Flat shoes -- flat shoes are nice as you can move faster and at ease plus it gives you the feel of easiness and you can move as freely as you want specially when you are out and about and anywhere you go. There are available flat shoes like ballet shoes, open or close as well.

Specifically I like the the shoes like the ballet flat shoes those with a very thin heel or the appearance of no heel at all. Usually ballet shoes -- "usually features a ribbon-like binding around the low tops of the slipper and may have a slight gathering at the top-front of the vamp (toe box) and a tiny, decorative string tie. Ballet slippers can be adjusted and tightened to the wearer's foot by means of this string tie".

• Foot spa creams can be bought anywhere at general store or pharmaceutical stores
• Keep your feet cool and dry always that is why sandals are good for pregnant women. Usually, people wear "sandals in warmer climates or during warmer parts of the year in order to keep their feet cool and dry".
• An open shoes are advisable to avoid athletes foot specially if your feet sweat a lot.

Sport shoes are good for pregnant women -- You should have one at least one shoes like sports shoes which can be paired with a maternity pants. Some women go for walks and they use walking as a form of exercise and yes women need to walk when they are pregnant so that they can have easy exercise and walking is also good for the feet and circulation of the blood in the feet. Sport shoes are also good even when you just walk in the mall, go outside and do your usual activities.

• Sandals are also good for pregnant women, they look cool and comfortable. Wearing sandals depends on the weather. Usually sandals consists of a "sole held to the wearer's foot by straps or thongs passing over the instep and around the ankle". The feet is exposed with sandals. Some women prefer sandals because of its easiness and comfort in warm weather or just a fashion style.
• Yoga sandals are good and comfortable as well. Some women do yoga as a form of exercise when they are pregnant, but even if you are not pregnant they look cool.
• People may choose to wear sandals for several reasons, among them economy and comfort in warm weather.

Flip flops

• Flip flops are a simple type of footwear in with there is a band between the big toe and the other toes. These are cool shoes and this also depends on the weather. I wear flip flops even though i am not pregnant and it gives me some kind of freedom in my feet.

• Clog shoes are usually closed toed shoe with a heel not more than a couple of inches high but the heels are thick and are backless.

Evening shoes -- the heel would be wide, avoid the steep ones. At least one evening shoes with a one half inch heel is recommended for pregnant women. Sometimes we want to look sexy with more steeper and high heeled shoes but there is the danger of tripping over. You don't have to attend parties always, so one evening shoes is enough.

• Mules look like a clog but they can be open at the back, some are classy and have high heeled while some are flat. Mules and clogs are almost the same

Accoding to wikipedia "the primary difference between mules and clogs in early days was that clogs were likely to be worn by working people, and mules were fancier and favored by the aristocracy. Mules become more associated as common dresswear among prostitutes".
