Customer request: Footwear for bunions, swelling & an orthotic

To say I have problem feet is the understatement of the year. I swell across my instep, I have bunions, I wear an orthotic and I’m diabetic. Help!

Customer request: To say I have problem feet is the understatement of the year. I swell across my instep, I have bunions and I wear an orthotic. I’m also diabetic so I need to be careful with seams. Which style do you recommend?

Liz, Cosyfeet Shop Manager & Fitting Expert, says:

The shoe that immediately springs to mind is Alison. It’s a very useful problem-solver as it fits a variety of tricky feet. You’ll find the leather feels lovely and soft and it’s also seam-free. It’s very wide and deep so it’s ideal for your bunions. It opens down to the toes so it’s easy to put on if you have lots of swelling. It also has a cushioned footbed which you can take out and replace with your own orthotic.
