Welcome to Mailbag! This is a series where we answer your questions related to procreation and life with kids. Imagine us hand-selecting emails from our dusty old email inbox that we think may have relevant and helpful answers for those of us currently wading through the muck (I mean JOY!) of child rearing.

We're starting out this series with some recent questions we've received from readers and friends, along with our very professional answers, of course. You are encouraged to share your own helpful info in the comments or send us a question, if you'd like!

An unsolicited Anne Geddes moment, you’re welcome.

What is a good summertime mom shoe that is practical enough to actually wear but not ugly?

Ah, not ugly shoes. It's a fine line these days! Our stance is that shoes are very nearly the most important feature of any parental outfit. You can really just wear a big shirt or jeans and it's the shoes that will make or break your look. And sunglasses, but here we are focused on SHOES.
