I love it when I find a flat shoe that can cover me in different walks of life (get it. Walks…. Shoes…..)
And I love it even more when I get the chance to share them with you! (and if you keep reading, you might even be able to win a pair for yourself 😉 )
Being a busy mumma of two wee ones, I understand now, more than ever, how style can take a back seat in life! It just goes into the ‘too hard basket” sometimes doesn’t it.
BUT, looking good (and being able to get on with your crazy, busy life) doesn’t need to be as hard as we make it out to be.
And to give you some everyday style inspo, I’ve thrown together three easy mum-on-the-run looks, all based around these fabulous Lisa Flats from Ziera Shoes.
The “hanging at home with the fam” Look
Yes I wear white around my children, (it’s my husband and his coffee I have to watch haha!).
Emmie wears H&M dress in store now $14.99
I love these shoes because you can literally just slip them on, but they elevate any look far more than just a plain old jandal or sandal.
Mustard is such a hot colour right now too, so you can get your fix in a couple of different ways! (check out this post on how to add a little more mustard in your life)
The “popping out to run those errands” Look.
You don’t have to wear jeans every day of your life! Try a new silhouette when it comes to pants this summer.
The cropped, wide-leg style is great for running around with the kids, but also adds a touch of elegance to your look.
And the best thing about this style pant? They look great with flats!
The “coffee and fluffy catch-ups” look
Sometimes mummas just need a de-brief with the other mummas! And caffeine. All of the caffeine.
An easy-to-wear jersey dress, some fun accessories and these fab flats, a stylish and comfy outfit makes!
Navy and mustard are a match made in heaven, and a great go-to if colour and print aren’t your bag.
A midi dress is great when hanging out with the kids too! It’s long enough to sit on the floor for story time, but feels a little more dressed up than shorts or jeans.

I like the Milan shoe in blush. The wedge heel lets you stand tall and proud whilst feeling secure and stable.
I like the mustard and taupe colours of the Lisa shoe. Would be great to wear to work. The mustard is great for wearing with summer colours and the taupe is good for more conservative days.
I really like the Lisa in mustard as well. A fun pop of colour that would look great with jeans or a dress. 🤞
Ok wow…loving the casual chicness (is that even a word?) Of the Autumn wedges….I used to squeeze my feet into torturous pinched front, skyscraper stiletto shoes as a teen/twenty something back in the day, a long, long time ago, fair to say my feet get Nam flashbacks when they see the dizzying heights of some of the beautiful but impractical shoes available now sigh* in the 90s I went with the ‘Sneans’ style to chase my toddlers because that was how us mums rolled in the 90s, and was lucky if I got to drink coffee hot! these days (claps with glee) you can have style and comfort! So now In my work (which is crazy busy Careers/Pathways advisor helping Teens in a College) I “invest” in good shoes to help them chase their goals (Ziera in among my collection) love me a great flat shoe and yep you can get styly flats these days in fabulous colours (not proud of my sneans phase) but am venturing into funky heels…..but fair to say no oxygen required these days with the heights of them 😉
Pamela – in blush nubuck look great and will be super comfortable and will go with shorts, dresses etc, perfect for me with the activities I do with my children!
I love the Ashley sandals in pink and black. The colour combo is gorgeous and would look so good with summer dresses and wide leg pants. I need to stop wearing boring old jandles all summer!!!
I totally love the breeze Paprika sandal. It would suit my everyday style as I am a busy teacher. The shoe is stylish, practical, soft and comfortable. I have checked it out in the Ziera store and am hoping for some Mumma Christmas money to purchase a pair. I think it would go with everything and still make this over 65 year old look stylish. From the beach to the broadwalk these could be mine!
I’m currently pregnant with my first child and the Courtney looks perfect as I grown bigger and can’t see my feet. But also comfy and easy when baby does come. My feet get hot and swell easy at the best of times so these look super comfy. I do love the shoes that are in the blog too.
I love the Zeria Lisa flats. And I love all the colours. These will be great for an upcoming wedding. Thanks
TRIANA in Navy/Mustard/Mid-Tan would be delightful. As I am retired now and my preferred exercise is walking, the comfort of Triana, together with that very classy look and modern colourway provides the perfect answer. Lunch in a vineyard or a stroll through the supermarket – in either case this shoe oozes class.
