Help with shoes!

Hi

Does anyone recommend shoes that don't hurt them, but look fashionable?

I am looking for boots for the winter, but I also struggle with sandals, night out shoes and anything that is in fashion that I can't wear because of the pain!

I have wide feet too :(

Thank you!!!

Just done an online shop hun--- try looking at Crocs, they make sandals slippers boots and shoes, quit snazzy designs to. I have the ugly ones because they have arch supports, heel cushions, and toe grippers, I,ve also got some strappy summer sandals , I too have wide feet, and I often wear my old theatre clogs which are crocs, we dispensed of wooden ones for crocs as they can all be put in the ashing machine-- no more smelly feet!

Hey Lovely,

I live in Uggs, they are so soft on my feet, and do half sizes which is brilliant as you can completely adjust to your feet! I have loads of different colours and styles and as they have grip bottoms I don't slip as much xxx

Uggs always think of my nana with those brown boots.

I've a pair of uggs for the winter ... my mother in law picked them up at a car boot sale new for £5 for my daughter and she wouldn't wear them ...so I got them. They are lovely and warm and cosy xxx

Hi Sophie,

I virtually live in Skechers, (hope I am allowed to mention without causing a breach in advertising) They are so comfortable and like you I have very wide feet. Last winter I even managed to buy some warm furry Skechers boots. I bought my most recent pair from their website and they have lots of choice. I can no longer manage to wear high heels, so I find these ideal for me. Hope you get something comfortable :)

Ditto what phlebo123 said. I live more or less in skechers now ... got pair of trainers, pair of go walk shoes, pair of mary-jane style shoes and pair of winter boots. They're supportive and very comfortable. I certainly notice the difference if I wear other shoes. Don't generally wear heels anymore but I'll be looking for skecher sandals next summer - then again I was very comfortable in £1 pair of flip flops!

Hi I suffer with sore feet so heels are out for me now days :0/ but I find a not too high wedge quite good I suppose you get a bit more support from a wedge I also have wide feet an big muscley calves !skechers are good but also heavenly feet are good an newlook also do a wide fit as well x

On a well known social network I hear people talk about Memory Foam Sketchers but I haven't got any myself so cannot comment on how good they are for people with Fibro. I see others have mentioned this brand too, so it might be something to consider maybe :)

I know it's difficult.

I love "wolky" shoes. All of their shoes have removable foot beds so you can wear them with orthotics. They have also boots and dressy shoes. Hope you find something that suits your feet

I'm a Hotter girl, soft leather, removable foot beds (which are good if you need a little support) and a great range of styles, widths and colours all in one place or on the internet :-)

I hope you find 'comfy feet' :-)
