Best Shoes For Swelling, Bunions, and other inconveniences
Carol's Journey Finding Hope in Shoes for Foot Swelling
Carol's Story
Carol has lived with primary lymphedema her entire life, making finding the right shoes a constant struggle. Throughout her journey, she’s faced low expectations and the frustration of limited options. Despite these challenges, she found hope and comfort in discovering shoes that finally met her needs, sharing her story to inspire others facing similar difficulties.
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.
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.
