For mums all over, we know the role isn’t easy. Handling the school run, enjoying a casual outing with friends, or even getting yourself glammed up for a night out, it’s essential you’ve got the right footwear on. After all, they can either make or break your day. Understandably, comfort, practicality, and style will be at the forefront of your mind. Thankfully, London Mums have compiled a list of some must-have types of shoes you need in your wardrobe.
Let’s dive into some of the types of footwear that will not only keep you comfortable and looking chic, but ready for anything that comes your way!
Trainers
Let’s face it, trainers are just a necessity for any mum. Known for their ultimate comfort, trainers are designed to support your feet during those tiring days of keeping up with your little ones or running day-to-day errands. The good news is there are plenty of designs available on the high street. Trainers no longer just prioritise comfort, they make a stylish statement too.
When shopping for a pair of trainers, there are important factors to bear in mind, like cushioning, support, and fit. Whether you’re drawn to the classic white trainer or after something a bit more colourful, trainers come with all different price tags attached, meaning you’re sure to find a pair within your budget.
Ankle Boots
We’re all aware of how unpredictable the UK weather can be – this is where ankle boots ‘step’ into the room. Ankle boots are the versatile champion all mums need. Their ability to effortlessly shift from casual to dressy makes them a staple in your shoe collection. Whether it’s pouring with rain, or the sun is shining, an ankle boot is a reliable companion that guarantees comfort and style.
When shopping for ankle boots, it’s wise to invest in a pair that will last. Dr. Martens for example are a popular brand known for their durability. You can check out Super sales who have collected all Dr. Martens sale discounts to help you score a bargain. Just like with trainers, make sure to pick ankle boots that are a good fit and go perfectly with your outfits.
Loafers
Loafers are the epitome of effortless chic, providing a polished look without any compromise on comfort. They’re perfect for those days when you want to elevate your casual look or when you’re in a rush and need an easy-to-wear shoe. Thanks to their timeless appeal, loafers offer a quick style solution for any busy mum.
From suede to soft leather, loafers come in all different materials and designs. Offering a seamless transition from school drop-offs to an impromptu lunch, loafers provide the perfect blend of style and comfort that a mum’s hectic lifestyle demands.
Flats
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a mum or not, every woman needs a pair of flats. They’re the silent heroes of a mum’s wardrobe. These flats offer the perfect balance between comfort and femininity, making them an ideal alternative to heels. Whether you’ve got the dreaded parents’ evening coming up or a casual coffee catch-up, flats ensure you step out in style without sacrificing your comfort.
The great thing about flats is they come in an array of designs and materials that cater to every taste. From studded to bow-tied, suede to leather, there’s a pair of flats for every style and occasion. You don’t have to break the bank on flats either. Every high street sells them so stock up!
Ugg Boots
When the colder weather creeps in, nothing quite compares to the warmth and comfort offered by Ugg boots. These snuggly wonders are far more than just a pair of shoes; they’re a haven for your feet on dreary, cold days. Whether you’re off to pick the kids up, going on a brisk walk, or simply lounging around at home, Ugg boots are your best friend.
Known for their iconic plush design, Ugg boots lend a unique touch to your winter outfits. You can pair this footwear with your favourite leggings, skinny jeans, or a chunky knit for a chic, laid-back look. Once you’ve invested in a pair of Uggs, you’re ready to face the cold head-on, all while looking fabulous in the process.
Sandals
When the time comes to welcome the warm summer breeze, it’s also the perfect opportunity to refresh your summer shoe wardrobe! One of the staples you’ll need is of course… sandals! This footwear strikes the perfect balance between comfort and style. For mums on the go, sandals are a must-have for those sun-drenched days.
You can pair your sandals with a cute summer dress for a picnic in the park or with shorts for a day at the beach. Sandals not only keep your feet nice and cool but add a touch of summer elegance to your look.
If your wardrobe is looking a little bare in the shoe department, now is the time to stock up on all the essentials above. Once you do, you’ll have footwear ready to throw on, regardless of the season or occasion.