SASHA
Black would be ideal please for when i get back to work after maternity leave.
Jinx in blue would really work with a lot of things in my wardrobe. I don’t wear heels that often as I find them uncomfortable, but am intrigued with Ziera’s pillow walk heels. Plus, i’m loving the cornflower blue color which pops and screams summer!
Oahu – Ocean Suede… it will dress up my denim, pop with a touch of summer to my all black work ensemble, and with my navy maxi skirt will look darling..
I really love the Samantha sandle it’s silver it’s shiny it’s a bit of bling so can be dressed up to say to a party or BBQ and can also be dressed down with a pair of shorts and T shirt for a day hanging out with my little family but not so dressed down as say good old jandals hahah. I can take these away and can pack easy in my suitcase for a holiday. I’m all about versatility in shoes and this one definitely ticks all those boxes especially with the colour just pretty much goes with everything that I have in my wardrobe yay 🙂
Give me that feeling, that pain free Lisa (taupe or mustard) feeling!
After seeing the lovely way you have styled these gorgeous flats they would have to be my choice! I work in a medical lab and we have to wear shoes with a heel strap and our toes covered. Very hard to find stylish shoes that don’t resemble school shoes – these are gorgeous! I would be the envy of all my workmates 🙂
Love the Jinx in mustard. These would be fantastic for summer and go with most of the colours in my wardrobe. I struggle to find styly shoes so these would be perfect.
I love the Macha heels in light tan, however, I would rather my entry go to my friend Claudine. She’s currently going through chemo for stage 4 breast cancer (terminal) & the swelling in her feet is pretty bad. She’s been desperately wanting a good quality pair of sandals that she can slip on & off while in hospital. I quite like the Sasha slides which would suit her. As friends, we don’t always have the $$$ to support her, so the few competitions we’ve entered have been for her to help tick off special bucket list items to help make this time easier to spend with her family.
I must have these Ziera Lisa flats in mustard! I’ve always had a thing for yellow tones and even wore yellow flats (Mi Piaci) on my wedding day. I have a height advantage so love beautiful flat shoes and over the years it’s been great to see brand improve their ranges as actually when I got married it was really hard to find any beautiful flat shoes. These suit my current style as I’m now ok maternity leave preparing for the arrival of no. 2 but also on the hunt for a few breast feeding friendly wedding outfits and why not start with the shoes! X
I am an extremely busy Mum of 4 older children two still at home plus a teenaged boarder,a riotous dog and a manic kitten. I work as a Resettlement Consultant forOn Arrival a company which specialises in Corporate relocations.So the IDA sandal would be perfect for me as I spend my life getting in and out of my car showing my clients houses and our lovely city.I have wide feet and I’m very particular about my shoes.
The Unity. I fly every week and need something comfy but stylish that takes me from aircraft to office.
Lisa Mustard Flats ! I have also always loved Mustard . I have a long mustard cardi that they would go so well with. And the style is very Mama and work friendly. Comfortable, flat and cheerful to the eye 🙂
Denver are cute!
Denver are cute!
I’ve had my eye on the Jinx shoes for a while now but think I might be keen on the Lisa since your write up; they’re a tad more practical with the lower heel & running around after 3 young kids!
Well, you can knock me down
Step in my face
Slander my name all over the place
Well do anything that you want to do
But uh-uh, honey Jinx me some of them blue suede shoes
The Kalani sandals in blush/light tan would be wonderful to go with jeans and dresses this summer. They look stylish yet comfortable.
I would love the mustard Lisa shoe, I love the colour. I’m struggling to find stylish comfort shoes after having plantar fasciitis for a year! I have told people at work and friends they can’t judge be my shoes! I have had to wear comfortable and not very cool shoes to keep the pain at bay. If I won these then people could totally judge me by my shoes!
Being a busy nurse and single mum of two, my current shoe options continue to fade….😱
It would be so amazing to win some new shoes, in particular the excite grey suade!
I’m on my feet so much, you could say alot!
These would make my tired feet look so sexy and hot 😍
I dont really wear shoes too high or strappy,
But these pretty numbers would make my feet so happy! 👠
Ohhh the Blossom sandals In mustard would be just the custard! The perfect sandals to go with my recent addiction to mustard (I never used to like it!). It’s such a summery colour and makes me feel so happy!
