Oh Carol Thank you so much. Now I know where to look.
I was going to try Zappos. My feet have changed so much
since I had the BKTR. I will look for the diabetic socks too.

Again thank so much for your help/

I will let you know how I get along.

Hugs, Vicki

Hi:


Try Zappos.com and search for wide width shoes. Easy return policy and shipping. Some easy socks are: "fluffies" by Gold Toe. I have found them a the Gold Toe Outlet in Massachusetts (Wrentham to be exact),Macy's and Walmart (if I get lucky); maybe the website may ship to you. Also: Target carries Diabetic white socks near the pharmacy. They are usually found hanging on an endcap.

My dad is a diabetic and these are THE ONLY SOCKS HE BUYS!! he has 4E wide feet size 12 and they fit like a dream without problems.


Good luck and let me know what you think.


Regards, carol

Hi guys and gals, I have a question and hope someone
can help me. 3 yrs out from BKTR....didnt work for me.
When your knees are not right...your back hurts all the
time.

OK...I am having a hard time finding shoes to fit.
I have been wearing my little furry cotton booties
alot since I had the knees done. I have one pair
of NEW BALANCE sneakers and they are just about
gone now.

Seems like my feet have spread out some during
this time. I cannot find shoes to fit my foot.
Also, being diabetic I need seamless toe cotton
socks that are a wide width.

Does anyone else have trouble finding shoes to fit ??
I have a short very wide foot.
I think maybe a size 6 width 2E and ordered some from
NEW BALANCE and they hurt my feet so have to send them
back.

Does anyone know a good place to find a small size
wide width shoe ?? Also, diabetic cotton socks
wide width. I have searched the internet and cant
find anything. Anyone else have this problem ??

If you can help I would be so greatful.
Please anyone ??
