Mother’s Day is the first Sunday in May, and it’s the perfect time to give something that will truly surprise her. If you don’t know what to gift, Pitas footwear is an excellent option to surprise her on Mother’s Day.
When is Mother’s Day in Spain and around the world?
In Spain and Portugal, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of May. In 2026, that date falls on Sunday, May 3rd, unlike most European countries, which celebrate it on the second Sunday of the same month.
With good weather already settled in, it’s also one of the best times of the year to renew footwear. A comfortable, lightweight pair with personality is usually a great gift choice, and at WalkinPitas there are several categories that fit this profile well.
Original gift ideas for Mother’s Day
Finding the perfect gift doesn’t have to be complicated if you choose comfort and style for everyday life.
Moving away from traditional gifts and opting for functional footwear is, without a doubt, one of the most original and practical alternatives. For the spring-summer season, breathable, lightweight, and versatile shoes become the ideal ally so your mother can enjoy her daily routines and weekend getaways with total freedom.
To surprise her and get it right, you can choose ultra-light urban sneakers made of mesh or cotton, perfect for active mothers who want to reduce muscle fatigue without giving up style.
If you prefer a more casual touch, practical backless clog-style shoes with EVA platforms or classic boat shoes reinvented in fresh fabrics are safe choices. These designs not only make them easy to slip on but also provide extra freshness and unmatched comfort for all her summer outfits.
Wallabis: comfortable and versatile
Wallabis are one of the best footwear alternatives to gift your mother on her special day.
Their silhouette is simple yet distinctive, as they adapt to the foot thanks to the Easy On system with elastic laces, allowing them to be worn and removed without tying or untying. The sole is made of ultra-light EVA, and most models feature a removable insole.
The most outstanding wallabi models are the following:
Lotto, the cotton wallabi for warm weather
The Lotto model is designed to provide effective relief for mothers during the hottest months of the year.
Its outer construction is made of cotton, reinforced with suede details, and it includes an inner lining also made of the same material, helping maintain foot comfort throughout the day.
To ensure cushioned steps, this shoe features a removable EVA and leather insole, along with a four-centimeter block-style sole made of ultra-light EVA.
This structure reduces joint strain after long hours of activity, making it a highly functional shoe that easily adapts to casual spring outfits, whether with skirts or jeans.
Wallabi WP150 Linen: cotton and linen blend
The design of the WP150 Linen is intended to simplify the daily routine of mothers who prioritize comfort with every step. Its upper is made from a cotton and linen blend, two fibers that ensure proper foot ventilation as spring temperatures rise.
This shoe structure provides a relaxed fit that avoids unnecessary pressure. It is a practical option that delivers physical well-being during long days while maintaining the lightness characteristic of this footwear category.
Boat shoes for Mother’s Day: between sneaker and shoe
Boat shoes occupy that middle ground between sporty and elegant. They pair easily with different clothing styles and are especially practical when the weather is good.
The women’s collection includes washed cotton models, fresh and with color details that move away from the classic nautical style.
The Cefalú is a perfect example, combining cotton and suede in its construction. It is also ultra-light and flexible, offering a functional design that works both with jeans and more formal looks. Elastic laces make it easy to put on, making it a practical everyday shoe.
Camping: a different option to surprise on Mother’s Day
The women’s Camping collection is the perfect alternative if you are looking for an original gift with a charming touch of nostalgia.
This sneaker model, once a true icon of comfort and relaxed style in 1970s Spain, returns to accompany outdoor plans and well-deserved moments of relaxation. With its casual spirit, it offers a unique and versatile aesthetic that sets it apart from conventional footwear, adding a fresh touch to spring outfits.
All models are made of soft cotton, ensuring maximum lightness and breathability with every step.
Additionally, to ensure this retro aesthetic is matched with modern ergonomics, they feature a 2 cm ultra-light EVA sole that absorbs impact, complemented by a practical removable EVA and leather insole.
Clogs for Mother’s Day: Monaco and Caparica
The clogs section has two clearly differentiated women’s models, both very comfortable for maximum breathability and instant slip-on wear without laces or complications:
The Monaco model is made of 100% cotton fabric and combines functionality with lightness. It is available in a wide range of colors, including navy, yellow, white, coral, orange, green, pink, black, or denim, making it easy to find the perfect match for any wardrobe.
The Caparica follows the same spirit but with a different finish: it combines a wallabi-style upper with embroidered details and a 4 cm ultra-light EVA sole. The upper is 100% cotton, as is the inner lining, and the insole is removable EVA and leather. It has a more visually distinctive character than the Monaco.
Sneakers to surprise on Mother’s Day: best alternatives
The women’s sneaker collection includes several distinct models designed for different profiles.
Claw Mesh: retro, comfortable and versatile
The Claw Mesh model features a classic sporty aesthetic that fits easily into everyday life. Its outer structure is made from a combination of polyester and water-repellent suede.
The inclusion of mesh panels is not only aesthetic but also a technical feature to ensure proper foot ventilation during warmer months.
At the bottom, these summer sneakers feature an ultra-light EVA sole combined with non-slip rubber inserts. This structure effectively absorbs impact while walking on urban surfaces, reducing joint fatigue.
Sitges: versatile sneakers made of cotton and suede
The Sitges sneakers offer a functional balance between traditional footwear and urban agility.
The upper uses breathable cotton, ideal for maintaining a proper internal temperature, strategically reinforced with suede pieces for added durability in high-wear areas.
To facilitate daily use, they incorporate an elastic lace system that allows quick wearing and removal without manual tying.
Cue Woman, the lightest and most breathable option
The Cue Woman is made from a single-piece mesh fabric using 100% recycled PET polyester bottles.
The elastic collar makes it easy to put on and the insole is a removable Memory Foam. It is the most breathable model in the collection and ideal for mothers who prioritize freshness and lightness above all else.
Sandals for Mother’s Day: Claire and Maple
Sandals are the perfect footwear for summer days, beach trips, and warm weather. With them, your mother can enjoy maximum comfort with great style.
The Claire model is made of polyester and spandex with a textile inner lining, an ultra-light EVA insole, and a 3.5 cm EVA sole.
It is a casual, lightweight sandal designed for the hottest days, available in beige, coral, black, green, and aqua. Simple and easy to match.
The Maple shares the same polyester and spandex construction and fits the foot well. Like the Claire, it features an ultra-light EVA sole and a comfortable insole. It is available in sand, black, and aqua, offering a slightly different aesthetic alternative to the Claire.
