We’re including the Veronica Beard Allura Flat Sandals for the early stages of pregnancy due to their inherent comfort and style. The flat heel and flexible leather upper are perfect for the First Trimester when stability and ease are paramount, allowing you to maintain your chic aesthetic without compromising on developing comfort needs. As you move into your Second Trimester, these sandals continue to offer a stable foundation as your center of gravity shifts. The open-toe design provides room for any minor swelling, and while the spiral ankle wrap requires some bending to secure, it offers a degree of adjustability to accommodate changes in ankle size. These sandals seamlessly blend into a sophisticated wardrobe, providing a fashionable yet practical option as your body begins its beautiful transformation. However, as you progress to the Third Trimester and postpartum period, the spiral ankle wrap that requires bending to put on will likely become less practical as bending over becomes more challenging. For those later stages, we’d recommend opting for truly slip-on styles with maximum cushioning.
