I miss all my old shoes too. I went through my closet and gave away 38 pairs of shoes and 17 bags of clothes that I can no longer wear because of the RSD. Made me so sad to give away my pretty shoes. Just got a new pair a few weeks ago by the brand Naot. I'd never heard of them before but they are SO comfy...like walking on clouds with no break in period. Because they are mary jane style they give me the support I need (with a strap I can adjust based on how swollen my left foot/ankle is) but are open enough that nothing is touching the most sensitive areas. WAY more than I have ever spent on a pair of shoes before but since I currently have all of 2 pairs I can wear at the moment including these I think they're worth it. Sort of funny though was when I read some online reviews and people complain about where the strap is...but it works perfect for me because any higher on the foot/closer to the ankle and I wouldn't be able to wear them.
