I have Stage 4 Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Over the course of my cancer and treatment, I developed Lymphedema of my left leg. While my right foot is a Men's Size 13 Narrow, my left foot swelled to become a Men's Size 13 Double-Wide (not a joke, Wide do not fit, Double-Wide do). My doctors prescribed medical ortho shoes that made me feel like Frankenstein's Monster. I opted for using a Snow Boot for my left leg and regular shoes for my right.
And then I found Pandere. Seriously! These are honestly great, comfortable, and fantastic shoes. With the neoprene sides, bungie laces, you can adjust them for the size and fit of your fit. These are the best shoes I've worn in the 3 years since my diagnosis and treatment!

After having a major reconstructive surgery done on my broken ankle it will not fit in regular shoes. It’s been 3.5 months and all I can wear is a slipper. I am very excited to be able to wear matching footwear. I love the look of them and they are very comfortable. Thank you for giving me back some normalcy in my life. I highly recommend these shoes. Worth every penny.

I switched to the Rambler due to the increase in swelling of my feet/ankles. These shoes are wider and much more comfortable! Thank you
JoAnn D.
I had foot surgery and was in a boot for six weeks. Needless to say my foot still swells. This shoes expands to allow me to wear this shoe on the swollen foot but also fits my other foot. It's like having two different size shoes!!

I have tried numerous shoes to fit my lymphatic feet. My biggest problem is edema around each of my ankles. After having tried numerous shoes, other than Crocs, I finally found a shoe that I could wear-The Rambler 10/12. My legs and feet are wrapped each day, and now I enjoy feeling comfortable in these wonderful shoes.

I have the Rambler in a different color I was so excited to see that it was in black for the winter! I like that they are very light weight. Once they are on it feels so comfortable. This is my sixth pair that I have bought over three years and now I wear nothing but Pandere! I hope the company will be able to continue expanding.

These are the first booties I remember owning. Once I get them on, they're comfortable. I can't wait until we get some snow to try them out!

I purchase the first pair of shoes for my husband who had experienced a fracture on the top of his foot. It has taken over 2 years to heal and still has pain when wearing any type of laced shoes with not enough support. From the first day he wore these shoes, he was able to walk normal and feel relief from the daily pain. The ability to adjust and the light weight of the shoes have made all the difference for him. Thanks for making these shoes !!!!!Will continue to be a customer :-)

I have Charcot foot which led to a right below the knee amputation. My left foot also has Charcot. It has been a struggle to find shoes which can accommodate my Charcot/swelling and orthotic on the left and can be tightened on my prosthetic foot! Very comfortable and secure and fashionable too! I am excited to share with people at my Amputee support group. I purchased the Rambler and can’t wait for the Saturday shoe in slate gray to be back in stock in my size.

My husband ordered his first pair of Pandere shoes and he loves them. He has bad lymphedema and these fit well. He reports they are comfortable. His one foot is more swollen then the other and the cinch in the front and back is very handy to adjust size. I will have to search your site because bedroom slippers for indoors would also be a nice Christmas present

Accommodates my Arizona brace great. Trouble finding hiking and work shoes for the brace. Hope they are available in black and/or brown this fall.

