My strong advice: TRY ON shoes, don't just order from online. Even with Zappo's, which has a seriously generous free ship/free return policies, the entire process is (for me) too time consuming and exhausting. If you do order online, stick with companies like Zappo's or you're going to be stuck with nasty re-stocking fees.

Take a drive to a store that specializes in quality shoes. Try several types. I have "grown" from a size 8 to a 9.5 over the past 3 yrs due to osteoarthritis, neuropathy, neuromas, AND chronic regional pain syndrome. I stick with shoes that have rounded toe areas AND ample toe bed. I don't like memory gel. Sometimes must go with a Wide Width, but not always. Have had to accept not being able to use stylish shoes/boots anymore, embracing athletic wear such as Skechers, New Balance, Acis, Merrell, and a couple of others. Prefer no-lacing styles b/c I can't stand having to deal with the somewhat sloppy look of the laces. For me, footwear with velcro across the top of the foot just do not work (inflicts pain). When I find a pair that I like, I'll buy a second in same or another color. I have a small shoehorn that helps with getting foot into the footwear when needed. I avoid open-toe styles, wanting my tootsies protected. I have a pair that I use as an indoor shoe, never having my toes exposed to possibility of being damaged (prior to these, I BROKE two toes, different times). I cannot be without footwear in the house because the sole is just too painful then. Slippers don't cut it. I found a pair of Merrell athletic shoes in TJMax for under $50, selling online for $175. Made my day! I just refuse to wear stodgy, clunky, ugly orthopedic shoes. When my feet are happier, it releases the "pain look" on my face and my body relaxes also.

A tip: I sometimes will try on a selected footwear, to make sure of size, width. Then I can order online if there is a substantial price difference. I strongly recommend avoiding Amazon, which has had marketers with knock-offs and imperfect items. Kohl's has incredible sales plus coupon offers, and their return policy is outstanding.

I like Sketchers walking shoes. There are many different types and they have a wide size which I need. Also for around the house a Vionic Shoe called a Carlin Slipper with arch support. Very comfortable. They are mules so they slip on and off easily. $79 and I really like them

I used to love mules...unfortunately can't wear them with pain issues. Bummer!

It does have an arch support and small lip around the heel. That may make the difference. They are easy to return. They have places to drop them off. See their website vionicshoes.com

I buy Columbia high tops. My foot doctor says if you can bend them in half they are not going to support your feet. My feet already have the atrophy (lost of muscle). They want to go where ever they want. They just do not mind. I paid almost 250.00 dollars. I used to buy Z-Coil shoes but since I have lost my balance I can’t wear them. They are great for people with hip and back pain. Those shoes also last a long time. They have lasted over fours years. I need to find some more. My foot doctor said no to sketchers not enough support and can possibly cause it to progress faster. Since you have no support in your feet. Sketchers bend in half really easy. Take a shoe lay it flat bend the heel towards the toe if they bend really easy not a good pair of shoes and does not support feet and arch support. I see a foot doctor who’s speciality is foot neuropathy and nerve damage.

Have you tried Sketchers max cushioning? They don’t bend in half and really help if you just buy slip ins, not laces. Works for me.
