Footwear ideas for swollen feet post-op

Hi. Mum is now 6 weeks post CABG3 and altho better still has quite swollen feet. Am sure time will help, but relying on inappropriate footwear doesn't help her mobility or safety. Any hints or tips - she usually has ortho inserts as well!

Hi.

She may find wider fitting shoes helps. This company offer a measurement system so you can order shoes that fit. Hope this helps and that the oedema settles over time.

Cosyfeet! Extra wide, extra deep to take ortho inserts, cater for swollen feet, swollen legs and more, plus easy to openbup and get on. Excellent service, no quibble guarantee, plus you can claim vat relief. Cant recommend highly enough. My mum has heart failure and I lost count of the failed shopping trips etc

All online but easy to do.
