Flat Footing
Eight ways for moms to look good while staying comfortable
One of the biggest frustrations for many postpartum moms is the difficulty of fitting back into those evening dresses and high heels.

You can’t chase your toddler around the playground with high heels anyway! So go with these comfortable flats, available in chic styles to keep your look up-to-date.
These silver ballerina plastic flats can be worn out to a night on the town or on a rainy day. RMB 199. Zara, south building of The Place, 9 Guanghua Lu, Chaoyang District 朝阳区光华路9号世贸天阶南楼
