Moms & parks-what type of shoes do you wear?

In warmer weather, I'm all about sandals, wedges, and flip flops.  But for the park, none of these work...what type of shoes do you wear during the spring/summer season when you take your lo to the park?  I really don't wear sneakers in warmer weather, unless I'm going to the gym.

Re: Moms & parks-what type of shoes do you wear?

  • Toms usually

  • I have Nike mary janes that I wear for that sort of thing.
  • Anything without a heel. So in the warmer non rainy weather I will wear toms, random flip flops or other flat sandals, or sneakers/ athletic flats  if I'm wearing workout clothes.

    Ditto this.  Your kids are crazy cute.

    I wear comfy ballet flats, and also have been wearing my new Sperry Angelfish a lot for doing stuff with the kiddo.

  • converse old ones, flip flops if the sprinklers are on.

  • Lately, I have been wearing Tom's, but once shorts season is here (I hate Toms with shorts on me), I will wear flip flops.

  • Flat sandals or ballet flats. I have a pair of red Toms I sometimes wear as well.

  • I'd love to wear my flip flops (I do wear this if we are going to the sprinkle park) or flat sandals, but I can't stand getting dirt all over my feet. Plus, it will mess up my pedicure...lol!  

    I'm going to look further into Toms and the Sperry shoe...right now they look too pretty.  I'm looking for something that doesn't necessarily require socks and I can easily throw on and both shoes look like they do this.  I can't believe that I'm asking this, but does anyone use these crocs...they actually look comfy and doable...

  • Converse or Chacos. I wear my Chacos almost everywhere during the day once the weather is nice.

  • Not a mom, but I tried on some rocket dog shoes this weekend that were canvas and they were really comfortable and I thought they looked really cute on.  They don't look all that great online, but I was impressed with them in person.

    then you're looking for the Toms and Sperrys. I have both shoes (4 pairs of Toms and 1 pair of Sperry Bluefish) and never wear socks with either of them in warm weather. they are absolutely my "slip on and go everywhere" shoes--in fact, I keep my olive green Toms by the front door in case I need to run out for a few minutes and don't want to hunt down shoes. I don't consider either shoe to be "pretty" but they are fashionable while being comfortable and easy to move in.

  • You can also look into classic Keds. I think they are cute and best of all if those get dirty, you can just toss them in the wash.
  • Sperry Angelfish or Converse Jack Purcells for a shoe/sneaker look.  Keen sandals in hot weather.  The Keens aren't very fashionable, but they aren't bad and have great foot support and a closed toe - exactly what you need at the playground.
  • I wear a sporty Sandal like keens or clarks.  
  • I just picked these up over the weekend at Old Navy for $14.99 in the green color.  But my store also had nude, black and coral. They are cheap and comfy and lightweight so I think they'd be perfect for the park.

  • I wear Toms or Sperrys. Sometimes I will wear sandals, but they are convenient for chasing kids around.