I am a first time buyer and I love these comfortable shoes that are light weight and fit well with my orthotics! I will definitely buy them again! They are also made very and have style!
Rebecca S.
Of all the Pandere shoes I own, this is my very favorite. It is very stylish. I have had people who do not have lymphedema ask where I bought them! Since the shoes are soft to allow stretching if your feet start swelling, it makes the shoe a little difficult to get on. The soft sides will collapse in on themselves if you don’t hold them open. You need to be able to reach your feet to put the shoes on. if you have a caretaker to help you that would be better. The soles are very sturdy. The shoes are very lightweight and very, very comfortable. I give it 10 stars, not five! Becky Sharp
Lynnette A.
PLEASE get these back in stock! These are the only shoes that don't cause extreme pain for my hammerclaw toes. I need more pairs in case my current ones break. I'm desperate :(
Rosalie O.
Love the shoe. Wear them all the time and all day. Very comfortable.
Teri K.
I am not a shoe person. In fact, I'd rather go barefoot given the choice. I recently have found it necessary to have an AFO brace for one foot and that means wearing shoes. Not only is one foot much bigger than the other, the brace makes it even larger. Anyone who wears an AFO probably understands how difficult getting a shoe on can be. Because of the material these boots are made from it's pretty easy to get them on over the brace with a boot hook. The other foot is too small for the size I had to order for the brace; however, the lacings at the heel and the elasticity of the boot make it possible for me to adjust them so they don't rub. It would be really awesome if you could buy two different sizes and even so, I am quite pleased with these shoes. The tech who made my orthotic was very impressed, also! I would have no problems buying another pair!
Susan T.
Love the shoe
Fits great
Looks fantastic
I am a happy customer
Heather B.
I have been living with lymphedema since I was 17. I am 39 now and finally have shoes that fit! I don't have to worry about what shoes I can wear or try on several pairs to find what is comfortable for that day - the Ramblers always fit! Customer service was fantastic, very helpful and considerate. Can't wait to be a repeat customer!
JoAnn W.
Very pleased with these shoes. They are very soft and the fit is perfect. Will definitely bepurchasing more.
Taylor M.
I have ordered from Pandered before and had to return the shoes because the shoes were too narrow in spite of promising upgrades. When I saw the specs on this recent upgrade I thought they had a good idea and one I could see working.
Boy did they have a winner. The idea of placing a women's shoe design on the base of a men's shoe accomplished that final link to allowing a broader, more stable base with access to a wider construction without spoiling the design. I AM SO HAPPY!!!
Christine K.
So thankful for these shoes! They have given me back a much needed sense of normalcy as I’m getting ready to head out the door. I no longer worry about what I am going to put on my feet when the weather is wet and/or cold. I just slip them on and get on with my day! They expand more then I even though they would! I wear them with my compression stocking and also when I am fully wrapped. My other (non swollen) foot also fits nicely in the shoe. I just adjust it tighter and it fits well. Thank you so much Pandere!!!
James G.
I love my dolphin rambler shoes.
Vicki S.
These shoes are great. I had all but given up on finding some shoes that would fit when I was in full swollen mode (90% of the time) and still look cute. These fit the bill. My 21 year old daughter couldn’t even find fault with them! Will certainly be buying more.
Arlene M.
I cannot tell you how much I love these shoes! I was unable to wear anything but a huge pair of men's slippers on my feet since September. I received these shoes and I feel like a new person. My left foot is smaller than my right one but I am able to allow for that difference and it appears to be a normal pair of shoes! I have shown everyone I know and I have given all literature to my doctors who did not know there is possible relief for all their patients. Thank you so very much!
Gina G.
I haven't worn actual shoes in 2 years. Seriously, my feet swell so bad house shoes are the only things I can put on my feet, and only some styles. I saw an ad for these shoes and took a chance. I am so glad that I did. The fit is perfect. The stretch (give) when my feet swell through the day is so accommodating. I have never been happier with a purchase.
Judy M.
First pair of shoes that my husband has been confortable wearing in over 5 years. thank you so much.
Mary L.
I purchased these shoes for my daughter and she says they are the most comfortable shoes that she has ever worn. I was at a real loss as to where to purchase shoes for her Lymphodema condition. We will be purchasing more shoes from you soon. They are a great product and she can wear them all day.
Jeff J.
These shoes are very comfortable on my diabetic feet. I really like the adjustability of the top lacing and the heel lacing. Imo great idea. One problem I encountered was when walking on an incline almost sideways, the left shoe lost its support capability. It could have been that I didn’t have the laces tight enough. Other than that, perfect shoes for my diabetic feet.
Brenda P.
I did like the way the Rambler, the only problem I had is the way my AFO is made. The back of the shoe was getting caught in the back of the AFO. Returned Shoe, to try the Saturday Water restance.
Patty M.
Bought the barista, sent back for the rambler...better fit for my husband’s severe edema in his ankle and foot. He loves that he can wear a shoe again. He couldn’t even slide into an old pair of crocs! Thank you Pandere Shoes!
Karin L.
