For Swollen Feet

11 replies

The opposite of style and beauty, if you like. My sister has medical issues which have caused her lower body to swell considerably. The problem is footwear, her feet are about twice as "thick" as they should be and so no footwear we can think of fits her, not even velcro adjustable strap sandals or crocs.

So, does anyone have any ideas for footwear please?

Extra wide fit flip flops for day to day?

@Fighterofthenightman1 Thank you, but I tried that, no where near wide enough. Her feet really are 2 or 3 times normal size.

Look at Cosyfeet, I've just googled and they seem very wide. Really not pretty at all but needs must sometimes.

Depending on her age you could try Cosyfeet

I'm an eee fit due to lymphedema so I can't imagine how she feels being even bigger than mine.

No advice as mine aren't as bad but solidarity from me and hope she can find something xx

I would wear shoes with laces and maybe gets some compression socks for when she is lying flat

Can she get shoes prescribed? My dad got special adjustable fit boots via a podiatrist I think as he has very swollen feer where nothing fits.
