Find the Best Shoes for Your Mom this Mother’s Day

April 29, 2010 • By Erika

Even online shoe stores know that their wares are one of the most sought after gifts for mother’s day! Zappos.com has made it easier for us who have absolutely no clue what to get our mothers on May 9 by categorizing everything according to what kind of woman your mother is. We all know mothers are superwomen, but even superheroes have their own superpowers and need the right tools to get their work done and save the day.

If your mother is the type who loves to bustle about in the kitchen and around the house, consider trading in her old house slippers for a pair of Sanita Ingrid Oil clogs. Not only are these shoes accepted by the American Podiatric Medical Association, but they’ll also protect your mom’s feet from spills, dropped objects, and accidents. The open back design makes these shoes easy to slip on and off and hey, clogs are in this season!

If your mom follows trends, then you can help her update her wardrobe for spring and summer. Purchase her a pair of cork wedge sandals that’ll keep her cool and stylish. These Gabriella Rocha Stef Wedge Sandals are a great looking pair and at $59.00, you can afford to purchase more colors that your mom can mix and match her clothes with.

For the pampered mom, she’ll most definitely appreciate a pair of luxurious lounge slippers. The Dakota slipper is the most popular moccasin slipper on Zappos.com, thanks mostly in part to their thick genuine sheepskin lining and their UGG Australia brand name.

Of course, there are always moms who constantly remind you to turn the lights off, take shorter showers, eat less meat and more vegetables, or go for a walk instead of taking the car. Show her that you’ve been listening to her advice all this time by gifting her with a pair eco-friendly, vegan shoes. Something like the Jambu Oscar sandals, which are made from synthetic leather and recycled materials, will let your mom do her part for the environment without sacrificing style and comfort.

Sporty moms are probably the easiest to find shoes for because there are so many great sneaker styles to choose from. To make it more personalized, consider the sport that your mom loves to do the most and find a shoe that’ll match her abilities. If your mom just loves to wear sneakers period, the Asics GT-2150® W’s is a nice all-around athletic shoe at a reasonable price.
