If you follow us on Twitter, you'll know that I am constantly on the hunt for the perfect slip-on boots that require absolutely no effort (ie - doesn't require bending over a big fat baby belly!) and are comfortable to boot (pun intended). Believe it or not, this challenge is much more difficult than I thought. Almost as tough as bending over a baby belly and lacing up boots that aren't that comfortable anyways...
I was delighted when I spotted in MAMA Magazine a pair of boots that were calling my name: Goliath "On Stage" boots. Ok, I could do without the name (I mean, when will I be "on stage"?!), but the look of them just made my feet melt. Easy, slip-on style (even has a little tab on the back to help us pull them on without too much effort) and believe it or not: arch support! I find this is a rarity, especially among boots. Being the obsessive-compulsive lady that I am, I Googled the company, found out where they sold them in my town, and ran out one hour later and tried them on. Little did I know they have a faux-sheepskin lining which is very Ugg-like and oh-so-comfortable! I nearly cried in relief when I put them on, and have worn them every single day since. Not sure about the eco-factor of the boots, but seeing as I will be wearing them non-stop and not buying any more boots, that's eco enough for this soon-to-be-double-mama!
LOVE these shoes! I think I must get these too, look super-comfy and cool!

they are UNBELIEVABLY comfortable! I actually thought they'd be more "fashion boots" (read: mild on the comfortable scale) but these really rival Uggs for the comfort factor. I found them to run a *tiny* bit small, at least getting them on, but maybe that's because I have swollen feet :)

Wow, super comfy! The only issue I have with shoes is.. I always have to add big insoles within to make my feet fit in or there is too much 'space'. I usually need the laces to tighten things up. I so love the distressed finish on these though! Love.. I see the news is out (baby #2!), hoping the Mama Shuka is feeling great and having a good weekend!
