The elusive perfect summer shoe/sandal/mule with a small wedge/heel for someone with neuromas and Achilles tendonitis????.....

[Iambuffy]

No back, so toe post or mule.
Small heel needed as I can no longer wear flats due to nodules on both Achilles tendons but not too high due to Morton's neuromas.
Sigh.
Black or white leather preferably.
Help me!
Size 5 please......
(Cries a bit)

(I used to wear gabor lanzarote style but they are too flat now....)

I can only wear Hotter extra wide or Crocs- takes the pressure off the neuromas and the soft soles cushion my feet.
Any other brands render me unable to walk.

Crocs are too flat.
My feet are also very wide, for got to mention that!
Seemingly an impossible ask :(

Fit Flops? See the huge range on the sponsored thread above

I shall look...

Some Crocs sandals have heels. But I appreciate they aren't everone's cup of tea.

I got stretchy sandals from Pavers last summer that were not beautiful, not stylish but so kind to my neuroma-surgery-recovery feet that I nearly cried with joy whenever I wore them (which was every day!) I recommend the neurectomy surgery; I’ve had both feet done and that terrible pain is a thing of the past. I can wear whatever sandals I want this summer!

Palmaira sandals are great and come in loads of colours and designs.

Not sure why that posted twice, obviously I’m just really enthusiastic about them

Thank you!
It's ridiculous.
Can't wear heels due to neurons but can't wear flats due to tendonitis!
Argh.
I quite like one of the fit flip ones....I shall continue searching

'Hotter' tourist sandal?

www.hotter.com/gb/en/resort-sandals?fit=Standard+Fit&colour=Gold%20Texture

I got this style in a different colour last year. They are very comfortable and their 'standard' fit is pretty wide.

Gah! Meant to link to the white ones, not gold.

Hi bore
I tried those (in white) last year and I had to give them away!
They were really uncomfortable.
I also tried some from marks and clarks. Can't wear either as too uncomfy/too flat.
I ended up the whole summer in cheap Primark ballerinas which have caused the tendonitis :(

Oh, what a shame.

What about Birkenstocks? Too flat?

The ones I've seen are. They seem a bit "utilitarian" to me too :)
It's a nightmare

...but thank you very much for your help!

Is the Neuroma painful? I have ache between 4th and 5th toe if I put weight on it, and tingling. Not sure what it is. Can you live with neuromas?
I have plantar fasciitis as it is and wear vionic wave sandal which is good. Might be ok for you

Mayari are nice and lots of different colours/patterns.

Mine are.
Mine are between my 3rd and 4th toes. Both dx by ultrasound many years ago
High heels are a definite no no

Oo Vionics look nice!

I have very very wide feet though.

Me too :(
Like a hobbit :(

Mine are also size 9! AND they swell in the hot weather! (top trumps)

I would love to just be able to go into a shoe shop, see a style I like in a colour I like and be pretty sure that they would fit.

I've just bought these from QVC - they are by Vionic. They are orthotic - feel as if they will need some wearing in. Loads of different colours.
