I have struggled for years to find shoes, sneakers, or even sandals, that would fit without rubbing and causing pain with my bunions and hammer toes. I talked to Josie here at ICS, and she gave me expert recommendations in just minutes, telling me that my width immediately ruled out women's shoes, and that I needed extra room in the toe box, along with extra depth and allowances for edema and fluctuating swelling. She worked with me on the phone while she gave me item numbers to type in on the website so I could view her 2 top choices. She then added that the second style had some sort of plastic wedge in the tip, so she believed her first recommendation, with a woven, breathable fabric, would work the best.
I admit, I was sceptical, but I was also desperate to find a sneaker with adequate support to wear after bunion surgery, so I ordered them. THEY FIT LIKE A GLOVE!!!! I also had the option of taking out the insert inside, which gave me even more depth, and makes them super comfy while I'm getting back on my feet after my recent bunion surgery.
She also recommended Dr. Comfort socks in a specific type and size at my request, which are also great, and don't bind around the shin area.
I couldn't be happier with the sneakers, and with her assistance! She also answered a question afterward via email about the delivery window, and the sneakers arrived just when she said they would, despite the winter weather!
You can order here with confidence, and I hope everyone who does, has the same wonderful experience that I've had!
