One of my favorite side-effects of diabetes is that my feet can swell an amazing amount over the course of a day. (I have two pairs of New Balance running shoes with the same last, one is 8.5 medium and the other is 10 x-wide and both fit me perfectly depending on the day). I currently carry a minimum of three pairs of shoes when I am in the woods and I feel just a bit too much like Imelda Marcos... so I guess I am just looking for suggestions. I am also pretty heat sensitive, so I would prefer to not regulate size with thicker socks.
Should I just get some wider shoes and deal with a bit of moving around, or are there any other ideas out there? I generally don't hike more than 2-3mi per day, but comfort while driving and lounging is of supreme importance.
Throw me ideas!
