Hi Rosehip have you tried Churopody shoes designed for those of us with foot problems, I Googled them this morning and they have a great variety of shoes maybe you will find something that suits Hugs Sparkie x

have you tried fitflop? discovered them a few years ago and now they are all i own. the foot pain hasnt gone but it is certainly a whole lot better! i have there summer flipflops the pro gogh clogg and the boots. al year covered. they have also reduced my hip pain , lowerback and leg!

How about Birkenstocks. I have wide feet and can't bear anything closed in on the back apart from trainers. I ave even been know to go out in the now with backless shoes... No socks either lol

Hope you find something xx

Hiya Rosehip I wear crocs mostly all year round. They have quite a good range & style. I tried the similar looking shoe/ sandal & they do not have same comfort as original crocs.

I get them on line as cheaper than shops, also got fitflops, i will be looking at the sugestions on hear from other fibromites, as i plantar fascitis & calcium spurs & some even sound comfy lol, hope you find something take care xx.

As someone said, make sure they have good support and sandals or flip-flops are possible. In the summer, I live in my Reef flip-flops that have thick molded soles (so good arch support) and wide well cut straps. They never cause me issues, but thin, flat flip-flops give me so much pain so quickly! The better made ones are more expensive, but mine have always lasted really well (typically 3-4 years of wearing them all summer long).
