Broken leg ☹️ v swollen foot. Need shoes

5 replies

I broke my leg and have had two surgeries including two plates and pins. My foot is now very swollen, so have bought men’s trainers in a bigger size for everyday use.

Unfortunately I need smart shoes to wear with black dress for a funeral. Was thinking black patent loafers.

Any suggestions? I’m not walking properly or very far yet, so definitely flat shoes. Foot is wider and fatter depth-wise. Toes are also very large and a bit misshapen now 😢

Need to be delivered and will need to order multiple sizes as I’ve no clue what size my foot actually is now.

Hope someone can help 🌻

Skechers run wide and big, they also have smarter flat ballerina styles.

I'm an 8 wide everywhere, sometimes a 9. In Skechers I'm a size 7.

Check sports direct (i know they're bastards so would understand if that's an ethical issue), Debenhams and m&m direct for sale stock.

I'm sorry for your loss.
Have a look at Evans, Marks and Spencer, ASOS and other wide shoe stockists. There are online and YouTube guides to measuring your shoe size.
Maybe go for a bigger size or half size and use insoles to fill the space more comfortably. You can remove the insoles too if your feet swell during the day.

I'm sure no-one will care, just make sue you dress appropriately apart from your foot. You can't help that you broke your foot.
