You're working hard on healing your abs after having a baby.
The last thing you want is be undermining all your efforts by wearing the wrong shoes .

That's the exact opposite of all the activating and strengthening exercises you're doing to fix your diastasis.

What to look for in great summer sandal:
No toe spring - If the toes are elevated, don't be tempted.
An ankle strap or fastening -so it sits firmly and effortlessly on your foot.
No heal drop - keep your foot on one level.
Room to wiggle and spread your toes.

No more sparkly deliciousness on your feet?
Don't despair.

The ones you spend 99% of your time running around in.
