Best shoes for swollen ankles and feet??

Compression socks.

I will be buying a lot of those then.
I get some nasty pitting edema. My vessels just don't hold onto the fluid like they should. It's relieved after sitting with my legs elevated. If I'm sitting at my desk, table, couch, etc- they continue to swell until I can't bend my ankles. This SUCKS b/c I love to wear sandals. When the swelling was really bad, I'd have to stick to tennis shoes or crocs. I wore crocs almost my entire pregnancy. Two reasons- It was about all I could squeeze my fred flinstone feet into by the end, and especially at the end I didn't have to try and reach to tie anything. I could just slip them on. LOL
