’m not a mum myself (yet), but I think a lot of these tips apply to women who aren’t mothers too. I always choose comfortable shoes, though when I was younger I would choose style over comfort. So maybe it’s something that develops with age x

I totally that comfort is the top priority in terms of choosing the best shoes followed by quality. I also do not want to keep buying new stuff.

I agree with all of them the most. The most what I look for is 1. Budget ad then the 2.Comfort. Comfort comes hand in hand with quality and durability mostly so I go with it.
Great tips! Shoes are always a great gift idea not just for moms but for dads and anyone else too.
I can’t wear heels because of balance issues so I always go for flats and sandals. Comfort is a must. Sneakers and running shoes are my feet’s best buddies.
I am definitely a comfort person when it comes to shoes, there is nothing worse than being on your feet for hours in uncomfortable shoes! This is a really great post!

Have you tried the Freeworld Australia flipflops? These are the coziest slippers I’ve ever owned. I’m delighted I paid a little more for these. I’m a full-time parent who takes care of her children while still doing domestic tasks, so I’ve been wearing them nonstop for the past year. They’re still in good condition and don’t show any indications of wear. You should also give it a shot.
