I've been practically living in my flip flops and a pair of Clarks but am looking for some variety. I prefer something without laces so I can carry DD around easier. I've been looking for something comfortable, probably clogs or mules. I would love to hear what other mommys like to wear. Thanks!

This style is what a lot of moms around here wear. At the Children's Museum we are members at, at least 4 moms were wearing a shoe similiar to this one:

Its: Columbia Sportswear Women's Westcliffe Mesh Slip-on
I got a pair for my sister for Christmas (we haven't exchanged gifts yet) and I realllly like them. I might be a grinch and keep them!

I had been living in one sad pair of Clarks mules, and a pair of Lands End all-weather mocs (the only shoes that fit me at the end of my pregnancy!). I finally splurged on some new shoes in Amazon's clearance sales last month, and Aerosoles are my new favorite comfy-yet-fashionable shoes.
I got these at a really good price, but in brown suede:
http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000GAUO1Y.01._AA280_SCLZZZZZZZ_V38197393_.jpg
(Aerosoles Bologna)
and I wear them at least 3-4 times a week. They look pretty sharp, but low wedge heel is really comfy and they're quick to get on and off hands-free. :)
I would never have thought to shop on Amazon for shoes, but they have a good selection and some good sales. Also check out Shoebuy.com, they do free shipping and free returns, and there's a coupon for $10 off your total -- save10. I placed three orders from them in the last month (I know, I know) and it's been a great experience.

I LOVE Aerosoles. I just got this pair (in black) last week:

New Balance sneakers for working.

I wear LL Bean's Comfort Mocs (http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?page=comfort-mocs&categoryId=33400&storeId=1&catalogId=1&langId=-1&parentCategory=501713&cat4=9979&shop_method=pp&feat=501713-tn).
Then again, I started wearing these long before I was a mom! ;)

I pretty much only wear Dansko shoes and sandals these days as nothing else is as comfy to me. Their clogs are great.

I live in a cold (er) climate, so I've been mainly wearing tennies and shoes - no flip flops or clogs until it's warmer out!
I have been wearing these Rampage Loafers (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FHD7A8/105-0393801-4943653) and these Aerosoles Ankle Boots. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GAWPRK/105-0393801-4943653)

I have these Rocket Dog clogs:

They're really comfy but the wedge heel gives me the added height I need, since my legs are so short. I also wear my Puma sneakers a lot.

Not a mom, but I recently saw a cute pair of ballet-style flats by Nike at Nordstrom. They come in black and army green and are not bulky--they look like ballet slippers, but have subtle athletic-shoe traction and insoles. I'll see if I can track down a pic. They are cute enough for me to wear and I'm kind of a cute whore when it comes to shoes. (I would rather have bleeding feet than wear clodhoppers.)
BTW, how about Uggs? Wouldn't those be nice and cozy?

I've been wearing these ankle boots (http://www.naturalizer.com/shop_online/item_detl.asp?CID=boots&PID=garth&variant_id=873N97&Size=%25%25%25%2D%25) a lot lately. I'm too lazy to get pants hemmed, so I need a bit of a heel to get them off the ground. I love these boots, I really can walk around in them all day and my feet never get sore.

I'm a Skechers fanatic. I wear either these (http://www.amazon.com/Womens-Skechers-Premium-Premix-Leather/dp/B0009DJX2E/sr=1-24/qid=1168721255/ref=sr_1_24/102-0680497-6683321?ie=UTF8&s=apparel) or these (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_a/102-0680497-6683321?url=search-alias%3Dapparel&field-keywords=skechers+eskimo) when it's really cold, and these (http://www.amazon.com/Womens-Skechers-Sport-Premiere-White/dp/B000INDHEK/sr=1-12/qid=1168721356/ref=sr_1_12/102-0680497-6683321?ie=UTF8&s=apparel) when the weather is mild. I'm thinking of getting these (http://www.amazon.com/Womens-Skechers-Shindigs-Fortress-U-S/dp/B000EI034G/sr=1-48/qid=1168721433/ref=sr_1_48/102-0680497-6683321?ie=UTF8&s=apparel). In the summer I wear Skechers flip flops.

I would also recommend Pumas (LOVE mine) or Uggs, as have already been suggested. In addition to those, lots of mommies around here are wearing Cole Haan for casual shoes. Perhaps like these:

Laura, I love those last ones you posted! Where are those from? (I'm not a mom, but that doesn't stop me from wearing comfy shoes. ;) )

I have these Tsubo's (http://www.shoes.com/product.asp?p=5012670%7EWomens%7CCasual%7ETSUBO&sc=WOMENS&variant_id=EC1004745) and I've seen several of my friends with them, too. They are so comfy, and are slip on.

I have a ten month old and have recently bought a pair of black Gucci loafers. Since I wear jeans ALL THE TIME they look a little nicer and they are easy on / easy off. They are a bit $$ but I figure I'll wear them all the time and they won't ever go out of style.

Slip ons are definitely the way to go. A lot of the moms I know wear those slip on tennis shoes. I'm in desperate need of a new pair of shoes myself. I really can't wear any type of shoe with a heel anymore since early on in my pregnancy. First of all, my feet hurt all of the time. Second, I have no sense of balance anymore. Which really sucks, because I used to love high heels! Can you/would you wear socks with those ballet flat tennies?