So many shoes that are gorgeous and practical, its heaven. I love the Ella in gold brush off. I like the low heel, I could wear them with shorts the weekend, to work with skirts and even out in the evening thanks to the gold finish. The colour is the perfect shimmery nude. The are glamorous, comfortable and practical without looking like a nana shoe. Perfection
Loving the Peyton snazzy sneakers from Ziera this season. I’d bounce about with a spring in me step in those!
I”m all about mustard and navy at the mo and my choice would be the “IZZY” in mustard. I just bought a gorgeous navy dress from Seed the other day and these would look perfecto with it! Sandals are my pick of summer shoes so i can do the school run in comfort and chase around after my 14 month old too!
I’m loving the Dock sneakers. Just enough zing to add some interest. I’m a dress kind of gal so these will look great with most of my wardrobe. The more comfortable the shoes the less wrinkles! Ziera shoes are always comfortable 🙂
Oh the choice! I’m heading back to part time work next year as a primary teacher, so need comfortable and good looking shoes . I’m loving on a few but I think the Ashley – pink weave, are the perfect combination of style and comfort.
I think those yellow Lisa are the pick! Although the ocean colour would be 👌
These look far too wide for your feet 🦶
I appreciate your feedback but I’m not sure why you think that Melody, it may just be the angle of one of the photos.
These are definitely a great fit – I have added all of the inners into the shoe that Ziera provide, as I do have a a narrow foot (which means they are great for wider feet too without the inserts).
Ooohhhh I love the Miami platinum brush off/black….the wedge and “pillow walk” would make them super comfortable, for a day shopping with friends, but they equally look super stylish for an evening out. Love love love
I love the Lisa in mustard – love the mustard colour but not sure about clothing in this colour so shoes would be a great introduction. For me the slight heel and shape of the shoe would suit my casual but not sloppy dress style but also with comfort for standing on my feet all day at work then home to kids, after school activities, shopping etc.
What a lovely post! Definitely need to check out Ziera. I would love a pair of Autumn 🍂 in tan!! Perfect to keep up with the little people! xx
Definitely the Ziera Shoes “Lisa” mustard flats – I work from home and spend my life either barefoot, or in socks or slippers depending on our “volatile” summer! Would love something a little quirky 🙂
I’m loving the Autumn in tan. I love my current wedges but they are black and don’t always work for a more casual affair. I also love that these have a closed toe because when you are mum of 2 in the middle of the madness of Christmas shopping painting your toe nails is definitely waaaay down the list of priorities 😆
Briar in rose gold/sherbert – chasing a daughter and her horse around it would be nice to look stylish instead of like the groom!
I would love the MADISON shoes in BLACK. They would go so well with my dresse As i work in a preschool i love been able to get dressed up at the weekends. I need some new shoes to wear with my summer wardrobe and the Madison shoes would be perfect.
The Lisa! I’m a flats only kinda mum, my poor old netball knees and ankles just can’t cope with heels anymore so always on the lookout for flats to dress up an outfit! I love midi dresses and tees as well as wide leg pants and camis so these would be perfect with both 😍
I love the Lisa in mustard suede, it’s my favourite colour at the moment, and now I’m inspired by your look book!!
I would love the diamond shoes… As I approach “middle age” I’m totally on board with making sure stylish also means comfort. For me this means throwing away my narrow fitting casual sneakers and embracing a far more comfortable fit but still maintaining a stylish appearance. Comfort is too important to sacrifice when you are running around after two kids and balancing full time post grad study. Ain’t nobody got time for sore feet in this lifetime!
Izzy in mustard. Will go with most of my wardrobe and look super comfy to be running around after my wee one. Tying really hard in general to stay away from purchasing anything black currently!
Oooh the Maple Blush/Light Tan is gorgeous! I love wearing heels and dresses in summer and the pillow walk sock is sooo comfy I would wear these all summer!
There is not a single yellow/mustard item in my wardrobe but your post has made me keen to give it a go, so I nominate the “Lisa” flats in mustard
I like Cassia in mid tan. Would look lovely with a dress, and still low enough to chase the toddler around.
Lisa Mustard Suede would add a much needed pop of colour to my wardrobe.
I love “Breeze”. Stylish yet so comfortable looking. I need something really comfy so I can easily run after my two busy toddlers.
