I don't have the RSD in my feet but in my left hand/arm. Although I still have aloot of function I still can't tie my own shoes (buttons and zippers are tough too) I have a pair of sneakers that slip on but not very comfy. Anyone have any other comfy sneakers that don't tie?? I have UGG boots and they are great and so very comfy!

My problem is, with the swelling in the front part of my foot, I can't get a shoe on. I've been using an orthopedic boot whenever I leave the house partially because I can't get a shoe on, but also because it helps me avoid walking on the swollen and painful ball of the foot.
I finally discovered Teva sandals fit because the toe strap can be expanded so far. But I live in snow country. What shoe can I possibly wear once cold weather comes that will fit? Anybody have any ideas?
