New pregnancy shoes launched in US
A San Antonio, Texas company is launching a new line of shoes specifically for pregnant women. The footwear is designed to help ease some of the discomfort mothers-to-be experience when they’re expecting.
Swollen, achy feet are a common complaint late in pregnancy. New Life Shoes created its new line specifically to address such problems.
“It allows for expansion of the foot, both lengthwise and vertical-wise, so 360 degree expansion, as well as five different layers of cushioning and support that are customizable,” said New Life Shoes president Mark Connors. “You can put in or take out various pieces of the shoe to accommodate changes in the foot.”
The shoes are designed with a special strap so women can put them on with one hand. Other styles of pregnancy shoes are currently in development, New Life Shoes said.
