How John Found the Perfect Shoes for Lymphedema

John's Story
John’s journey with Milroy’s disease left him struggling with swelling in one foot. In this video, he shares how Pandere Shoes became his game-changer, restoring his comfort and mobility.
At Pandere, we imagine shoes differently.
Pandere was created because Founder/CEO Laura Oden – and millions of people just like her – can't fit into regular shoes. She has had lymphedema for most of her life and people like Laura need shoes that accommodate two feet that aren’t always the same size. This can be caused not only by lymphedema, but by a host of other conditions including pregnancy, diabetes, edema, bunions and many more.

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.
We're not like other shoe companies.
All of us with hard-to-fit feet hit the same wall when it comes to finding comfortable shoes that actually FIT! We feel marginalized and ignored by shoe companies.
People with conditions that cause foot and leg swelling can be on an endless search for a shoe that fits. We get it! Without shoes that fit, you're relegated to less mobility, increased risk of abrasions, cellulitis and all kinds of discomforts or disasters.
Our mission: To give people their mobility and dignity back.
Our shoes expand in ways that off-the-rack shoes don't. With our patented expansion system, Pandere shoes are the world's first expandable footwear, designed to provide the comfort and confidence you deserve. Pandere Shoes is giving people their lives back.
