Jeez, Geez... Good question...
I've got duck feet myself, so finding good shoes has been a lifelong
problem.
Now I've got swelling and edema too..
For the past two years I've been wearing a pair of Skechers. They
were the only label I found that were making something for W I D E
feets like mine. They're comfortable, support my high arches, and
seem to be wearing *extremely* well (though I don't do 1/10 as much
walking as I used to BCP).
A further note - A year or so ago, I happened to visit a cousin in the
hospital who is my age. He also has wide feet & high arches/instep.
Don't know why, but out of curiosity, I asked him what kind of shoes
he was wearing nowadays (hadn't had contact with him in many years).
Turns out he's been wearing the same brand for the same reasons.
Good hunting.
Oh, the pain... THE PAIN...

Hey guys,
What kind of attire goes with chronic pain, other than a noose in place of a
tie? Is there any kind (brand, whatever) that seems to help. I am
particularly looking for some everyday type of shoes. I did the Scholl's
sneakers, and will never buy another pair. I used to have a pair of Redwing
climbing boot and once broken in, they were the best shoes I ever owned.
Support everywhere and came up to mid calf. not the ones you see guys
wearing that come up to their knees. Steel toes are the kiss of death too
unless you like toes numbered in 4 or less. These were for climbing, but I
don't care if they;re from the Acme Company (roadrunner division) if they're
going to keep me comfortable and in one piece. It would be real nice if I
could get some to dealwith these crazy weight fluctuations. Somedays a 12..5
EEEE fits fine, but when swollen, I can't even get a slipper on.
So I got a feeling I'm not getting a single answer to this question but
several. That's fine. I just want comfort and support Don't need to climb
mountain or phone poles, just getting me through the day without a massive
cramp from the hips down would be acceptability. Light shoes would be nice
but not that important a factor. I'm not going to be doing any races or
marathons, or even jumping out the window, as the husband walks in the door.
Those days are behind me now.
But I need some all around good shoes and price is no object. It will be but
for this discussion it's not.
Help my aching dawgs--og
