what a great thread... and i hope to contribute more later... but what has absolutely saved my feet are my Old Friends slippers. i haven't worn shoes (on both feet at the same time!) in 9 years... but when i must have something covering these huge, swollen, purple blobs at the end of my legs? my size 10.5 old friends are just the thing. (i ordered several sizes up from my former pre-crps shoe size, plus the slipper/shoes are adjustable)

they are sheepskin covered with suede, open-toed -- i cannot even tolerate socks, though in the first year with crps i must have purchased several dozen different types. i could open a Sock Bank...


this attachment (if i did this right!) shows what the shoes look like:
