  All I ever where is tennis shoes mostly every day--when i was in rehab they told us all to buy one size larger-i was a 10 but now buy 11. That way it is easy for care givers to get on and off , plus don't sqeeze feet. on occassion i'll wear dressy soft seude shoes or sandles .

Footwear and shoes will vary among the sexes. You won't see me wearing high heels, thank you. (lol) For a few, footwear is not a major issue, but for many others, it has to be just right. Often, as the day wears on, so may the footwear due to foot swelling or sweating. Hence, it really becomes
