Lymphedema is a condition that causes swelling. This is often caused by a damaged lymphatic system as a result of medical treatment or trauma. People with lymphedema often struggle to find shoes to accommodate their swollen feet and or ankles. Pandere Shoes offer expansion in the midfoot, ankle, and toe box area. Since one foot may swell while the other foot is normal, having a pair of shoes that can be easily tightened and loosened is important. Pandere shoes provide compression on feet that can help a person with swelling to feel better.

Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. Foot problems are common in people with diabetes. Problems include nerve damage, numbness, swelling, and slow healing wounds. People with diabetes should not go barefoot which may put them at risk for cuts and abrasions. Look for a wide and deep shoe with a soft smooth interior that does not rub. Pandere Shoes have wide and extra-wide toe boxes with built-in expansion for toes. Our shoes are designed to expand in the toe box, midfoot and ankle areas. Pandere’s closed-toe styles all have a removable insole and are orthotic friendly.

Edema from Venous Insufficiency causes high pressure in leg veins and causes fluid to leak out and build up in the legs due to the effects of gravity.

Braces and AFOs are devices that are worn on the feet and ankles inside a shoe. They are designed to stabilize the foot and ankle area. Braces assist with healing from injury or can protect from further injury. Braces come in many styles and sizes and are used for injuries and also chronic conditions. Braces can take up an enormous amount of space so finding a shoe that will accommodate a brace can be a big challenge. Pandere Shoes are ideal with many braces because they provide expansion in the midfoot and ankle areas. Pandere closed-toe shoes have removable insoles.

Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes inflammation and swelling of the plantar fascia. This is the band of connective tissue that links the heel bone to the toes along the bottom of the foot. Plantar fasciitis can also cause swelling of the feet. With plantar fasciitis, inflammation may be noticed on the bottom of the foot where the arch meets the heel bone. People with plantar fasciitis need to be able to tighten up a shoe to provide additional support. However, when there is swelling also involved, it can be a tricky combination to accommodate swelling (which requires more room) and plantar fasciitis (which requires support). Pandere Shoes are ideal for addressing this combination problem. Our shoes are designed to expand to accommodate the swelling, but they can be tightened to provide needed support. Over-the-counter or custom orthotics can be very useful for plantar fasciitis. Pandere’s closed-toe shoes have removable insoles and are orthotic friendly.

A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big toe. It occurs when some of the bones in the front part of your foot move out of place.

A hammer toe has an abnormal bend in the middle joint of a toe. A hammer toe is usually caused by wearing shoes with high heels or narrow toe boxes.

Pandere Shoes also have soft interiors, with little seams, that provide comfort for sensitive toes.

Pregnancy is a very common cause of foot swelling, especially in the third trimester. The pressure of the growing baby can cause fluid to build up in the legs, ankles, and feet.
