If you’re pregnant and want to wear heels, you’ve probably heard a lot of opinions. Some people say heels are dangerous during pregnancy and some will say they’re totally fine.
But, what’s the truth?
Today we are here to clear up these biggest myths and facts about wearing heels during pregnancy.
So you can make the best decision for yourself.
Truth: Not all heels are bad in pregnancy. You just have to choose comfortable high heels with good support that can actually be safe.
It really depends on the type of heels you wear. Super high and unstable heels are probably not the best idea. Some styles are actually designed to give you support and balance and look stylish, you need to go for that.
Pump Heels (Nova in Camel, Black Velvet) – A classic, balanced option that gives you support without putting too much pressure on your feet.
Platform Heels (Sophia in Nude, Black) – The platform design helps distribute weight evenly, reducing foot strain.
Supportive Sandals (Isabella in Nude, Black) – Perfect for everyday wear when you want comfort but still want a little height.
Pregnancy shifts your center of gravity. Making it harder to maintain balance.
As your belly grows, your weight moves forward, which changes the way you stand and walk. This can make wearing heels feel different.
Truth: Heels can put extra pressure on your ligaments, pelvis, and veins. Especially later in pregnancy.
During pregnancy, your body releases a hormone that softens ligaments to prepare for childbirth. This can make your feet and ankles feel less stable.
Plus, wearing high heels can increase pressure on your pelvis, which may cause discomfort. Poor circulation can also lead to varicose veins and swelling.
Our Supportive heels (like Isabella supportive sandals) help improve circulation and relieve pressure.
Always avoid heels that are too narrow or put too much strain on your arches.
If you notice swelling or pain, switch to lower and more supportive pregnancy shoes.
Truth: Some heels are much better for pregnancy than others.
If you’re going to wear heels, choose ones that give you stability and comfort.
