When I was diagnosed with Scleroderma in 2003, my feet swelled and I could not get into all of my nice shoes, and the soles of my feet felt like I was walking on gravel. I bought a pair Soft Walk clogs to wear to work, and a pair of Burkenstock clogs to wear in the house as slippers.

A couple of years ago I was channel surfing, and I saw Vionic footwear on QVC. It just so happened that their Today’s Special Value was a mock style slipper, so I took a chance, and I figured that if they didn’t fit, I had 30 days to return them. They are the best slippers I have ever purchased. My feet are happy, and the color makes me smile.

Wishing you many miles of comfort in yours.

My feet were turned wrong in childhood–had to wear heavy orthotic saddle shoes into my teens, and then the only choice was brown or black saddles. Have NEVER been able to wear heels over an inch, and now with arthritis deforming my toes, I have to stick to flat shoes with ample toe caps. I have a couple pairs of shoes that work well with the dressy-casual that prevails at school, but nothing for getting really dressed up. I will definitely check out Vionics.
