I need some comfortable, supportive sandals for my pregnant feet this summer :). Any recommended brands/styles? I'd like them in brown and they have to be cute enough to wear with my regular clothes. I wear a lot of bronze/copper metals too so a gold/bronze/copper accent is a plus!
Thanks - my feet are killing me right now.

Daily I wear my Banana Republic flip flops (currently the gold metallic :)). But, if I need to do a lot of walking, I wear my Merrells.
These aren't the ones I have but

Neither is the prettiest shoe in the world but likely comfy:

I thought these from LE had potential:

I just bought a pair of Clarks for daily wear with the kids. This is the pair (in a platinum color that was kind of bronze-ish). They came in several other colors too, including a brown. Really comfortable.
Clarkes Latin Palm (http://www.clarksusa.com/eng/product/latin_palm/60745)
I looked at several other pairs that might be possibilities too so their website or store would be worth checking. Here is another one I tried that was really comfortable too.

I have Privo Nitron sandals in bronze: http://www.softmoc.com/us/searchr.asp?i=38220%20MD&WT.mc_id=1237
They are great for walking. They are a discontinued style. I didn't order from that website. I found mine at Ross. Privo's are made by Clarks. I have found all Privo shoes to be great to walk in.

I just discovered this brand called Taos and ordered this style in brown pearl when Endless had a sale a few days ago:

Just got them today and haven't worn them outside yet, but they feel very promising! There were a few other Taos styles that looked cute as well, and some have adjustable straps, which would be good for pregnancy.

I just got these last week and wore them to Disneyland, well, for most of the day :) I actually got 2 pairs, black and the nude/brown. I've worn them with dresses, skinny jeans and and shorts so far - sometimes I find that dansko's can look a little clunky on my feet, but these seem to be more streamlined.

I love cork bottomed sandals for walking. Think Sandals are ridiculously comfy and there are a ton of styles. For a slighty cheaper option, I just ordered these Mephisto ones in silver.

They should be coming today.
ETA;
These are just not that comfy. I am going to stick with my Thinks or my Gizeh (so totally comfy).

I just ordered these and I haven't received them yet but they have great reviews. I think they are very cute and lots of color options from which to choose.

FWIW I work my Patricia Crocs through my last pg. They are stylish enough that I didn't feel too bad wearing them at work, but they are super comfy. Plus tons of colors to choose from. I have a black/Charcoal pair and a brown pair.

I have seen the Birkenstock Gizehs in lots of colors, including metallic. They look comfy.

Also looks like Orthaheels has some fancier styles now too.

I have orthoheels as my house slippers and they are comfy with good support.

I have a discontinued style of Born sandals that I love, and are so super comfortable. I have to imagine the newer style is just as nice. I have it in patent leather black and plain leather brown, but it came in metallic leather as well (silver, gold...). The style is Nordi:

I just saw the Born Nordi style sandals from the above post at my local Marshall's . Not sure if all the Marshalls stores have them in stock or not. I can't remember the exact price, but I would guess they were about $40.

I'm searching for the same thing right now and ordered these three earlier this week:
Born Renzi
http://vip.zappos.com/product/7948333/color/3828?zfcTest=fw:1
Merrell Dahlia
http://vip.zappos.com/merrell-dahlia-coffee-bean?zfcTest=fw:1
and
Privo Zyon
http://www.zappos.com/privo-by-clarks-zyon-pewter?zfcTest=fw:1
They arrived yesterday and I'm only keeping the Privos. The slight heel makes them more comfortable and they mold to my feet vs. the other two. I also like the color of the Privo. The Born was narrow in the instep was too flat to be comfortable. The Merrell felt and looked clunky.
HTH someone.

Those look like awesome sandals! I'll have to keep my eye out for Privos!

Great! Can you link to the Privos you got? Both links at the end take you to the Merrells. Btw, I adore my Born sandals from a few years ago (and Jozef Seibel).

I wore them all day today chasing kids and they felt great.
