Best Nike® Shoes for Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a wondrous time of your life, with many changes to your body and your feet.

Having comfortable and supportive shoes and an accommodating fit can be a lifesaver throughout your pregnancy.

Nike shoes for Pregnancy have been selected according to their comfort and fit features, especially for all the stages of pregnancy.


Why Do You Need Good Shoes for Pregnancy

Well, for starters, there is a great likelihood that your feet will swell during pregnancy.

You do not want to spend all your time in slippers, and slippers also may offer a roomy fit but not much in comfort and support features.

Athletic shoes such as Nike for Pregnancy offer an accommodating and adjustable fit, along with proper support and comfort features to support your weight, cushion your feet and relieve foot pain.


Choosing Shoes for Pregnancy

There are a few features that are ideal in shoes for pregnancy;

  • Cushioning – Cushioning in the midsole and footbed of the shoe absorbs shock and provides comfort to reduce pain and foot fatigue.
  • Support – Support features such as light stability and arch support, evenly distributing weight and impact, and keeping your feet well aligned.
  • Fit – A more roomy fit, especially in the toe box, will accommodate swollen feet and feet that may become slightly wider.
  • Slip Resistance – A durable slip-resistant outsole will help to protect you against slips and falls.

In our list are some of the best available shoes from Nike for Pregnancy;


1

  • We start with the Nike Revolution 5 model in its wider width options.
  • I find Nike shoes in general to be more sleek and narrow fitting, and thus, if you have a wider foot or need to accommodate for swelling during pregnancy, it is always good to opt for a wider fit.
  • The Nike Revolution 5 comes with soft and flexible engineered knit uppers with no-sew overlays for less friction and a much more breathable and flexible fit.
  • A soft foam midsole is lightweight and cushioning, with a textured wall, making the sole much more lightweight.

  • The outsole is durable rubber with a heel-to-toe drop for stability and comfort.

  • It is a durable and quality shoe you can wear throughout pregnancy.

  • The Flex Trainer for women has soft textile and synthetic uppers, with a roomy and accommodating fit and toe box.
  • Their lightweight and flexible soles allow low-impact exercises and circuit training in the gym.
  • The synthetic uppers and the secure heel strap give you a much safer, secure fit to support and contain your feet.

  • The Nike Tanjun has soft mesh and synthetic uppers that are lightweight and breathable.
  • The fit is more regular and relaxed, with a roomy toe box, a soft padded collar, and a snug heel fit.

  • Then we get to the All Out Low 2 from Nike, which I also find to be just a casual and comfortable all-day wear sneaker that you can wear anywhere while pregnant.
  • It has a simplistic yet very fashionable design and is available in some gorgeous light summery colors.
  • There are also many sizes and fit options available.
  • The Nike All Out Low has a solid and uniform slight platform design sole with no heel-to-toe drop, which means it is much more stable, especially when you are slightly off-balance, and it places no pressure on your toes or forefeet.
