Tell Your Pedors Story #3 - Donna J - Shoes For Lymphedema and Lipodema

Do you mind sharing in general terms your primary foot issue or issues?

I have Lipo/lymphedema pretty much everywhere but it is focused primarily in my legs. I wear Velcro wraps to contain swelling so it will not get worse. My first pair of Pedors were for use while I was in decongestive therapy with 3 layers of wraps. After that once I got my wraps I needed shoes for every day use. I got both the slides and step in shoes. They have been a lifesaver for me. The slides are good for around the house, easy to get on and off. The step ins I wear out and for walking. 

What convinced you to give Pedors a go?

There are very few shoes available for extra wide feet and with wraps it is really hard. I belong to several Facebook groups and I share the shoe with them. The Velcro makes it easy to adjust for swelling and I can wear them without my wraps as well.

Now that you have a pair of Pedors, what features of the product you chose do you like best (ease of use, light weight, stretch upper etc.)?

Everything about these shoes makes my life easier!  I have arthritis so getting them on and off is easy. They are very well made, and lightweight to boot. The shoe is very nice looking and I am confident walking in them. 

In what ways have your Pedors shoes impacted your quality of life?

These shoes have been a God send. I did not know what I would do without them!  People with lymphedema often resort to buying men’s shoes in a bigger size to be able to get them on. That can lead to tripping and falling.

For people reading who may be considering buying a pair of Pedors for themselves, but have yet to take the plunge, would you encourage them to do so?

Yes, yes, yes!  They are very well made but light weight and so comfortable!  I encourage everyone to give them a try. Plus free returns and fantastic customer service is a bonus. I had to return one pair, but no problem and I got the replacements quickly!