The Lisa that you are wearing. Love a bit of colour!
I adore the Lisa shoe and the idea of having a pair in mustard scares and excites me. I have never owned anything in mustard. These shoes would be perfect for work as well as play!
The ASHLEY Gold Brush Off / Cream / Tan would work best in my wardrobe as they’re a neutral shoe that would go with any outfit. I can myself wearing them with my denim shorts and my various colored singlets for casual summer days, I can see them working well with the majority of dresses in my wardrobe for a comfortable shoe to wear all day. And I can see them working well into autumn when I’m wearing jeans and a woolen cardigan. This shoe would be asset to add to my wardrobe not only stylish, but comfortable and oh so practical too.
I’d go for the Izzy sandal I think I could wear them as casual or dress them up. I also have a developed a mum wardrobe and my go too seems to just be jandals with 99% of my clothes it’s the quickest thing to throw on when you’ve a 6month old and your trying to get out the door.
Oh and I should add that a pair of pink shoes (Shawn in Azalea) is a must because I just got my hair cut, and it is WAY TOO SHORT, and I need something to make people look at my feet instead of my head 🙂
Shawn in Azalea., because you can’t have enough pink in your life 🙂 I have a 3 year old son, so these would be perfect to wear to the park with jeans or shorts, but then I also teach children, so great to team with longer shorts and pants! So comfy, stylish, and I adore teaming a print (like black and white polka dots) with pink!
A lovely Brooklyn sandal to add flirt to a Sumner look and show off painted toes
The Omaha in light grey snake would be great for work as I need to have covered shoes and these look great with my uniform
Ziera’s “Ashley” in the Gold Brush off Cream Tan, looks incredibly comfortable to wear as a Mumma to a two year old boy and so I’m always on the go and this shoe would fabulous paired with the classic summer look denim shorts and any colored singlet. It would work well with my casual black dress & denim jacket. But if I’m needing to dress up because of i’ve got somewhere to go or just for fun I could wear it with pretty much any of the dresses I own. And then when the days get a little cooler it work well with jeans and any colored top.
This shoe would be a fabulous addition to my wardrobe as it would work with pretty much any outfit.
Lisa in mustard. Perfect with black crop pants and a crisp white shirt for the office, boyfriend jeans and tee for running around in the weekend and of course with a favourite flowing sundress to enjoy a summer barbie. Super excited to bring a pop of colour back into my wardrobe now that the sun is shining again!
Ohh it’s so hard to choose! But it’s hard to go past the Omaha in tan/navy.. they look super cute and versatile. Sadly my summer sandles died last weekend in a roll over accident, these would be the perfect replacement.
I think Billie are super cute and look like they’d go great with both skirts and pants.
Ive been wearing a lot of mustard for the last four years and i have worn out my mustard flats so would love a new stylish pair to replace the old ones
Loving this pair in mustard as well as the Autumn and Omaha – too many amazing choices 😉
The Omaha in light grey snake would fit in well with both my work and casual wear. I love wearing pink and navy and this would be the perfect choice!
Crushing on Omaha in black. And Excite (in ALL the colours!) 💟💟💟
I would love the Lisa shoes as I only wear flats and I love the low cut vamp on these which makes them very flattering.
I have 3 black pairs of Siera Shoes I am currently eyeing up for the wedding in February, however, at the moment I am loving the Utah Rose Gold Dove, they are totally out of my comfort zone but i am drawn to them. They look super comfy and versatile.
I love the Omaha shoes in navy and tan. Now I’m a mama to a six month old Bub, most of my shoes are sitting unworn in my wardrobe – heels and fancy shoes just don’t feature much in my outfits anymore! These would be perfect for day to day wear while still being stylish 🙂
I love the Ashley pink weave shoes you featured the other day – who doesn’t love a pink shoe! I wear orthodics so Zierra is the only shop I buy my shoes from. Even though these don’t fit my orthodic inserts I know they will be comfortable. Not to mention super cute!
I love Orna in rose gold/summer tan. The perfect, stylish shoes for summer!
Love the ‘Autumn’ ZIera shoes. These would look stylish with all my wardrobe and because I stand a lot in my job would be so comfy.
The Indie show. I can wear so few nice shoes as I have large full length orthotics but these ones look like shoes other women can wear.
