I have found two shoes that I can wear, that are roomy in the toe,
wide enough - and are easy to frequently re-adjust.
The New Balance Velcro (also called 'hook & loop') Walkers, -570 series (573,574,575 etc).
NB makes other 'Velcro'Walkers at a higher price,
but I've not tried them, yet - & Dr Scholl's Velcro Walkers
(I like the 'Macau' Walker)
The NB's are about $65 (free shipping) on-line, from 'Zappos' - www.zappos.com (I get them at a discount family shoe outlet for $49.99- when they have them) and the Dr. Scholl's are about $39.99 at the factory outlet. (They're not at Zappos)

Socks from Footsmart are very nice,
& I have found good diabetic (I'm not) socks on eBay at:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Worlds-Softest-M...l%3FMyEbayBeta
at about $19.95 for 3 pair. There are also cheaper diabetic socks at eBay & you can get them by the dozen for about $2-$4 a pair.
I have used both and prefer the 'World's Softest'
