    Easy on shoes

    Found a shoe maker that has some shoes that open up completely but look relatively normal.
    Ordered some, will post about how I find them : http://www.cosyfeet.com/

    Those looked really interesting … until I saw the price! .

    But I suppose really, they would be hard wearing and last a long time, just not sure on the extra roomy bit, I don’t really need extra roomy, just flat with velcro fastening.

    Flat shoes? I am using a heel riser for extra stability with the contractures.

    Anything with velcro would be good for me too.
    My current shoes are designed like slippers,
    they were popular about six years ago and
    I can not find anything similar to them that I can get on as easily.

    One problem I suspect these might have is that they will be heavy.

    ive most defo found that nike shox are more comfy and supportive on the ankle. i tried to talk my daughter into letting me wear them with my suit, to her wedding but got a resounding NO. so i asked if i could wear my docs. dr martin boots to you youngsters. i also got a resounding NO. so she bought me some smart shoes. which when i walked her down the isle, were lethal. all i can say is, it was like i had two ice blocks strapped to my feet. slippy isnt the word. :lol:

    I did order and try a pair of shoes from them, but although they were supposedly their wider fitting found they squashed my toes. So I’ve ended up buying from http://www.widerfitshoes.co.uk, who do specialise in wider and deeper fittings. And the shoes do look ok.

    Although price is little higher than reasonable, I heartily appreciate this cool collection of summer footwear. Thanks for sharing link. I am wondering if they are dealing in kate spade boots. If yes, please let me know.
