Let’s face it, being a mom limits your shoe selection. Unfortunately, it’s just not that practical to hit the playground in platforms. And showing up to Mommy and Me in hot, 6-inch stilettos will just yield disapproving stares–not compliments on the length of your legs. The good news is that there are tons of cute, comfy and practical-without-being-boring shoes that you can rock while on mommy-duty and still maintain your personal style. Here are my favorite mother-approved shoes of the season:

On the left:

Sigerson Morrison metallic sandals, $395

Giuseppe Zanotti snake print high tops, $595

In the middle:

Proenza Schouler color-block sandals, $595

Belle by Sigerson Morrison cut-out ballet flats, $250

Surface To Air perforated leather boat shoes, $301

On the right:

Givenchy gladiator sandals, $470

Fendi espadrilles, $375

And here are a couple more budget-friendly options:

Loeffler Randall braided patent leather sandals, $113.75

Steve Madden “Guesst” sandals, $79.95
