My elderly mother has a variety of foot problems including bunions, bandaged sores on her toes and edema (swelling).  She needed extra-wide shoe with A LOT of room in the toe box that were easy to put on and take off.  These fit the bill perfectly!  The velcro makes it a snap for her to put them on and take them off by herself.  There is plenty of room for her toes and we have been adjusting them to suit her changing needs by adding and removing the thin insoles and her orthotics.  (We bought the first pair at a specialty shoe shop, and she took 1/2 size larger than she measured, so it's possible the shoe runs short.)  She now has two pairs --- our favorite is the brown croc model is a beautiful reddish-brown-patent/black-fabric color combination that goes well with everything, including black clothes.  She gets lots of compliments on them which makes her very happy.  And I am really grateful to have found them.
