Manolo the Columnist: Hot Date from David Tate
Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post.
Dear Manolo,
In early September, I will be attending my cousin’s wedding at a church in one of those snooty Philadelphia Main Line towns. My problem is that I’m six months pregnant with twins, and my feet have swelled to ridiculous proportions, meaning that all of my best shoes no longer fit. Can you recommend some wide, pretty sandals in that don’t cost a fortune, as I’m hoping that my feet will eventually go back to their normal size.
Jessica.
Manolo says, you may rest assured, that if the Manolo were Emperor of the World (the job for which he is singularly well qualified) he would name all the pregnant ladies “Heroines of Fecundity”, the honor which immediately entitles its holder to deep discounts on high end ice cream, together with complimentary feet rubs from specially trained masseurs, chosen for their firm but gentle hands and strikingly good looks.But, sadly, it seems unlikely the Manolo will ever be chosen Dictator for Life, even by accident, and so the expectant mothers must continue to make do with the comfortable shoes and only the single scoop of supermarket rocky road.
Here is the Hot Date from David Tate, the mid-heel sandal available in four colors and the various sizes, all the way up to the pregnant-lady sized EE.
Jesica, your “ridiculous proportions” = my everyday size. So from one who konws, be forewarned. Sadly, I’ve never been able to find a pair of David Tate EEs that are any wider than a B. It seems that poor Mr. Tate cannot afford more than one last. Try Easy Spirit or Naturalizer.
Oh Jessica, I’ve been there! It’s no fun. And it’s completely unlike being pregnant with one. Slip on Dansko sandals were my lifesaver during my twin pregnancy. I think they actually helped prevent my feet from expanding — I was able to get back into my old shoes after. Well, those and maternity support hose. Sorry to have such an unstylish answer! Best wishes.
Her feet are going to ooze out of those straps like buttercream. Slides that cover the toes and come in wide are a better bet.
This is a great little mid-heeled number. Also, the color seems pretty neutral, I could see it working with most colors.

I have those very shoes in black and can confirm that they’re surprisingly comfortable as well as cute.
