You’re Not the Problem. Your Shoes Are.

We’ve helped thousands of people with swelling find shoes that actually fit, and we bring that experience into every sizing recommendation. Pandere was built around solving swelling through volume-based footwear — giving people real comfort where traditional sizing fails.

Here's why nothing has worked—until now.

You're Not Alone

Standard shoes assume standard feet. We designed ours to expand exactly where real people need room—without giving up structure or style.

The Problem: Shoes Are Built in Two Dimensions

Standard shoes are built in only two dimensions — length and width — but swollen or asymmetrical feet exist in three. Traditional footwear doesn’t account for foot volume, wraps, or shape differences, which is why so many people are forced to size up or settle for shoes that still don’t fit.

Pandere designs expandable, adjustable-volume shoes that offer real flexibility within the limits of ready-made footwear, and our patented construction gives our uppers more give and structure where people need it most. We help people with swelling, lymphedema, shape issues like bunions, and anyone who has one foot different from the other. And because every situation is different, we offer personalized sizing support using real measurements—not guesswork—to help determine whether our shoes will match your foot volume.

Made for the Feet the World Forgot

What I Couldn’t Find, I Had to Create

Shoes are built for standard feet—but many of us live with swelling, bunions, hammer toes, braces, or other shape differences that don’t fit the mold. Founder Laura has lymphedema, and like millions of others, she spent decades trying to fit two feet that weren’t always the same size into shoes that were never designed for real foot volume or changing needs.

Comfort Out of the Box

Expandable Heel, Midfoot, and Toebox

Expandable toe box, mid foot and ankle adjustments provide ample room and comfort. Designed specifically to alleviate foot pain and discomfort right out of the box.

Not Sure What Size to Choose?

Buying shoes for swollen or hard-to-fit feet can be tricky—standard sizes don’t always tell the full story. By chatting with us before you buy, you get personalized advice tailored to your unique foot shape and condition, so you can order with confidence and avoid the hassle of returns or discomfort. Many people with swelling find our Two Step style especially effective for accommodating changing foot volume.

Real help. Real fit. Real comfort.