This is a rave review of the Rambler AND a fervent plea for more colors. It's the only shoe that I forget I'm wearing. Do you know how rare that is? Primary bilateral lymphedema has so altered my once normal-width (women's 7) feet that they are now the shape of children's shoe-boxes. I ordered the Rambler as soon as you offered it. I couldn't wait for you to offer my smallish unisex size (Mens 5/Women's 7), so I ordered a too-big one, wearable with sox and orthotic. The black is nice and gives me a hip, Doc Martens vibe that's unexpected at age 69. Now that you regularly have the smaller unisex sizes, I WOULD BUY A PAIR IN EVERY COLOR. . . if they came in any other colors.
Am I the only customer who feels that way? I think not.
Browns/grays/blues/reds/tans: I will wear them all. Rambler in colors, pleeeeeeze.
Thanks.
Joyce k.
The high top was much to hard to get my feet into. There wasn't enough room in the arch for me to slide my brace into. I need a shoe that doesn't have a tongue in it for my right foot. Thank you for working with me, I sure do appreciate that you tried.
Jill R.
I need a very wide and long shoe due to wearing an AFO brace on my right foot. The ability to adjust the mid-foot and the back make this shoe a perfect fit! I also have a custom orthotic in the left shoe. I would highly recommend the Rambler for anyone needing orthotics or braces. And finding a shoe that is stylish is the frosting on the cake! Thanks, Pandere!!
Dona R.
I love the shoes. I have had many compliments and can wear them all day long. I have found that they help me with my balance and will be ordering the winter boots as soon as they are available.
Chatting with the representatives really sold me on these shoes. They took time to help me choose the right style and right size. I cannot wait to get up in the morning and put on my shoes. They are perfect. I especially like the shoelaces...so easy to work with!
Lorraine F.
Actually, I was very impressed with the quality and design of the shoe! The problem was that I could not get my "problem foot" into the shoe. I need shoes that open completely from the toe as my foot and ankle are "frozen" with very little range of motion.
Your customer service is outstanding - thank you ! I am gladly recommending your shoes to others.
christopher L.
I have had a fine experience with your company. The shoe I got first, the rambler, I could not get to stay on my right heel - and so had a nice talk with Ayla and sent them back for another model. I have edema , so I like the various ways your shoes can be tightened. I have had nothing but courteous and friendly service from those I have spoken to at Pendere. Chris Low
Tyanne A.
There are two things that could be improved for this shoe. First since it is supposed to be for extra wide feet, it would be more comfortable if it were made on a wider sole. Also, not everyone with lymph edema is young and fit. Some of us have mobility issues. This shoe is not easy to put on if you have knee and back issues. Having an option for regular shoe laces might help. But a shoe that you could step into would be great
Linda P.
Really soft expandable shoe, lots of space to allow my swollen foot to fit into it, very comfortable, arrived very quickly, thinking about the boots next!!
Denise K W.
These are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. I ran on a few errands and my swollen feet didn’t hurt and the same for my knees. My legs usually start to hurt after I walk around for a moment. I also love that these shoes give my ankles the support that they need!
Susan H.
I like the look and feel, but this shoe is too large. Given the wide fit, I need a size smaller which is not currently an option. I hope Pandere will make this and other styles in a women’s size 5.
Margaret Fetyko
Perfect
These are by far the best shoes we have found for my spouse. He has lymphedema in one leg/foot after having a stroke. We tried several different shoes to accommodate him being unable to get a shoe on. These fit in all the right places. Very easy to get on and very comfortable. This is our second Pandere purchase and we will be back! His Physical Therapist got the info for these shoes to tell her other patients.
Eric Schneider
Incredibly Comfortable
I love these shoes. The uppers wrap your foot without applying pressure anywhere. I don’t really have swelling issues, but I do have a Morton’s neuroma and wanted shoes that would allow me to install a thicker, supportive footbed without having the upper get too tight. These worked out out perfectly. They also look WAY nicer than any of the other shoes which are marketed for this purpose.
Deb
So Comfy I Forget I Have Them On!
After years of dealing with shoes that don't fit, Pandere has provided the perfect shoe. I was an early adopter, the first design wasn't wide enough, but they said we have more ideas coming! I was patient. Sure enough, more styles came out. I saw the potential and if they were just a touch bigger in the toe and the sides, I'd be set.
I wasn't disappointed. The second attempt needed one return for a size up. Customer service was above and beyond working with me to get the right fit without physically being there. The Ramblers arrived today and wow...like buttah! I don't usually wear shoes around the house, but these I could wear all day and then some.
Thank you, Pandere. Keep the styles coming.
Me. Kim Lee
LOVE these comfy new Ramblers!
I have very sensitive feet and so to have a comfortable shoe that doesn’t place any constricting pressure on any part of my foot, is a very welcome change. I can adjust the bungee ties to allow for swelling in different parts of my feet and enjoy comfort throughout the day! Keep up the great work of making shoes my feet can feel great in!
Maryann
Best shoe ever
Bought the Rambler for my husband who has swelling in his feet and is also a diabetic. Received the shoes yesterday, and he is thrilled. Reports this shoe is very comfortable, expanding with his swelling feet. The soles are very stable, they are very easy to get on and off. “They are brilliant”.
